***We painted the office in Ground Nutmeg (not Pumpkin Patch). And, we have changed the New Chestnut in the rest of the basement to Toasted Wheat. The Chestnut color was just a tad to dark for me, especially since it was a basement.***

We have gotten three coats painted in the office, and I think we are done with the painting in there. We still have probably one more coat in the rest of the basement to do with the Toasted Wheat color. I am debating whether I will do one wall a different (darker) color from the rest, and if I decide to do that, then I will have to paint that wall again. We picked out and ordered our carpet on Saturday morning. It should be in sometime this week. Chad and his Uncle Kenny worked on the basement for quite a few hours on Saturday while Addison and I were at the bridal shower (Presley napped almost the entire time at home.) They got a door hung up and worked on some trim. Sunday Chad's dad and Uncle Rusty came over and got lots done on the drop ceiling. We ended up going with something similar to this. It's about 1/2 way done and Chad has put about 1/2 the lights up in the drop ceiling. Things are definitely rolling now. Chad and I painted until close to midnight on Friday night then he worked in the basement all day Saturday and Hilary and I painted after the shower on Saturday night and Sunday Chad worked in the basement all day and Hilary and I painted again last night. I think Chad and I decided to take tonight off, so no work in the basement for us. We are hoping to get to bed early. We have been spending a lot of time in the basement, and we both woke up still exhausted today. So we will go back for more painting tomorrow night. Hilary has offered to come back and help again. After the painting is done and the drop ceiling in, we will go back and work on getting the rest of the doors in and then putting up the trim. It seems like we have gotten so much done, but when I think about all there is still left to do, wow! I guess it's because everything is happening so fast. Oh well, I know we will be so thankful when it is finished. Chad was saying that he won't have anything else to work on in the house after this is finished and I reminded him that Presley and Addison's birthdays are coming up and we will need a playset installed in the backyard soon.... :) I'm sure there will always be something.

Sorry there aren't any pictures. I guess I don't think about grabbing the camera while we are busy working. I will try to get down and take some tonight. Happy Monday!
