I have blue hair

by Allison Goines

Why can I not paint without getting paint in my hair?  I guess it’s for the same reason that I can’t paint without brushing again the wall at some point, creating a smudge and ruining my shirt.

I’ve been decorating the boys’ rooms.  Bug has a lovely blue room with a Thomas and Friends theme.  Bear has a green room with a Sponge Bob Theme.  Bug’s room looks like sky and Bear’s like water.  They love it.

We’re also in the process of “changing clothes”.  This time of year it begins to be cool in the mornings and warm in the afternoons.  It requires Fall/Winter clothing to start the day and Spring/Summer clothing to finish it out.  Very frustrating for me!  I have the Fall/Winter clothing hanging and the Spring/Summer stuff folded in laundry baskets.  Hopefully within the next three weeks we’ll be completely in our Fall/Winter “stuff”.

Well, this week is quickly coming to an end.  Today is report card day for Bug and Bear and Bean have preschool. We have soccer all day Saturday and no plans for Sunday.

It’s been a great week.  With Bug’s time off from school on Monday and Tuesday we were able to enjoy some one-on-one time.  My husband took off work yesterday and today and the boys had a blast playing soccer and “horseplay” with him.  It’s just been an easy-breezy week.  I hope for more like these before the rush of the holidays hits us again.
