Finished box for one their classes.

Tanner iced bout 6 and he said he had enough... lol

Drew and I did the rest. I did the white and Drew did most the green.

How you were born! :) too cute

A little boy goes to his father and ask "Daddy how was I born"?


The father answers "Well, son, one day you will need to find out anyway."

Your mom and I first got together in a Chatroom on Yahoo. Then I set up a date

via Email and we met at a Cyber-Cafe. We sneaked into a secluded room, and

Googled each other. There you mother agreed to a Download from my Hard Drive.

As soon as I was ready to Download, we discovered that neither one of us had used

a Firewall, and since it was to late to hit the Delete Button, nine monthes later a lil

Pop-up appeared that said....

YOU'VE GOT MALE!

Isn't that the cutest explanation? lol

Ive been busy making 5 batches fudge (3 pb and 2 choc) and double batch cut-out Christmas sugar cookies. Waiting for boys to get home to ice them tonight. They are for their classroom parties Wednesday.

She actually jumped in the box twice.
Here is Tanner taking her out after the 2nd time of jumping in

My Van is Like New Again!

My van is like new again!!! Yea

This our van torn apart to replace the head gaskets.
Holy Cow....Scott spent like 3 hours lastnight tearing it down and put it back together today for almost 7 hours, but he also tuned it up - plugs, wires, pcv valve, fuel filter, air filter, oil change and replaced sway bar links.
I went down around 11 and helped him do the sway bar links and then went and got our lunches.
The boys were at the library for the Saturday... Dual Card Club, for Yu-gi-oh and Magic The Gathering cards. They meet every Saturday at library from 11-2.

Cylinder heads and plenium off van
Block under the heads

Early Christmas

I ordered new curtains and 2 different beds in a bag for our bedroom, for my Christmas. There I go again thinking of the house again .....instead of me! lol

This is the before pic

My new blue curtains

My new bedspread, and skirt and I also put the pillow covers on our night stands.

closeup of the pattern & colors...I love the colors - browns & blues together.

Like the ole sayings.....

Like the ole saying goes...... A painter's house needs painted and a MECHANIC'S car needs worked on!!

This is so true right now. :(

My van needs the head gasket replaced - starting to leak, and we dont want to get caught broke down with it being so cold out, and while we have it tore down we are going to tune it up - easier to get to the back plugs and also change the sway bar links - those Caravans are known for head gaskets leaking and sway bar links going bad!!
Of course... had to be all right now with cold weather and Christmas time.
What a Bummer!!!!!!
Thank God, we have most of our Christmas bought.

So you know what we will be doing this weekend!
