I didn't take a picture today. We were busy, not doing anything terribly exciting, and it just didn't happen.
This morning I woke up early and headed out for a 10-mile run. I was home by 8:30. I showered, got ready, and headed out for some time to myself while Erik watched the kids. We try to take turns and give each other breaks as much as possible. We wish we had more kid free time to hang out TOGETHER, but we take what we can get.
I went out and did some shopping, had lunch, and did my favorite thing: sat and drank coffee while reading at Borders. It was some nice "me" time and much needed peace and quiet. Erik took the boys to Brownstown park, brought them home and fed them lunch and entertained them until nap time.
When I got home, naptime was ending, so we set to work on some things we are trying to get done in the house. We have already rearranged our bedroom, and it looks great. Now we are working on Alex's bedroom. He is, starting tonight, going to be sleeping in a full sized bed. We bought him a new mattress to go with the headboard and footer we had in the attic (it used to be our bed until we upgraded to a queen). It is a really nice bed. We got it set up, and we are looking forward to get his room finished soon. We are relentlessly checking Craigslist and our local used furniture store to find a dresser and bookshelf that will go with his bed. We ordered fish bedding that will go well with the border that is already in his room. It is going to be such a nice big boy room for Alex, we can't wait until it's done!
Then Erik had a guitar lesson, and while he was doing that I had dinner with the boys and played some games with Alex. We then resumed home projects -- getting Alex's room straightened up, putting stuff away, Erik is working on getting our antenna working better . . . there is always something to be done around here!
That's it for now, I will try to get a picture of SOMETHING tomorrow!
Bye from Boomerang Drive!
