Just can't win

I had the gates closed and Ben was upstairs in bed. Ben has figured out how to get the right leverage to yank the top gate open, and he cam down for more milk. When he got to the bottom gate, he tried to go under it. He was able to get his body through, but got his head stuck. I got him more milk and he went back up, but Julie saw an open gate and went to follow him up. So I guess we can neither have the gate open nor closed, someone will find a way to get into trouble.

Little Handy Man

Ben loves tools and he loves to help. He was helping me today. He did pretty good with the hammer.

Stanley Cup in Buffalo?


I forgot that Patrick Kane was taking the Stanley Cup around town today. I was able to take this photo from our office area. If only I had a better camera with me...

The Kid Cave

We have been slowly getting the basement organized. The big room in front we were leaving for a kid play room. There is still a lot left to do, but it is nice to be able to have the kids watch a movie and play while doing the laundry. It even has a train and Tom's foosball table. The projector is getting old but is still good enough.

After

They were here for 10 hours. We now have a new furnace and central air. They had a hammer drill going for several hours this morning while Lisa had the kids at the park. They still have to come back to run the feed for the back room and run the air return from the upstairs. Now we need to play with the thermostat to figure out the best temp.

Can you say Oreo

Before

I never noticed the sticker with some one signing that service was done in '86 and '88 until last night. I could not find online the age based off the serial number, but the company was bought out in 1982. I asked the guy, getting ready to pull it out, this morning how old it was, and he estimated it to have been put in around 1975 or 1976. 34 or 35 years old!

Ben taking Photos

Ben had the camera and was running around taking photos. Here are some of the more interesting ones.





Fun for Everyone


I got this out for Julie, and everyone gathered around to play with it. At least Julie had fun watching.
