I am finally joining the blogging world! Maybe I will do a better job of recording some of the fun things that happen in our family. Here is the story that inspired it all:

The other day I painted a wall in the boys' room brown (it was yellow). My neighbor made some pillows, pillowcases and curtains so the boys have three basic colors: brown, orange, and navy blue. They have been VERY excited to have orange in their room, but I got the painting done a couple of weeks earlier than I thought I would. When Ev came home she looked and said, "Wow--that looks great mom! I love the orange stuff! I can't believe you painted the wall today!" When Et came home he said, "YES! I love the orange stuff--my curtains are sooo cool! Why does my room smell like paint?" I told him it was because I painted his wall brown at which point he insisted that it was always brown! When V. came home I asked how he liked it and he said that the curtains and pillow looked really great. I asked him if that was all he noticed and he said "Yeeees, but I'll go look again!" Like father like son!!!
