So..I dumped all my photos off my phone..so no pics today ...but...

1. Crib building is FINISHED!! Now just need to finish and stain!!

2. Got my last few "treasures" out of my grandpa's storage unit before the rest went to sale (pics to come)

3. Finally had a quick chat with my BFF -- looking forward to more!

4. Headed on a quick trip to Wisconsin this weekend for a wedding -- it will be nice to miss the rush of all the students coming back!

5. My last few days in my 20's...with Cora's birthday coming up I keep forgetting mine is too!

happy friday!

Friday 5..er uh 4

Another Friday:

1. We have stain on the crib people, get excited!

2. Cora's birthday prep is going well -- we are doing a sunshine theme

 

4. What a great August day in KS...the whole week has been nice.

5. I got some new (to me) book cases in my office! Much better than the old gray metal ones!!

I go to college: know your audience

You know you live in a college town when this is the sign by the bananas....

Friday 5

Friday Five:

1.  Family Pedicures

2. FISHING!

3. Still workin' away on the crib -- Cora has decided to take matters into her own hands.

 

4. Cora has more teeth!! Seriously...two molars are coming in...and upper and a lower...that makes 10...and she's only 11 months. yeesh.

5. Lunch at So Long Saloon today where Cora enjoyed her first raspberry chipotle bean dip!

Have a great weekend!

I go to college: Did you know?

You can just mail a ball?

Things you leant while working with college students an recent grads.

Of course it probably cost more to mail the ball than to buy the ball... Perhaps another class in economics is in their future??

Friday 5

Happy Friday! Here we go:

1. Alex turned 1 last weekend! We got this cute shirt for him!  Can't believe Cora will be next!

2. I updated my fall calendars. Sigh. Ready or not here it comes!

3. We went to a church picnic where we had great fried chicken, I got to catch up with a good friend from high school and Cora helped her daddy lose at BINGO.

4. I FINALLY passed the candy crush level I have been stuck on for like a month. Yes, that is a sad, lame-o high for the week, but I was psyched.

5. NO CAVITIES! Dentist cleaning this week and a great report card!!

 

Have a great weekend!

hmmm interesting: nothing but good ideas

So in my family we have nothing but good ideas..seriously...we are like a family of people will really good ideas.

While in West Virginia my dad noticed a dead tree branch that needed to come down, over my grandpa's pavilion, ...only problem...it was too high to reach, even with a ladder.

Please note, in the video, my mom's complete lack of confidence in my dad's ability to throw the hammer by basically suggesting everyone else in the family would be more likely to achieve the goal...

also notice my super calm reaction as the hammer fell no where near me..

good idea #2 involved really long sticks, a ladder and tug-o-war style rope pulling.  But, thanks to our good ideas the branch did come down...so did one of the rope pullers (almost got that on camera, darn!)...I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, AIN'T NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN.....I digress
