Window trim gets stuccoed

Well, today Ben got the first coat of stucco on the windows and finished the west wall stucco/texture so it's ready to be painted Saturday (the blue tape in the window pictures is masking tape). We got a bad batch of "Quikwall" so Ben recommended that he use plain stucco to finish the remaining 50 square feet (see gray stucco in picture, below, with Boone-Hoone, the mountain goat dog, lying on the top of the remaining AAC blocks).Picture of kitchen window last summer:Picture of kitchen window today:With this eventual look:
While Ben stuccoed I bored a 4" hole in the utility room wall for the dryer exhaust (look closely in this picture for dryer-flappy-thingy under the scaffold board).I purchased masonry paint for the stucco with the refund Quikcrete gave me for the bad bags of Quikwall that I bought at Home Depot... it all worked out and we'll try to paint Saturday.
