I (we) have been watching the Olympics a lot. I was pleasantly surprised that I watched the entire opening ceremony without getting bored although the parade of nations was a bit long. The kids even watched a bit of it since it was interesting and involved lights. With the time difference, Hector checks the results on the computer but still watched the coverage which goes late until midnight. This week he had to stop since he needs sleep...so last night he went to bed around 9:30pm (he has a 16 hour day today) and I watched the exciting mens gymnastics. The USA team did very well considering their Olympic inexperience and managed to snag the bronze medal. Go USA!
Then the night before, we watched the mens swim relay that the French were the favorites. There were reports that the French were talking smack about the Americans but Team USA settled all that in the pool! USA beat them for the gold medal and set a new world record. So that was pretty sweet.
On another note, I finished more of the ceiling. Hector bought a pressure sprayer which made wetting the ceiling sooooo much easier which then makes scraping easier. I had to push the sofa around to do this but we got it done. Hector started on the sanding. Our plan is to begin painting this weekend. Yay.
