Back to Life

Labor Day was uneventful, but it was good to have the long weekend. We decided to paint the living room late Sunday night after the kids were in bed. We figured that would be easier than trying to take care of them and paint at the same time on Monday. We finished around 1 in the morning, and it looks really good. I'm now inspired to paint every room in the house. Yesterday we all took naps. I must say it was highly unusual and very enjoyable. Nils and Anders went to Krispy Kreme in the morning and got a dozen donuts. That's pretty much all we ate the whole day. It was ever so much fun, yet a little disgusting.
Last night when we were saying family prayer, Anders decided he wanted to say it. It's the first time he's said a prayer by himself, and it was so funny and cute. He listed all the things he was thankful for: Mommy, Daddy, Addie, eating donuts, going to Grandma's house, Mommy's blankie, Daddy's blankie, the pillows, and then he goes, "That's all, I'm all done!". Very cute. One of those rewarding parent moments. It's nice to have those once in awhile.
