This weekend we tried to get some work done around the house. One of the jobs was to put a coat of stain on the deck chairs. Well if you bring out paintbrushes, Sarah and I are excited and ready to help.

We got to wear some of dad's old shirts to keep our clothes clean.

Then an important lesson on how to stain. First, don't touch anything. Second, don't put paintbrushes on the grass. Third, no sucking your thumb while painting. we managed to follow most of the rules.

Finally time to paint. We are naturals.

I get the feeling our parents are really looking forward to the day when we can do this job with no assistance.
