random #1

Isn't life random with Iowa weather, kids and life in general?

 

Well, so are my pictures this time. 

 

One of these days I might start telling stories again instead of only posting pictures. 

 

 

 

Some kind of deep thoughts going on here...

Harlie and I have a found a passion for blowing bubbles and showing them to each other.

 

 

 

At least once a year I take the kids across the street to fly kites. 

For now, Wendell loves it!

This is a buried treasure in my life.  The green pea... I got from my brother, from my grandpa.. and is the BEST winter coat ever.  I wore this puppy on campus because it was is awesome.  Too bad I'd forgotten about it this year until a friend asked me about it... I could have really used it!

More random kite flying.

Is this what I look like to my kids most day?  Really. so grumpy looking...  humff.. what kind of statement am I making without realizing it?

Two pea's in a pod.

 

 

 

This is wild man Phil with the head lamp on.. probably from our $500 adventure with electrical issues.  Someone (who shall not be named) tripped on a wire (off a kids tent) and it landed just perfectly on a night light plug that was loose on the outlet yet plugged in.  Metal wire hit plug and boom.. knocked half the electricity out of our house.  It took 5 electricians but the last two did the job (they were a team).   As they searched and searched and found the broken connection in our basement behind our shower.  Long story short.. we finally got it fixed.  All is safe and sound here.

More of the green pea.

More to come!
