Lazy Children Beware

My older kiddos are both now fluent readers, which provides a whole new perspective on the grown-up world.  Overheard from the back seat of my car this weekend:

S, age 6:  "Do you think that's REAL?"
B, age 9:  ".....no.  Nobody would do that."

I looked out the window to see what they were so impressed by, and saw the following yard sign:

"FREE LAZY BOY".

Demolition Derby

For those who follow us more in blog world than in the actual world, you may not yet be aware that we have given in to a longstanding addiction and bought a new, old, house.  A whole house renovation is underway, one section at a time.  Eventually we hope to make something about the house BETTER, but step one is demolition.  Here's a slideshow of our accomplishments in the first couple of weeks of ownership:

Wild Things

What have we been doing around here for the past 3 months?

Celebrating P's birthday of course...

Maybe we did a few other things in that time...Christmas, welcoming in 2013, buying a house (more on that coming soon)...but none more important than celebrating our little guy's first year.

A few belated pictures of the big day, complete with first chocolate cake.  The orange sign may not be legible in the photo, but it was a handmade gift for P by his brothers. I swear Mom was not involved. It reads:

THIS IS THE BIRTHDAY BOY.  HE IS NOT ANY OF THE WILD THINGS.

Give him another year, boys.  Give him another year.
