Oh Boy
Fun opportunities abound. After a year I nearly have the bouldering cave complete. Installed a new recessed light, motion sensor light switch and ran wiring for the future hideout. And put up the tree. And it’s a heavy damn tree. Also covered the sandbox. Not worth a picture, but took an hour to clean out […]
Worked All Weekend
The holds came in. Completed and tested the monkey bars – at least the “first phase”. Then accidentally discovered what will be the “second phase” monkey bar, makes a nice exit/swing for the first. Or at least Lauren thinks so. And managed to get out to get our Christmas tree. Yes. It was cold. – […]
Functional Parity
Replaced the temporary (a year now) ladder to the tube slide with what it should have been all along. Obviously have to finish the top half of the wall too. I got the new inverted section mostly in. It’s supposed to have an inset at the bottom, which I haven’t gotten to yet. And no […]
Thanksgiving with Cousins
Went to Jen’s brother’s house for Thanksgiving. We had a blast. The Kids even more so. Didn’t leave until 11pm, which sucked considering it’s an hour and a half drive. Oh well. We made it. Everyone slept in. – b
Indoor Monkey Bars
Got this old ladder sometime over the summer. Decided it would make a perfect indoor monkey bar for the girls. Lots of changes coming over the next couple of days. Stay tuned. – b ps. we’ve decided the chalkboard is less prototype and more permanent, so it’s expanding too.
Ironic or Murphey’s Law
As I’m trying to sell the truck, it decides to stop shifting. Can’t sell a truck that won’t shift out of first gear. – b
GoGo Lu Bear
At Halloween the girls were constantly trying on each other costumes. Here’s a set of photos of Lauren wearing Abigail’s pink wig. I’ll have to post more of the various costume sessions. – b
20,000 Step Day
After a week of barely moving at all, sitting in meetings all day everyday, yesterday was quite a mover. The biggest deal of the day was moving the new (to us) table that Jen refinished from the garage to the kitchen. She bought it off of Craig’s List a year and a half ago. She […]
What Say?
Nearly every time you say something Lauren asks, “What say?” or “What’s that?”, or “What you say?”. At first Jen thought Lauren was having trouble hearing, so I’d put the question right back to her. “You tell me Lauren. What did I say?” and she’d repeat what was said. So it’s not her hearing. Likely […]
Dishwasher
Noticed earlier in the week things weren’t right with the dishwasher. Then I got a text from Jen on Thursday saying that it had just completely quite. I never liked it anyway and didn’t want to deal, so I said let’s get a new one. Did some quick research. Realized dishwashers are crazy expensive and […]
