Weekly Winners Sept 7-13

My weekly winners this week are all taken from my Project 365-Boys Play that I have been working on this year.

We decided to paint the boys' room this week. Word must have gone out about it because while DH & I were moving the furniture around, these guys showed up:

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Contractorsaurs. 

They had their own equipment so we hired them but soon there problems.

They seemed to have issues with the spackle

I'm fairly certain some child labor laws were being broken

That doesn't look like painters' tape to me

Watching paint dry. We're not paying them by the hour are we?P9070063-2

5 days later (3 days longer than planned) the room was finished P9120008a

    I couldn't even attempt to start painting. I need to call in my own Contractosaurus.

    The dinos did well. Even if they were underpaid. My favorite was their watchful eye over the drying paint.

I thought I was too late to sign up for it because I was a couple days behind on reading Mel’s blog, but then she contacted me and asked if I could do a post about punctuation. Punctuation? Yes. Punctuation. or perhaps I mean: Yes…punctuation. The first response is clear cut. Yes. It is about punctuation. The second is slightly less certain.  Yeeessss.
