Waffle bowls

We had some left over waffle cone and waffle bowls for ice cream. I have been trying to use them up.

Don't use the bowls for cereal, trust me, the mess is not worth the delicious snack.

Lawn

There is a fine line between watering your grass to keep it from dying, and drying it out so I don't have to mow it.

Since I don't have a lawn mower right now, my ideal lawn would be dead, yet green.

I think I will get a can of paint from the hardware store.

Cool cars around town

There have been some real cool cars here this weekend. I will post more pics as I get them.

Cool trailblazer!


All terrain rv. I wanted to look inside.


Not sure the year. I think 40'something.

Laundromat

Laundromat prices have gone WAY up since I was a student. At these prices I would have had to drop out. Looks like I will be wearing hospital scrubs for the rest of my time in Oregon.

Whitney's blunder

Few things can cause panic like a broken water line.

In our new house the fridge and water line were the wrong size. There was a cap on the valve and that should have been a BIG red flag.

But I am smart. Or so I thought.
I shut the valve off, and started to remove the cap. I noted the isolated drop of water. Soon only Victoria Falls can compare to the shear volume and pressure hitting me in the face, chest, and soaking the house.

The horror, the horror!
Water shooting across the room covering our still full cardboard moving boxes.

I ran out to the water intake valve and tried to shut it off. Either by sheer strength, adrenaline, or rust, I broke the valve at about 90% closed. This turned Victoria into Niagra.

Panic is not a strong enough word for what I felt as I watched all of my wife's possessions slowly sink into Lake Baker.

I mustered up, I somehow managed put the cap back on.

Well, plumbers charge more than doctors. But it is all now fixed. Everything is fine.

Course, I should have asked, maybe Bridget wanted an indoor pool.

Huh?

I saw this parked at the hospital in Houston. I hope that person got help!

Don't stare too long, you might have a seizure.

Houston, you have a problem

... It is too hot.

Ideas from my move:
1. If they can make an antibacterial or anti-odor for shoe insoles, why can't they make them for armpits of shirts.
2. Degree deodorant is not strong enough for a man.
3. Penske needs to remove the governors on their trucks.
4. Truck airconditioners need to be stronger for those traveling through Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.
5. There needs to be a good, strong, safe, sedative for kids while traveling (then for their parents afterward).
6. There should probably be a naturalization class for those of us expats moving to the Republic of Texas.

Almost to Texas

Eli and I have been having a ball. That is, when he is awake and rested. There hasn't been much if that going on this trip.
We are staying at the Hampton Inn. I have never stayed anywhere so nice. The bathroom floor (that Eli peed on) is marble. The bed and pillows are nicer than ours at home!
I feel well rested. Eli is still asleep. This hotel is the best thing between Grants Pass and Houston!
Here Is some travel fun.

Moving day and broken leg

We had Eli over at a friends house and he hurt his leg on the tramp. So rather than packing, we went to daddy's work and met lots of daddy's friends. One kept asking if thus was the same kid with stitches, then asked Eli if he was safe at home... Sad times .
We move today. Eli broke his leg. No pool this summer.

Technology

When I got my first Cell Phone I thought, "This is pretty neat, but who thinks they are so important that they need to be in constant contact with the world?"

When I saw that you could text messages on a phone I thought, "This is a phone, why go back to pager technology? Just talk!"

When I saw you could take Pictures with a phone I thought, "Why would you want to take a low quality picture on a 1" screen? What possible use is there?"

When I saw that you could check your email I thought, "Well this makes my once a week trip to the computer pointless."

When I saw you could get the Internet on a phone I thought, "Not only will I now drop calls, I can drop my news feeds as well."

When I got my iPhone, I thought, "How did I ever live without all this cool cool technology!"

I still haven't figured out Facebook and find it weird, but man that iPhone is cool.

What a day we live in when you can watch movies on your phone, surf the Internet on your TV, and make phone calls from your computer. If you wanted to, you could have a computer and never leave your room, and have all groceries, food, take-out delivered without a phone call.

Moving

So for those who don't know: we are moving this week.

We have been pulling out empty boxes and filling them with our stuff, and we have a lot of it. I took a cardboard box and cut the top off to use as padding for a picture frame. Eli and Dora went immediately to the newly mangled box and claimed it for their own. They are calling it their boat and having a good time.

Eli's birthday party was last week. I gave him some presents. He has spent more time in that box than he has with the toys I got him.

I know what he is getting next year!

Birthday

Bridget got me an SKS and let me sleep in for my birthday. Not sure which I value more with a newborn. I know which was more of a sacrifice for her!
I love my wife!

Having kids is for the birds

The birds have it right.
1. They lay eggs. The mom poops out an egg then has time to get crap done and get back in shape before the egg hatches.
2. If someone else touches their baby, they have nothing to do with it. Sort of a "you touched it you bought it" mentality. (Somedays I think this is great.) It would keep other people from getting your baby sick. They might think first before getting close, knowing that if they handle your baby, they have to stay up taking care of it.
3. They feed their young by vomiting into their mouths. How is that good? You can eat whatever you want and not get those calories! My kids would be eating krispy kreme, milkshakes, twinkies, (And dad could help feed.)
4. They sit on their young. I am tempted to do that sometimes. How nice would it be if your kids were screaming at night and all you had to do was roll over?

Then again how do you chase a 3 year old across a store if he can fly?
