Sam is 14!

Zan — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 03:25:20 +0000

And Minecraft crazy, so I made him a Minecraft cake!

I ’specially like how well the chocolate chip hooves turned out on the sheep.

And it got a “Best birthday cake ever!” from the kids, so I’m happy.

Cult of Bread Almighty.

Slices of bread lying under the kitchen table: “…”

Sam, picking them up mournfully: “They don’t look too dirty, can’t we still eat them?”

Me: “They’ve been on the floor since you made your lunch LAST NIGHT. That’s just a *bit* too far past the two-second rule.”

Sam: “We could wash them.”

Me: “If you wash dirty bread, you don’t get clean bread, you get soggy dirt on soggy bread.”

Sam: “Can we put them on the altar?”

Me: “You offer the best of what you have on the altar, not bread that’s been on the floor all night.”

Sam: “They could have their own altar.”

Slices of bread: “Bow down, insignificant humans!”

Garden Elves!

My awesome friends Julia and Stu, the Garden Elves, put in a fab new garden box for me down on the curbside strip.

So excited! So healing to get my hands back in the rich, dark earth and plant pretty baby plants again! Sam got this excellent picture of me watering with sunlight.

Right after he went ninjawacky with the mallet. Mwahahaha!

Watch out neighborhood!

Many grateful hugs to the garden elves for breaking sod for me and creating such a lovely garden for us.

I love it when the autumn temperatures drop and the trees blaze!

More pics of flametrees(and bagelly silliness) on flickr.

Happy fall!!!

Steam cleaning-woohooooo!

Zan — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 22:24:23 +0000

I must admit, I do love my new White Wave steam cleaner, it’s been one of the benefits(and a mighty weapon) in my battle against the bugs.

Sam loves it too(nothing like a tool that looks like a ray gun and shoots tons of steam to get my boy to help clean).

More steamy(literally) pics here.

Btw, we are out of the House of Doom! YAY!!

Still have a tent full of bagged stuff to freeze, but it sure feels good to be outta there!

Yay shiny clean car!

BOXES!!!

Zan — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 02:21:43 +0000

Yes, we’re moving. This week. Yay!

Whistlepig!

Zan — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 03:24:07 +0000

My son’s school had a rockin’ fundraiser festival today-Whistlepig!

I painted cuffs on the fairgoers:

So much fun! And they kept me busy too, lining up for cuffs-I barely had time to sneak off and dancedancedance to the awesome tunes of 17th Chapter!

Pics.

Pole-vaulting mayhem!

Zan — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 04:02:30 +0000

Sam and I go for a scramble in the mucky gulches down at Matthew’s Beach Park and then find the perfect pole-vaulting stick!

Obviously, mayhem ensues.

Flickr’d pics here.

WOOHOOO! New camera!!

Zan — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 04:17:03 +0000

Sam and I go wiggy over our new cameraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-new to us anyway. Bought it used, a Canon PowerShot A650 IS.. Great fun so far, though I’m definitely going to need to buy a new memory card-this one only takes 5 pictures at a time! Sheesh.

*happy new camera dance!*

Sam is eleven!!!!!!!!!!!

Zan — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 05:43:36 +0000

We had an awesome dinner party at Cafe Vios to celebrate his eleveniness!

Sam attempts to eat the cake in one fell gulp.

More pics here. And, here’s Rita’s flickr set, including my favorite shot:

Aw.
