Things are moving along on schedule. The floors are installed up to the kitchen and the kitchen has been patched. Ben had the displeasure of taking all our laundry to a laundromat for cleaning. House repairs make you appreciate things you take for granted. I had forgotten about hoarding quarters to wash our clothes.
Ben and I used a date night to look at backsplash tile and countertops. I think I’ve settled on a design scheme. Then we ate and Red Robin and got home in time to put the kids to bed.
Yesterday we saw Hidden Figures at a theater in Stapleton. The Alamo will always be my favorite theater, but this new one, Harkins, has babysitting! It was fantastic. For $6 per kid they got movies, video games, crafts, toys, and unlimited popcorn and water in the play center in the lobby. I got a silent pager in case they needed me during the movie. I wish more places would offer services like this! The movie was great too. Not especially factual, but fun and full of good feelings and great period costumes.
Tomorrow the boys are off of school for MLK day. If they’re good and my cold and injured back are not worse, I’ll take them swimming. They’ve been good sports about the house. They deserve a treat.
“Ben and I used a date night to look at backsplash tile and countertops.” is the most grown-up sentence you’ve ever written.
