Quiet week so far

and I don't mind at all. I am a little sad that I haven't gotten over to the house to paint though. Work has been crazy, busy. We're rolling out a new look to iVillage the first week of October (knock on wood.) You can see information here: http://www.ivillage.com/message-board-upgrade-faq/8-a-259829  and have a sneak peek to the new look here: http://ivillage.com/sneak-peek-upgraded-ivillage-message-boards/8-b-256690 We're spending a lot of time training on how to use the new boards and trying to make sure everything is updated and correct for the roll over - in addition to doing all of our regular work too. So, I can hardly wait for the new boards to roll out and things getting back to normal. (Whatever that is!)

Did I mention how much fun the boys had at their science class last week? Not just playing with their friends but they learned stuff too. Last week was about water quality. I think they REALLY wanted to go to the class today (because it was a repeat from a class the other kids enjoyed last year - not because they knew what it was about. ) But, "Franklin" was rather sick yesterday so I made us all stay home today so we didn't share that little pleasantness. :( They were really bummed.

Anyhow.... "Franklin" & "Patch"  - I've decided to rename the boys for the world wide web. I'm stealing the idea from a g/f just to keep us all a little safer out there. I will eventually go back and change their real names off of this blog and use them on FB and other places. Franklin is for Ben Franklin a jack of all trades and master of many - this would be for the 11yo. Patch is for Patch Adams who (if you haven't seen the Robin Williams movie) is a funny doctor and the 8yo is rather silly and has great caregiving instincts.

So, hopefully, I'll get some painting done at the rental tomorrow & Friday - wish me luck!
