Sleep over

Finally gave up on home remedies for the fleas and had a pro come spray the place. After three rounds of foggers and no improvement, it was time to pay somebody.
The benefit was that we got a chance to
Clear out some junk.

That thing that time

Just got back from Toy Story 3. We all enjoyed it a lot. We've been having a nice time in Colorado. It's good to know we can take vacations together without going nuts. Switching hotels was a great help. It's been nice to spend time with family.

Is this thing on?

It's been awhile since my last post. We're in Colorado for Kees and Stephanie's wedding. I ended up in a hotel that is far from the actual wedding site. Not a bad place to stay, but the drive during rush hour was a real killer yesterday. Today is the wedding, then we have an extra day to putz around in Denver. Kids are holding up pretty well.

Where have all the tulips gone?

I'm guessing 'Tulip Time' is kind of barren this year.  All the tulips bloomed so early.
We went to Korbin's school program yesterday.  It was neat to see him and all his classmates up on stage singing patriotic American standards.  Asher was thrilled with the singing as well.
Tonight us haircut night.  Looking forward to a clean neck.  Simple pleasures.
Planning a trip to Chicago next weekend for Korbin's birthday and his cousin,  Ezra's first birthday as well. Should be a hoot.

Cool, wet day. Dawn saw slugs on the sidewalk this morning.  I helped clean a very dirty house yesterday. I'm glad my own house is just cluttered rather than septic.
There is still much to clean and fix at the house,  but we got a chunk of it. Good friends are priceless.  

Guit'r done

It's hard learning to play a song from a cd.  I'm taking it real slow.  My ears just don't pick up the details fast enough.  I was impressed with my guitar teacher in college. Chris Tucker I think it was.  He'd tell me to bring in any cd I wanted to learn,  then he'd put it on and whip out the Money solo from Dark Side of the Moon in just a few listens.  I'm not nearly that good.  Gotta love Garage Band for helping me chop it up,  though.
