Today...

Matt stayed home from work today, his eyes look a little funky, maybe pink eye?  Ewe!
BUT, that meant he could stay home w/ E while I went out to run errands... after I dropped O off at preschool.
That is right, today he started his new preschool program at Clearfield Community Center.  Two times a week.  I decided to opt out of home preschool for E for the rest of the year.
O was very excited to go, even w/o really knowing what was in store.  He walked right in and acted like he knew what was going on!  He met his teacher with a bright smile on his face.  I'm proud of him. 
My errands included Target for returns, and a quick browse for inspiration, upcoming shoot on Saturday.  Marshalls, also to look for any new goodies for my baby shoot this weekend.  Found nothing for that, but a few things for myself, oh how I love to shop... should've not gone in!
Michaels, said shoot.
Payless for another return.
Picked up my little man, and Tyce, dropped him off, it will be nice to carpool w/ Molly.
Then, little O and I went to grocery shop, which is much different w/ just one little helper.  We had a good time together and O was actually very helpful!  It is amazing how much energy those two give each other when together, not always for my benefit!

I started painting my family room today, bought my paint last night after dance.
Was initially going to just go w/ a lighter brown, but on a whim went w/ a very pale blue color.  I want to brighten up that space, it will feel more contemporary and airy... is my hope!
I started painting and wasn't quite sure.  The thing I now love about that room are the beams that run across the ceiling.  They were that ugly 70's brown when we first moved here.  I loved them immediately after the paint job!  I have enjoyed the drastic contrast of the brown and white.  There won't be as great a contrast w/ the color I've chosen and I've had to step back and evaluate.  I started on the wall w/ my white bookcases to see how I feel.  I've only done one coat, now it is dry. 
I think I will finish.  It's different, but it's what I am going for.  There is enough contrast that it looks different than white, but light enough still that the whole room looks white-ish.  We'll go w/ it, I'll decorate and if I hate it I'll paint again in a month!!!

Fed the sister missionaries tonight.  Q helped me put a few things back up in our house.  She loves to decorate.  E has some nasty barking cough, not all of the time, just when he is sleeping.  He woke up w/ it last night and again while napping.

G and M spent a ton of time today playing the Wii.  They are both intense in trying to get past this certain board.  I could hear them both, whenever someone spoke to them, hurry, pause it, pause it.  G definitely had more free time on that today than he normally does!!!
