We headed to Tulsa this morning for a 5-year-old's birthday party at the Tulsa Children's Museum. Cool place. It had the little scenes for kids to play - grocery store, post office, ice cream store, doctor's office, stage, jail, and a playhouse. They also had a huge room with a climbing wall (Jackson's favorite) and a very large climbing structure (Reid's favorite). Two hours later we left...the kids were tired and sweaty and we were tired from watching them scurry around.
After we got home, Damon was back in home improvement mode trying to finish up Jackson's room. We are so close to finishing. The carpets were shampooed and the curtain rod was put up, last night. Today, Damon and a friend of ours put in the ceiling fan. The closet doors are coming along - half of them are up and the other half are sanded and primed in the garage. We will move him back in the room tomorrow.
Damon and Patrick also put in a new light fixture over the kitchen table. Wow....that again just shows us how much we want to change in this house. The new light is COOL! The light also brings a softer light to the dining area and in general just makes the area more attractive. Through the afternoon, we also realized that we need to change out all of the ceiling fans. After we saw Jackson's new white one in, the others in the house went from okay to "my gosh, get those out of my house" very quickly. We will probably replace them as we work on each room, but we know for sure they need to be replaced.
Tonight, I am dealing with a grumpy/tired four-year-old and a tired nine-year-old. Bed time is coming early tonight for everybody. I need to get bills paid and the checkbook updated, so I can concentrate on moving Jackson out of our dining room tomorrow!
And, I need to start thinking about what I am going to pack for next weekend!
