Adam has been crawling in our bed in the mornings and falling asleep there. Eli woke up and his bandage was off his thumb. I sat in the chair with him and rolled up the gauze to get ready to put it back on. He only cried when I put the square gauze over his thumb. We got it back on and he wanted down to play. The boys watched Mighty Machines while eating cheerios. Jared took the day off work. We went into town for drinks and donuts. When I asked Eli if he wanted donuts he smiled and said, "Yaaaah!" The boys got out blocks to build with. Eli wanted to be held more that usual and didn't want me getting far from him. Jared went outside to rake up the grass with the lawn sweeper. We had pizza for lunch. Eli went to sleep quickly for his nap. We went outside and hauled out a file cabinet for Jared's office. It was dirty and had some rust on it. We cleaned it up and Jared used a wire brush on his drill to get the rust off. He and the boys then went to the store to get paint. Adam had chocolate on his face and said they had M&M's. Eli had woke up from his nap with the bandage off again. We went outside and the boys played while Jared or I spray painted the file cabinet. The boys played in the sand and rode their bikes in the driveway. We came inside and ate a late dinner. Eli wanted to sit on my lap during dinner.
