Today was a....

Today was a very productive day. Especially when you have a teenager who can watch the younger boys. Even though we came home to a house in a much different state than when we left. Shame on them. The house was still standing though so I can be thankful. :) And the boys were still alive. Christopher wasn't home so I am sure that had a great deal to do with it. He spent the day with a friend and had a blast.
Back to the day at hand...
Russell and I took off and went to Hillsboro and braved the myriads of crazy carted shoppers at WinCo. Got what we needed and had a quiet lunch at Burger King. We saw a van on Craig's List we were interested in seeing and reached the owners. It was still for sale so we went to check it out. It drives very nice, low miles, captain's chairs all around (yes!), leather interior, 2 side doors. We are hoping it will still be around next week when our tax money returns. Because we will be going back to hand over a nice check for a new van! Keep your fingers crossed! We are hoping....hoping....hoping....

Then....we took a detour on the way home to Home Depot. We priced shelving for the boys' closet and since Russell was in a very animated discussion with his brother on the cell phone....I picked out some paint, primer, paint tray and painting stuff to do the boys' bathroom this week. I can't wait to see how it will turn out!
