Crazy Day!

For a day that started out with a curfew it turned out to be a very busy day. At 10:00, still in my pajamas because seriously what's the rush to get dressed when you can't leave the house, I found out that they were lifting curfew from 10-5 so that we could get out and get groceries. Knowing that the grocery stores were going to be crazy I raised down the stairs and yelled at the boys to get up and get ready to go (evidently frightening them quite a bit, but I wasn't aware of it at the time). By 10:10 we were running out the door to the grocery store. It's literally 2 blocks away and we ended up walking most of that because of the lines of traffic. It was INSANE. I've never seen so many people at one time. No shopping carts, people were using vegetable crates and trash cans to carry their shopping. We stocked up on lots of groceries then tried to check out. Oh my goodness! I'm convinced we'd still be there if Darwin hadn't found an aisle just opening up and called us from across the store. The lines were insane. Check out http://www.disciple.blogspot.com/ for pictures of the shopping experience. Mark and Lori shopped at the same place we did today.

When we got home from the store I took our freezer that was in desperate need of being defrosted from this....

To this...

That took a good hour. Then we decided to go get paint to take our living room from this....

Yeah those weird shadows in the middle of the wall aren't shadows they're dirty child hand print lines. It was definitely time to paint.

To this...

This is the paint I got to go on the rest of the living room but I think it's going to go in the kitchen. It's not exactly the color I thought it was going to be. I thought it was a grey color but turns out it's actually Lavendar Twilight when I read the English version on the can. So I'm looking for input on what color I should paint the rest of the living room. Remember the floor is red! That kind of throws a wrench in things, not that I don't LOVE my tile floor :).The country continues to be in extreme tormoil. Tomorrow they are supposed to lift the curfew but I fear that it's just going to be easier for there to be more protests and violence in the streets. We don't plan on getting out until we're sure it's not too dangerous. There was a lot of violence today with the police and the protesters. I fear this is going to get much worse before it gets better so please continue to pray.

On the schedule for tomorrow....More painting!! And if things really are calmed down all day we'll feed the homeless but I don't hold out much hope for that. Today they were holding the arrested protestors in the stadium.
