The Charge of the Light(ing) Brigade







Well, yesterday was the day and thank heavens for Rob and Chris! E has been permanently banned from tall ladders and high places. Not only does he have a history of falling off of ladders but his sense of balance is precarious at best. This year, the boys came to our rescue and saved us probably tons in hospital bills. What we did not know is that Rob has a fear of heights but neglected to tell us until he was dressing the top peak of the house. Poor fella, but he kept on working and between E's direction (see, didn't keep him off the ladder completely), the job was done. Kristen and Just Jack the Cat supervised as you can see.

Today we are assembling the new fire pit. It resembles a coffee table and we've already moved the table that goes with our outdoor set to make room for it. Tonight would be a great time to test it out as the temps have been a bit chilly here in Paradise.

We are also heading over to the kids house to help them with their lights. Chris is off work along with Rob. Kristen will be handling the little second graders at her school and I have promised her one day on her TG break to help her organize her closet office and try to lasso the papers that are threatening to overtake her life.

Kip and I are making plans to scrap one day at Ruban Rouge as Lisa is having open crops in the crop room the whole week before TG.

Hope your day is a good one!
