10 things I did today

I really am trying to update more often for all 2 of you that read this. :) But most of the time I don't feel like I have anything interesting enough to say. So I saw this on another blog and thought it was a good idea. Here are 10 things I did today:

-got up (and got my entire family up) before 8:00am for the first time this summer-I am so not a morning person
-took Addi to John Colemon Elementary to meet her Kindergarten teacher, Mr Baker, and be tested by him. He was concerned about her speech, but was ok when I told him that she is already in speech therapy which is actually right across the hall from his classroom. He was really impressed with her penmanship.
-we found out who Mason's first grade teacher is and went to her class to meet her-Mrs. Thomas
-took Chris to the dentist. He had to have a bunch of work done so he had to be sedated. He got done around 11:00am. It is now 8:30pm and he is still asleep. I guess he was pretty tired!
-took the kids to McDonalds for breakfast, then to Walmart to grab a few things, then to Hollywood video to get a PS2 game and DVD's for our day at home.
-did a load of laundry
-made a new peg shelf for our lower bathroom (where the kids hang their jackets and backpacks.) We've had one for a while, but there wasn't enough room to add a hook for the baby, so I made a new one. I just bought a piece of pine that is 1x6x36 and painted it red. Then I distressed it and put some coat hooks on it. The coat hooks were ugly, shiny gold, so I spray painted them with cool spray paint that made the hooks look rusty.
-I also painted an old cabinet shelf I had. It was forest green and just hiding in my closet since I don't have that color in my house any more. I gave it a few coats of read spray paint, then distressed it. I then hung it in the bathroom on the wall by the coat hook shelf. I love the way it all turned out!!!!
-after all the projects I did, my kitchen was a mess, so I loaded the dishwasher, swept, vacuumed and mopped. So much better!!!!!
-fed Chris some yogurt, pudding and applesauce.

Whew! It's been a very long day. The kids and I are now relaxing watching a Tom and Jerry movie. I'm hoping they fall asleep soon, so I can go to sleep too!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!
