Grown up fun

Today was Shelby's first official day of leave. He took the whole week off so we could do some fun family stuff before Colin starts back to school. We didn't do anything really special today. We ran some errands, and went to Home Depot for some new blinds for the front window and paint for the front door. You know, your typical adult fun day! I am ecstatic about both these purchases actually and though they may not be exciting to read about, they are definitely exciting for our house. The tired front door has been faded since we moved in and it drives me nuts. The blinds, well we started out with those horrible vertical blinds that fall down if you look at them wrong. We replaced them with nice dark wooden blinds that are easier to use and more functional with kids and pets. The cats love them, apparently they are multipurpose and the strings double as cat toys. I don't have any exciting pictures of blinds or the paint, which is not on the door yet.
