Well, the week started off with me pulling out a pen and paper and sitting the guys(Jason and Adam) down. We “had” to create a list of “to do’s” for the house before we hosted Easter. I could see without a list that things could get ugly around here! HA! Here is what our list looked like! I am sure you will agree with me on why we needed to make a list!
1. Finish laying tile - Completed the weekend before Easter: See the results!
2. Paint Touch Ups and Electrical
Rainwashed by Sherwin Williams
Barcelona Beige by Sherwin Williams
3. Find kitchen table – completed Saturday before Easter
4. Find Chairs for the new table. I do have to brag a bit about our find. We got all of our chairs at Waterfront Rescue Mission in downtown Pensacola for $5 each! Just took a little work to get just right.
5. Find fabric to cover the seats.

After:
6. Mop the floors to try to remove all of the grout haze. See what I got to help with this! It’s my new favorite toy.
7. We had Jason(on his day off of course, yes I am a slave driver) pressure wash the driveway and back area around the pool. It made such a difference.
8. Clean, Clean, Clean – completed all day before Easter
9. Place furniture in place. All of our furniture pieces have been living in one of our spare bedrooms for a while now during all of our flooring processes.
10: Decorate and get ready for the family! We were so excited to get to host this year. We worked very hard to get the house in somewhat of a presentable state. I am was also very excited that my aunt and uncle from Arkansas were down in Gulf Shores and got to attend!
After lunch, we attended the Purdy family Easter gathering. Might I add that this side of the family has 15 grandchildren, plus there were other families invited. This made for a good time with tons of children running around, searching for eggs, even trying to catch them from the egg drop!
Hope you all had a wonderful Easter!!
Until Next time!
