Working on painting this old mirror that I picked up from my grandparent's cabin before it was sold.
I taped it off and just spray painted it a nice black.
I think it turned out pretty good for my mediocre skills!

February 13 - Day 228
We've got luscious greenery going on in the middle of winter.
It would be wonderful except it's in our window well, it's not letting in any light,
and it's attracting every possible spider in the area. Boo.
February 11 - Day 226
Damien received new scriptures from his Grandma and Grandpa Parkes today.
I think he might like them. :)
February 9 - Day 224
We're a month and a half into our basement project and the sawdust is piling up.
Damien was a sweetheart to get it under control for me.

February 8 - Day 223
So there was this one day that was bright and sunshiny and so we ran to the store really quick and didn't take our jackets and then when we got out of the store there was a full-on blizzard raging outside. Good times.
February 7 - Day 222
I have no idea what this picture is about,
except that Michael's arms are creepy.
February 6 - Day 221
We
were watching a little neighborhood girl for the day and Charlie
decided to do his best to impress her. He began with a classic
trash-can-lid-on-the-neck move. That didn't work very well so he added
in a little hula-hoop action.
When that was a no-go he decided to pull out all the stops.
January 31 - Day 215
Playing in the car is still one of his favorite things to do. Today he had fun cranking up the volume and then laughing when I would say, "It's too loud!" He'd turn it down for me, look at me with that grin of his, and then turn it all the way up again.
He has a talent for the tease.
January 28 - Day 212
Damien's FHE lesson on emergency preparedness. He drew a picture of what to do in a fire emergency. Then we practiced the steps and had to draw our own pictures of what to do.
January 26 - Day 210
It's fuzzy, but I wanted to post and remember this night. We were able to get tickets to BYU's production of "The Phantom of the Opera". The show was amazing and we had such a great time! Brigham Young University has some extremely talented students - we couldn't believe the quality of the stage, acting, singing, and music. Loved it!
January 25 - Day 209
They did their own cars for the pine wood derby.
Which is how it should be.
They had so much fun making them and have such a great sense of pride and
accomplishment being able to produce the imaginations of their minds.
Okay, I'm done with my mini-soapbox.
January 24 - Day 208
Trying to convince Charlie that it is not a fun game to lick someone. It's not going very well since I yelp and squeel when he tries to lick me and (being the boy that he is) that just spurred him on more.
January 22 - Day 206
A still shot of Michael's latest MRI.
The great news is that this one led to a final and definitive diagnosis:
Benign Multiple Sclerosis
We didn't even know that existed, but we're all doing happy jigs over here!

January 17 - Day 201
Oh, hi Mom. I'm just here in the oven drawer.
No, I won't be getting out, thank you.
Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!
Ummmm, do you think I could have some juice?
This is my neck.
January 16 - Day 200
They were fighting so I told them to sit on the couch and to stay there until they could think of something nice to say about the other person. They decided to have a glaring contest instead. (But they snapped out of it as soon as I took their picture. Ha! Maybe I should use that as a distraction technique - "Keep arguing! I'll go grab the camera to take your picture!!")
January 14 - Day 198
Oh no, he only wants the honey clusters.
None of that silly corn flake business, thank you very much.
January 13 - Day 197
Ten years old and still the most comfortable pair of slippers EVER.
Sometimes my feet just need a little pampering and softness.
Apparently in leopard print.
