Feeling Blue?

I took the day off today while Shannon repainted the kitchen/dining room.

That's right: we painted today. Four kids, two dogs and a few gallons of paint… what could possibly go wrong?

Actually Shannon and I did a pretty good job without too many hitches. The kitchen walls are now a beautiful shade of blue, contrasting nicely with the white trim and natural wood stains. We knocked it out in about five hours and couldn't be happier!

After the painting, I took the three older boys, Brennan, Tanner, and Eli, out for ice cream. I sat with my precious progeny while they ate Russell Stover's hand scooped ice cream. We came back and played video games (the older three boys and I) for the rest of the afternoon.

What a wonderful day.
