Not completely boring

Well, it wasn't another completely boring day in the house. I had to get out today before I went insane. I haven't been out of the house since Sunday night church.

After Blay's morning nap (waking at 1245)I wanted him to eat and then we were going to leave. That didn't work as planned because he got spaghetti and spaghetti o's (yes, he had both) all over him. He's discovered his got hair so he plays with it constantly, even while eating. So, I had to give him a bath. That ate up about an hour of his between nap time, which is usually 2 - 3 hours. We left the house at 210 and returned home at 415. We weren't out long but it was such a relief to just get out.

Our first stop was to the Samaritan Center in Ooltewah to drop off the stuff we didn't sell in the yard sale for donation. Then we were on our way to the YMCA, the back way. I wanted to enjoy this time out. I am still looking for a kid friendly gym and checked them out and their prices. A little high but I've got to do something and quick. Blay loved looking at the pool. I am going to check into swim lessons for him. I don't want him to be afraid of the 'big' pool as he kind of is now.

Our next to last stop was to Lowe's to find a curtain rod for our bathroom. I am trying to add some 'spice' to our house on some of the bare walls and rooms. We are really neutral so I am slowly adding color and pictures where ever possible. Room #1 is our bathroom and it's almost done. Next, either the kitchen or our bedroom. That'll be in a month or so though.

Our last stop was a definite mommy stop. Sonic. 1/2 price drinks from 2-4pm so I got a cherry coke and a chocolate shake, which I shared with Blay whenever possible. He got a lot when we got stopped by the train.

I was hoping for a nap when we returned home but that didn't happen until 6 and for only about 45 minutes. Mommy napped to because Blay was up for a while at 430 am this morning so I was up listening to him and then up before he was this morning. I've now got to go pick up his toys, do the dishes, and vacuum.

John will be home tomorrow and with a new toy, a grill! Ours kind of caught fire about 2 months ago. Oops.

I will try to take some pictures tomorrow to post of John and Blay mowing the yard. Seems weird to say that because it's not been done in almost a month due to lack of rain. Thank you Faye!!!
