Yet Another Toolbox



How many tool boxes can we accumulate under one roof?  Well, we added one more today.  I have bought all my electrical tools and am just waiting for my digital voltmeter to come in the mail.  We start building circuits and pulling wire on Monday, and I am very excited.  I hope I don't make a total fool out of myself because I am good at the books but we will see if I can apply all the knowledge I have built up over the past 4 months.

Chilly Goodness



I bought Solon some "healthy" popsicles.  They don't have sugar and are basically just frozen fruit on a stick.  He loves them.  And gets one at the end of the day if he behaves.

Hello!



We finally are up and running! 

Fun At The Y

We hit the YMCA both Saturday and Sunday, so Solon got a chance to go swimming and play basketball. 

On a side note, one of the counselors at the daycare told me that Solon was so funny and that there was no doubt he was going to be mr. popular in school because he loves to talk.  All I could think was Mini-Jay.

A List of Chores

Jay and I had one of the most productive weekends in years.  We tackled lots of things on our to-do list.  Hanging our bicycles on the screened porch, installing shelves in our broom closet, getting rid of paint cans and cleaning our laundry room, bagging limbs/sawdust, planting shrubs, mowing 2 yards...etc.  One thing that I have needed to do was consolidate all my tools.  I had all my stuff scattered amongst all our closets and cabinets.  So in this process, I had to tackle my dad's toolbox.  I opened it up and had to laugh because I saw all these random things and bottles of stuff that had to be 30 years old.   His mason jars filled with nails.  All his tools.  I found one of the scrapers I remember him using on our house on Northside.  It was nice thinking about him and all the thousands of projects I watched him undertake.

 Anyway, I threw out the junk and now have to find a way to get the massive amount of rust off his tools.  Any suggestions?

A Taste



I am going to try my hand at growing our own herbs.  I picked up some rosemary, cilantro and thyme to start off with.  As well, as a couple of plants for a few of my empty pots.
