Inside for the day

Last night we decided to keep Madison home from school today since she has a terrible cold that keeps her up through the night. When I woke up this morning I called the school to let them know and left a message. Then I looked out the back window to find that there was ice everywhere and of course all the schools are closed today. I went outside to get a good look around and discovered that my slippers can be used as ice skates for the driveway. I went inside to watch the news and they showed the freeways with sheets of ice and several accidents so I called Mario to find out if he made it to the airport. He said he was driving real slow and was almost there. I can't believe him sometimes especially after sliding on the freeway last night and watching some other truck slide off the embankment. We have no plans today except to get plenty of rest so we can get rid of this yuckie cold bug once and for all.

Just getting started

Matthew and Madison both couldn't wait for his new bedroom set. The day it was delivered I picked up Madison from school and the first thing she said was I want to go home and see Matthew's bed. I still need to take pictures of his room completed with furniture so I'll be posting soon.

Bedroom Makeover

This past weekend we finally finished decorating Matthew's bedroom. We painted the walls a rusty brown color to match Tow Mater but it looks a bit orange. It took 3 coats and probably needed a fourth coat. Next time we will definitely use a tinted primer. Matthew was getting a little use to climbing into Madison's bed and sleeping with her so we wanted to get him excited about sleeping in his own room. We ordered a Disney's Cars quilt and decorated with lighting McQueen pillows. I still have to get some Cars posters framed and his room should be complete. Matthew just loves his new room and stayed in his own bed all night. The bedroom set is a little big but Mario was able to arrange everything so Matthew could have some floor space to play. I'll take some pictures and post them when we finish.
