Camping and Things...

Last weekend Daddy told The Kid they were going to go 'camping'.  In the backyard.  (In an effort to acclimate the kids to camping in the future).  And apparently they weren't the only ones excited about it.

Bandwagon

Everywhere I turn today every one is posting pictures of '1st day of school' for all their kids.  So here's my contribution.  Not quite as well staged as others but here you go.  The Kid's 1st day of school.

He's now 4 days a week and it's hard to say who is more excited, him or Mommy.  He got up early this morning getting his school snack ready and his backpack.  He wore it from 10 in the morning until it was time to leave.  Such an excited kid.

Daddy, Mommy and Little Lady all went to drop The Kid off.  Little Lady didn't want to leave the classroom.  In fact, Daddy had to escort a reluctant, not-so-lady-like Lady out of the classroom.

Happy New School Year!

Happy 4th of July and Other Things....

Happy Independence Day!! Or Weekend.  We like to drag it out as long as we can.  Here it is in pictures...

The Getty and Other Things

I took the kids to the Getty a last week.  June 25th.  I can't believe I braved it.  I was in the mood for a drive and the kids were happy.  

Last Couple Weeks

We got rain!  And the fact that this is post-able news is really really sad.  But that's how much getting rain is a big deal...since there is none.  But the kids were enjoying themselves.  It was so warm out while it rained I didn't care the kids were half naked.

The Handyman

I'm pretty sure there is nothing sexier than a man who can build stuff.  

Backyard, Done! Mostly...

Here it is!  After over two years of looking at dirt, we have GRASS!!  Of course we still can't walk on it for another month, but I'm not complaining!

Hi! Chair.

**Just saw this in my Draft box and am not sure why I never posted it.  Here it is...kinda late.  Enjoy**

This is to illustrate just how long it can take me to get a project done.  I purchased this highchair at a garage sale ($25+ a VHS of Scarlet Pimpernel thrown in) when I was still pregnant with The Kid.  (That would be 4, years ago.  Ish.)

Easter 2015

Hello there!  Remember us?!  I'd like to say we've been busy.  We have.  But not so busy I couldn't update the blog.  I'm lazy I guess.  But I thought this Easter holiday was a good time to re-start.
