Need help with brakes asap

I took my calipers off my car this weekend to paint them and install new rotors. When I took the brake hose off I lost alot fo brake fluid, so I filled it back up after I put everything back together. But my front brakes aren't working! The pedal just goes all the way to the floor, I tried pumping it a few times, but still nothing.

Did I miss something? IS there something else I need to do?

Yeah I completely forgot about that when I was taking the calipers off. I don't have anyone to help me do it, so I had to creep next door to merchants and have them do it. DOH! Another lesson learned.
