The Handyman Can

Thanks to my handyman, I no longer have to look at that UFO light thingy:

Way to go handyman. We found that table on Craigslist. I am going to paint it white. I can't wait.

Pumpkins anyone?

Grant says: "Can I interest you in a pumpkin?"
Collin says: "I want YOU to go get a pumpkin!"

Our House

Just got the keys today. Yeah!

The boys' latest new word:

Choo choo!

Second hand goodness

Have you checked out Kijiji? It's like Craigslist only pretty.

Pat it and roll it ...

Did you know making play dough is super easy and cheap? Plus, when you make your own play dough, you know what your children are eating.
Ok, I guess that's still kinda gross, but fun too.

In medium saucepan combine:
1 Cup flour
1/4 Cup salt
2 T. cream of tarter

In separate bowl combine:
1 Cup water
2 tsp. food coloring
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil

Add to flour mixture

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until dough forms a ball. (I had to knead it afterward to mix the food coloring.) Store at room temperature in a plastic bag or air tight container.

Oh hello there.

I know you haven't seen much of of us lately. We've been busy enjoying every last part of summer. Here's what you've missed:

Picking blueberries.
Playing cars.

Camping.


Attending the Wyndham Championship.
Watching John Daly golf in black and red tiger striped pants made me realize golfers are more fun than I thought.

We are planning on a busy fall that may include BUYING OUR FIRST HOUSE! But I think buying a house is like getting married. Nothing's final until you've said "I do". So you'll have to stay tuned to find out what happens.
