Birthday Girl

This is one smart birthday girl . . . always check out the sack to make sure you didn't miss anything!

Monkey Time

Mimi, catch that crazy monkey, he's outta control!

Demolition Progress?

In addition to the laundry/storage area we're also tearing out the ceiling in the back bathroom. I thinking the saw in the sink is a nice decorative touch :)

Website Wednesday - Starts With A Bang

Today's website is Ryan's choice. Click HERE to read about this science blog from Ethan Siegel. "Ethan fell in love with learning about how and why the Universe works the way it does at a very young age, and has spent his entire adult life pursuing that end." The posting titled "How to Launch a Space Shuttle in 4 Minutes" is pretty interesting and has plenty of photos and a video. Enjoy!

Climb On

I haven't been to a climbing gym in years. I used to go and just watch Ryan as he dominated the 5.13s. Ryan, on the other hand, has a membership to the local gym and tries to go weekly. I've been with him outside but have gotten pretty nervous and the whole height thing makes me sweat just thinking about it. Tonight I joined him and actually had a good time. It was my first time climbing indoors and definitely had more confidence than before. Watch out, Lynn Hill here I come (okay, not really).

The Kid Has Style

You never know who you're going to see when you're mowing so you might as well look as cool as possible. Mission accomplished.

Laundry Room

Our laundry/storage room was starting to wear me out. It's just so unorganized and unfinished, I decided to tackle it today. First, I started painting the wall on the right (can't see it from this view). Then I realized it would be best to clear out the room before I did anything else. Little did I know, this opened a big can of worms. Now, we're caulking the window seals, tearing down the ceiling, re-wiring, moving the light fixtures, adding new dry wall, painting, organizing and decorating.
