My parents headed back to Minnesota this morning. Why did they leave those evil cookies?! I'm sure I'll want a nap later, but getting up early really does help you get a jump on the day. I struggled last night at work to complete a project, but there were too many interruptions. What I couldn't accomplish in 5 hours, I completed in 1 just because I was left alone. Working at home can be much more productive.
The boys are very close to reaching their financial goal in order to make their secret purchase. They've been working extra chores. Next step, deciding whether to keep this purchase a secret or reveal it. I think they feel misunderstood and judged. Or it could be they don't want to hurt someone's feelings.
Date night is only a few days away! DH is taking me to see Alice In Chains. I'm not a huge fan, but its a concert, and I'll have the chance to let my hair down. Plus its time spent with DH!
I was thinking of painting our front door. It really needs it. I thought about choosing a color other than white, but on the other hand, if I paint the door dark, it will absorb heat in the summer and make the living room hot. I will probably end up just painting it white again.
DS10 has decided he doesn't have to be a hamburger for Halloween. I told him the foam was on the expensive side, and I wasn't sure how I could sew and stuff a costume to resemble the burger costumes he sees in the Burger King commercials.
His latest idea is to be a doughnut. I'm trying to wrap my head around how I can design that costume. I'm wondering if I could sew a slip cover of sorts for an inflatable inner tube? I'll have to sketch it out. I do like the cop/doughnut idea, like the photo I found at an online costume shop.
I better get moving. DS10 is up and eyeballing the computer. I've been sitting here too long!

I'd never make my son's costume. I can't sew + I'm not that creative. lol Can't wait to see what you come up with.
A concert with hubby sounds nice. Enjoy date night!
Have a great day!
Company gone, concert coming up, kids saving money for special purchase, painting the front door and Halloween costumes. Whew!!
I need to paint our front and back doors. Going back to the original "wood" color, I think. Dark green right now and in bad need of a re-do. As soon as it cools down.... Need new knobs and locks, too.
Have a good evening!
When I started swimming actively at the end of March this year I became a morning person. If I start the work at eight o'clock in the morning I have to get up at five o'clock that I have enough time to swim before I go to work and start the day at the office. That's early but it was easy to get used to it really.
I'm a person who cannot take a nap. If I have a nap I'm totally "out of the game" for the rest of the day and the plus effect is that it's hard to fall asleep in the evening when I go to bed.
Alice In Chains event sounds nice and a good time spent together is always good. I've not been to any concert for a while. It'd be also nice to go to see a movie sometimes soon, because I've not been to the movies for ages either, but it seems my time is very limited these days. We'll see.
Do have yourself a good morning and afternoon! Take care!
