Almost a month since my last entry. I'm not very good at keeping up with this! I have a new found respect (or envy) of those that can blog nearly every day because that is far from me. Life gets in the way - especially when life is 2 very busy little boys.
Thanksgiving was great. The boys love spending time with their cousins so they spent 3 nights at Grandma's house loving every minute of it. On Monday, I noticed there is down side to spending so much time with 12-17 year olds. Dominic said, "I have to re-write this sentence because it looks crappy." I explained that "crappy" is word that is not appropriate for a 6 year to be using. He realized it as soon as it was out of his mouth. I secretly hope that in 10 years, "crappy" is the worst word that comes out of his mouth!
I spent "Black Friday" shopping with my Mom and sister. We had a great time and managed to find some bargins. I am happy to report that I'm done Christmas shopping!
Mark and I had a "minor" mishap over the weekend though. As I was backing out of the garage to leave for work, Mark accidently hit the worng garage door opener. He hit my door instead and it closed as I was backing out. I hit the bottom panel of the garage door - denting the tailgate of the van and bowing the garage door out. Mark had to kick and hammer the garage door back to somewhat normal before it would close again. Needless to say, our nexy home project will be replacing the garage door.
Speaking of home projects, we are painting nearly the entire inside of the house. We did manage to get the vast majority of the house painted before bringing out the Christmas decorations. Our kitchen is now green and the main part of the house is a tan/gray. At first, all the boys really hated it, but they are slowly coming around. I have also installed curtain rods and the boys do not seem to like my decorating style at this moment. I told all of them that when they get a decorating degree, I will listen to them - but for now I get to do what I want!
