My hosting company for this web site has been having network issues all day. I am relieved that it is up long enough right now to get this post in!

We just tried to do cleanup, organizing, and laundry today. Trevor took a really long nap too, so the madness was a little less.

I tried to do a little holiday craft with the boys this afternoon. It seemed to be going really well in the beginning. I had high hopes.

Then Brendan just wanted to sweep the table clear, snatch things from Trevor, and sit on the table. He was not happy when I told him ‘no’. Trevor was crying and yelling “No Bwendinzeeeyah!!” (Brendanzilla is what I call monster B that stomps through and crashes everything, especially geotrax setups)

Mr. Attitude does not want craft time

One of these things is not like the others

I think Brendan looks so cute in his pajama pants. I am trying to get a video of his new dance moves, but he has not been cooperative.

I will post more pictures of this project later, I am nervous about the site going down while I am typing!
Bill’s secret steel work has been a gate for our front patio. Years ago when we built the wall and sitting area, we wanted to put up some ornamental ironwork and a gate in the archway. We hoped we would spend cool evenings outside and that the dogs could come out with us.
Now Eins REALLY enjoys being able to come out. The boys can play and I can worry less about them taking off down the driveway. 🙂

Bill did a fabulous job exactly recreating the concept that I sketched for him. We had limitations on design because it had to be safe for toddlers – no climbing opportunities and no openings for heads to get stuck!

We found these little solar lights that will be approx every two feet down the whole wall.
