It was Heather's birthday on Thursday. Happy Birthday Heather! Hope you had a wonderful day!!!
And congratulations to Alicia and Dallin on the birth of baby Peter on Friday! Very exciting.
Big goal for the week: painting the outside of the house. First hurdle: choosing colors. It took a while but we finally settled on Winter Sky Grey for the house and Connecticut Blue for the trim. Winter Sky Grey is a blue-grey. We are still deciding on the color for the doors.Very dark blue? Black? Grey? Tan? What's opposite blue-grey on the color wheel? Anyone have any suggestions?
Next hurdle: prepping the house. Glen took care of that. He spent 3 days prepping the house. Then we started painting. Last hurdle (besides painting the doors): it still needs a bit touching up, but the job is mostly done!

Zooloretto--So I went to a few thrift stores the other day looking for nightstands. Didn't find any of those, but Alex was very proud of me for getting the game Zooloretto ($40 on amazon) for only $1 (all games were 50% off!). It's a Rio Grande Game (we usually like those) and it won the Spiel des Jahres award in 2007. Anything that wins that is great in Alex's eyes. We've played it twice (and Alex won both times, of course). Not very complicated, but a lot of fun. There are animal tiles and you try to fill the enclosures in your zoo for points.

And our garden is finally producing food! We had our first tomatoes and zucchini this week. There's nothing like the taste of a home-grown tomato. Fabulous. Too bad it looks like we'll be getting more zucchini than tomatoes (at least for a little while).
