Just Another Day Off Nothing
Now you can find us
days off with the kids are the best days
Yuula is fostering an unhealthy obsession with the hammock
Laura cuts my hair in the yard
and Yuula has taken up the ribbon dancer

Nobody's Happy In A Poodle Skirt And A Sweater Set
I caught the kids watching Pleasantville today. I think it's giving them false hopes... that Reese Witherspoon is a good actress.
My kids will always be snappy/slightly-inappropriate dressers

Like I'm Not Made Of Stone
song of the day
not my favorite song off her new album, but I have a headachs so, ....
Better Medicines
I've been feeling like crap since last week. We've all had some sort of cough going on. But I started feeling much better today and even agreed to a little time on the hammock.
Now I feel even better.

Water Where Water Don't Belong
Just two days into the new roof, and we get tested. And we failed. Pretty good leak, that seemed to get less as the day(s) went on, but a leak is a leak all the same.
It was a pretty bad storm. Hail and thunder sent the girl into our room for bed, but no matter because we lost all power a few minutes later.
I went out to survey the damage but did not expect this...
Tree right thru the back window
Luckily the trees fell right in between the wood shed, tool shed and Mambo's hutch to hit the only thing we have insured, so.... silver linings.
With water in the hose and water in the car, we should just move out onto the lawn.

I Can Pee Out A Window
The second day of construction went much slower than the first, but an end was in sight, and we were all pretty exhausted from the day before. But we started out with a great view from the bathroom.
Yuula got all dressed up to get dirty in the woods
I dunno what's going on here, but apparently Grandma lost a bet
All closed in, and just barely in time for some rains. And it was pointed out to me by numerous members of our male visitors, I can now pee out the window.

No More Ducking To The Toilet
The day had come, about a year in the making, of the first real construction on the upstairs bathroom, which is going to be great when it's all said and done, but we're just getting started so, give us some time....
Thanks Ed. Even tho I'd love to see what we would've come up with without your professional guidance, I'm glad we didn't
peek-a-bob
this was my highlight of the day
framing started
both girls had boogers
I actually got up on a ladder and swung a hammer, and pretty effectively
thanks Dad

Victoria Buttermilk Sleeps Thru Two
Little party at the Buttermilk's for Victoria's 2nd birthday. Yuula was excited to get all dressed up. We went without Mommy, and I could've used the drinking buddy. Plus she would've enjoyed that spread.
The Butermilk's had the place ready for kids and Yuula had a blast. She stayed there til about 10:30pm., outlasting some of the adults.
Girls gathered around a video game.
Aesop had some admirers
But he was happy to head home to see the g'rents

Defeating My Own Self

Too Forward Too Fast
song of the day
I like Chairlift's last album very much and this is a nice insight into half of it
Early Bird Gets The Wood
I was outside at 5:30 this morning tearing apart that damn tool shed. I'd had enough. And now it is beautiful. Does it seem like I have to do this every year? Winter is unkind to our overstock.
But i went all out this time, even sorting out the boxes of random nails/screws I've accumulated for 5 years. Yuula helped. Kinda.
In the middle of the day Nohito insisted on showing me where she was hiding her kittens. Three. Identical. Cute of course. Let the bidding begin.
Then as rain came out of nowhere as I was trying to work on the new grape arbor, we decided to unload stuff at the storage unit and on the way back we found 2 twelve foot 6x6 beams ditched in a heap. So what if we couldn't close the back hatch all the way home. That's almost $100 worth of wood.

Far Upstate Where I Can Hear
song of the day
I like his last album better but... his chords are still nice
Stacked And Wrapped
What's this? It's our new bathing quarters. It's what we'll use to reshape our bathroom and create a whole new way of life, no doubt. Let's hope it survives the coming flood.
