Painting Crew

One day, in order to earn some extra money, Tim and I and Elise agreed to help my dad paint the hallway of the apartment building he owns in Newark. Here we all are after the long day! We took most of the day painting the ceilings and the walls including the yucky brown color on the bottom half of the walls. There are three floors that we painted, and all of us were working together all day. As my sister will attest to, this was not the first time that our whole family has spent time painting. It is a long tradition in our family. So since we had so much practice doing painting, Tim and have kept up the tradition by painting every place we've lived in since we got married. We are pretty much a professional painting crew at this point which is of course why my dad hired us for the job. (That and the fact that Tim and I could definitely use the money while we were out there. Oh yes, and the sign we are holding says, "Careful, fresh paint, banister painted too." It had to be in Spanish because everyone who lives in the building speaks Spanish and some of them don't speak much English. What can I say it's Newark! All in all we did have a fun time painting, and we got free lunch and a check at the end of the day to ease the back pain!
