The baseboards are DONE!!!

Do you hear the angels singing?!  Andy has said that he is so sick of painting.  I have a feeling that I will be doing most of the little bits that are left here and there so that he doesn't have to.

We are looking at a bunch being done over the next few weeks; there better be because that will put us almost to June (aka the month the baby is due....HOLY COW!!)  The work for the playground starts this week.  We will work on several of the less time consuming projects while that is going on outside.  So I hope that the next version of this that gets posted will have a whole bunch of additional things checked off of the list.
