02/11/09: Paint

Today we were kicked out of our house so it could be painted. So went to town and did other things....

• Picked out and ordered carpet.
• Bought a new upright freezer.
• Practiced 30 Spanish words on the children's menu at a Mexican restaurant. Good thing Alex knows how to speak Spanish, because I was messing up the pronunciations.
• Listened to Story of the World vol. 2 for two hours. (To town and back).
• I was pulled over for the first time in my entire life. (See family blog post).
• Went to scouts.
• Had cousins over after scouts for a couple of hours. The painter had left. (She's really a family friend. I shouldn't refer to her as the "painter").
• Alex and I put the Mud Room and the Kitchen back together. (Almost, except the food storage).
• Olivia rode the horse with Alex.
• I read 1/2 chapter out of The Iliad by Homer.
• The boys bought new Lego's in town with their saved up money. They've spent all evening working on them. Jared's was a 650 piece one and Luke's was a 450 piece one.
• Oh, and yesterday Olivia measured the house with Alex and he had her figure out the square feet so we knew how much carpet to order.
