Our Day at Home

I had planned on taking us to the Toy Library this morning but Ehric slept in until 9:30am and Aiden kept crying over every little thing. So plans changed. I spent most of the day sorting papers and then filing papers into my new filing cabinets upstairs. I also worked on laundry and cleaning up the house. So the boys had a pretty lazy day and watched a lot more TV than they should have. Atleast it was educational TV.

Usually the boys go outside when Daddy gets home but Daddy was tired today. The boys didn't mind, because they had fun making Valentine's cards for our party with our Lego group tomorrow. They also spent quite a bit of time blowing up balloons and drawing on them. Ehric said he was blowing them up for the party tomorrow.

Aiden's eye area and cheek are so yellow. I think his suture area looks good, no infection.

Tomorrow I really want to get the boys outside...we have been cooped up too much lately!

Some other things the boys did today:

Vacuumed rug (they initiated this activity)
