Escape From the Paint




Today we spent the day out to keep away from the paint fumes in the house. We changed our living room from a dark green to a medium tan that should brighten up the room. However, we did not want to inhale those fumes, which gave us a wonderful excuse to meet Ashley at Taps in Brea for lunch.


Afterwards we headed back to Claremont, so Andrea could have a haircut, and Tom took Garrett and Katie for a walk around the Claremont Village. After a big loop around the Village, we stopped at Starbucks, then the ATM machine. Garrett was quite content except when we stopped in the small park across from Harvard Square, so we kept moving for the rest of the hour.

Once Andrea was done with her haircut, it was time for a feeding and changing. Breastfeeding in the back of the car was pretty easy, but the diaper change proved more challenging. By the time he was done, Garrett had blasted some poop on Tom's shirt, but with Andrea's help, everyone got cleaned up.

Our last stop before returning home was to the bank where Garrett was quite popular with all the employees. After the boring business of getting every account changed to Cordova-Caddes from our previous last names, we opened a savings account for Garrett. We also started an education fund for his college education.

Now we are heading back to check out the living room, pack up, and head to Orange County for a few family days while the paint fumes disapate.
