Interesting how we have a bit more data on Robert and a lot less on Colleen. Who was in charge of data collection? We'll try to do a better job from here on out.

Bugs in a rug

Finally quiet at the end of a crazy day. Cate painted the girls' room basically solo this morning and early afternoon, though each of the kids got to participate a little bit. I took the kids out of her hair, to Elizabeth's tae kwon do class and two Home Depots, before Cate left for work.

Since the girls' room isn't dry yet, and we won't know until tomorrow if it needs another coat, that means there are two displaced children tonight. We discussed various options but I thought it was best if Colleen slept in Robert's room. (Robert has been dying for a roommate.)

Surprisingly, once that was decided, Elizabeth decided she wanted to sleep there as well ... with Colleen ... in the same bed.

Now, I'm not dumb enough to try to put them all to sleep at the same time, so Elizabeth read in our bed while I read the younger two a book. And since we had to make a quick post-dinner trip to the store (stuff we need for Mother's Day), they were pretty tired already. In fact, the older two are sleeping in T-shirts and sweats. Colleen is wearing Dora, but at age 3, who cares if you're out in your PJs?

But seriously, I'm glad we have more than two bedrooms.
