Paul has reached the 80% done point on his tool shed. I joke with him about how it’s where he keeps his tool. [insert Beavis and Butthead laugh here.] He’s been really happy working on the it because he’s finally building something with no time pressure (the baby is coming! the goats are coming! winter [...]

Here are the two kiddos done up, by Sophie, for the fairy ball. 
Yes, that is our 3 year old son dressed in the sequins, crown, and fairy wings. … He gladly participated in this, grand, sister-orchestrated event, and then moved on to a rousing afternoon of bulldozers and front loaders in the sandbox.

Our hot water heater has been broken since last Tuesday. UGH! Paul tried one thing, then the other, but no luck, and no hot water.

It’s in my socks.
Okay, these are not my thighs. I had a thigh double brought in for this blog entry.
But these are my socks! I got them from Sockdreams.com, the dealer for sock junkies everywhere. It all started, innocently enough, with the red and white pair in this picture. I had no idea how wearing [...]

I don’t know how it started. I think it had to do with reading The Twelve Dancing Princesses. But somewhere along the line, a few years ago, Sophie and I started calling the seven huge trees that live in front of a nearby church, the Seven Dancing Ladies. The idea is that every fall they [...]

I’m in a video mood, lately. So, in celebration of Obama Day, I’m putting up one of my favorites. I noticed, however, in going to get the link, that this little gem has gotten so popular there are legions of spin-offs! So, you might have already seen and enjoyed. If so, [...]
