Report card day :)

Today is report card day here. The monkey, my little whiz kid got all A's, and one 88. Great job for him, he's so smart. The midget, in all her kindergarten smartness got all E's and S's. That is like all A's in the world of a 6 yr old.
They have been smothered with praise and kisses. Now they want to know what else they get...
So much for doing it for the knowledge alone.

Mr. Cool

The monkey's hair has been an issue for a while now. It has been getting long and scraggly. What i feared most was the fact that he thinks a bowl haircut is cool. Why??? It is so not the right hair for him. Luckily his new wanting to be a pilot/astronaut/physicist has led him to want spiky hair. Hallelujah, whatever works!
So, we went to get a haircut. Our local barber, Mr. Jim, who has dead animals on the wall, might not do the "cool spikes" he feared. Plus, the midget is a little afraid of all the dead animals around. So we went to snip-its. Wow, have haircuts changed. you sit in a chair, play video games, get pampered, cookies, treats from a huge machine, toys. it's crazy! Midget got a mini-mani :) she is all over that, and dying to go back.
So without further ado, here is the new do:)

wii music

I am putting this here for the midget. she wants matercheif to see her playing wii music. that is her person on the screen playing a concert. She loves this game, and plays it as long as i will let her. she can play a harp on there, and have an orchestra play with her. It's a neat game, and alot easier for her age than guitar hero.

Getting some work done..

Here are the pics of the dining room after i painted it...Don't comment on the edges, i don't paint straight, but it goes iwth the crooked sheet rock.


So, rather than sitting around i decided i would get some work done around here. We had left over paint from getting the rest of the house painted. I painted the dining room, then i still had some left and thought there is only one room left downstairs to paint. It was the bathroom. I had wanted to change that awful light out. So i googled it, and there it is. How to hang a light fixture. It said it wasn't that hard. If our sheet rock guys weren't so bad it wouldn't have been. They had pushed the box in so far the new fixture didn't sit right. I couldn't tighten the screws. So after a few hours it hit me, cardboard. I took a piece folded it up and it worked. So there it is, the light i installed!!

Let me say too, that the mirror is off. it needs to be lower but again, our sheet rock guys. It is stuck to the wall. The little screws, when i undid them all, were not even holding it up. I couldn't even pry the mirror off with a screwdriver using all my strength. So if that ever comes off, so i alot of the wall. Great isn't it?

FLEO 6 - Fleo gets the Internet working!

Ok, finally I got the Internet, and it works half way decently. So to catch up on some pictures...

So, Fleo got to where he got, and he loves the mountain view. So nice and relaxing.
Even walking to breakfast, the mountains are beautiful!
And now that the monkey and midget sent 'masterChief' some decorations for 'the Hooch', well, FLEO feels down right stylin'. Notice the Christmas lights!


well, now that FLEO's got this channel going, look for more to come. The Bazaar is today. Lots of neat little goodies and trinkets.
