We had a VERY full day today.

Brendan got to wear shorts again. He had to wear Gramma’s favorite jeans shorts so that he could go grocery shopping this morning.

Wouldn’t you know it, in the mile and a half it takes to get to the store, Brendan had to make a giant poop diaper. Back of the car diaper change time! It was only in the 90’s today, but it was 100% humid so it was miserable.

Both boys did a great job shopping.

Shortly after we got home, it started to rain again. It rained really hard last night with lots and lots of lightning and thunder. Both boys slept through it all, I was so glad! Trevor loves the rain!

Brendan was less than thrilled

We had a big plan for today, and Trevor was a super helper! He is good at taping.

Months ago when we had our french doors replaced, there was drywall repair that had to be done, which means the wall needed to be painted. I really liked the wall color it was, but it was a fancy multi-toned faux texture job and I didn’t have the paint to patch it. After a lot of searching, I finally found the right paint, and it was REALLY close to the old color. The color is called “Cup of Cocoa” and that is just what it looks like!

We did all the furniture moving, wall repair, taping, and prep while the boys were awake. I was going to paint while they slept. Someone had other plans!

“Naps are for babies”

My friend Virginia came over to help keep the boys out of trouble. Brendan didn’t trust her much, but he was OK with her reading to him without touching him.

It is hard to take a picture with the bright windows, but we are starting to get things put back together. We got 2 walls out of 3 painted. The third wall just has way too much stuff on it. (shelves, lamps, etc) The new color is so close, it doesn’t look bad. We can do that wall when Brendan moves out of the living room! At least the most annoying white wash over the door is gone!

We hope that Gramma and Grampa had a safe day of driving today and can enjoy their own beds tonight. That 10 days went by so fast!

I have had a little bit of a sore throat and sinus drainage these past few nights and today Trevor had a runny nose and a bit of congestion. I am not the least bit surprised with the extra exposure he has gotten lately. I just hope that it is mild and quick and that it stays away from Brendan and Bill.
