anyway, last weekend went to the botanical gardens.. quite a long drive but pleasant in the long end.
Just wish my A/c unit worked, because it was pretty hot! D:

Some photos:

Is it a nice red brick or an orange-red brick? I wouldn't paint a dark red brick house.

I’m not home so can’t take a photo.. but here’s a photo from the flood a few months ago.. it’s dark out, not sure if you can see the brick well here. It’s red, but there’s some different tones in the brick, not an even pretty red.

So for those who’ve read my trip reports, you already know that T has been doing trendy hair styles from toddlerhood on.. then, he got a buzz this summer and a few tears were shed, by me.

For the past month he’s looked like a fuzz ball..

“Before”

“After”.
T is back!!! Still a long way to grow out, but fuzz head-GONE!
He has a bald fade right now, hard to tell in this photo though. Back to daily hair product use

My ds always has a slight mop top. I don't prefer the buzz look. He also doesn't like super short hair. But he is super finicky about everything. He would never put product in his hair. The hair dresser always asks and it is always a no.

MOAR!!

These guys cuddling together preparing for morphing.

The last picture grossed me out at first and then I realized they are some sort of caterpillar.

Ha ha! Hopefully your garage is heated, mine is not, so the 2 rooms above the garage are always cold in the winter. T’s playroom is one of them, I have a space heater in there during the cold months.

T had been using product since age 3, so I don’t think he knows any differently.. however, he said it was his favorite thing about his buzz cut.. 3 things actually- No product. Immediately dry hair after washing. No hair in his eyes when playing sports.

Never heard of this film.

It’s a good one!

Nope the garage isn't heated. Dh wants to get an insulation kit for the doors. Our bedroom is above the garage. We put really think carpet padding and wall to wall carpet in our bedroom. It helps to keep it warm.

I have seen a lot of her movies but for the life of me I can’t remember this one. I will check it out sometime. Thanks for the suggestion!

Just a note: when you do watch it, I would recommend early to mid evening (aka not pitch black outside). That way it’s not last-thing at night...

Nice! It really does take amazing photos, I’m sure the operator helps too!

Its a PRO camera, it doesnt take photos by itself
You have to configure almost everything.

Heehee I will remember that.

Glad I wasn’t the only one! It was creepy!! Gave me shivers!

Forgot to tag @The Mom

My kid is weird, he makes his bed first thing.. can’t stand if you move something in his room, hates when his cousins make a mess in there...all great right, so why weird?

..Because he’ll leave toys and sports equipment all over the rest of the house!

My guys keep their junk in their rooms but leave a trail of crumbs everywhere I've already vacuumed 3 times today

 

[Figgy1]

You need a Go Fund Me page started for that?

A couple hundred more square feet, a Hobart mixer and an extra dishwasher would be nice

An insulation kit for the doors and insulating the ceiling of the garage will do wonders. Smart man

The nice thing about cooking a couple of what I call batches of food this week is I'm going to be able to watch Ratatouille. Without having to stop and do anything else. ok maybe stop a few times but not every 2 minutes
