Last night was ridiculous. Around 2am, the dog in the house behind us started barking. It was a single loud bark about every 15 seconds and it went on for 20-30 minutes. When we couldn’t stand it anymore, Bill got up and decided to try to hang the bark box. It is a little tool that emits a sound only dogs can hear and it does it any time it detects a bark. It works on some dogs.
So here is Bill in the middle of the night trying to wire this thing in to the tree when suddenly the tick-tick-tick of the sprinkler system starts. He had to make a dive out of the lawn to avoid getting blasted. How’s that for timing? The dog must have been let in, because it finally stopped barking – right as Trevor woke up crying.

It was cookie day today. Brendan had a good therapy appointment this morning while Trevor and I got the cookies through the oven. They came out beautifully.

I didn’t have to convince Trevor to try one

Even Brendan thought they looked good

He licked it!

Of course, this is the kid that licks his own feet

Yesterday, Bill took Trevor to Sears and they shopped in tools and bought some new wrenches. This morning, Trevor woke up asking to go to the tool store. He asked at least five times throughout the morning. So they went back to a different Sears tonight and browsed lawnmowers, vacuums, and wrenches, and then they did a few laps around the mall.
