Bill does load of laundry; holds press conference

In an attempt to help out while Jennie is away, Bill does a load of laundry.

Following this Bill frantically buys new clothes online to replace the ones he ruined before Jen comes home tomorrow night.

At least mow the lawn....

I drove past the house that Randy built for me years ago. It's been totally neglected.

Hated to see it in that condition.

A weak Monday post

Posting this to show Jen I took out the trash while she is away.

I'm boring without Jen home.

Mike inspires everyone

Mike teaches Bill "The Crane"

Mike reenacts Rocky while Bill hums "Gonna Fly Now".

I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

Joey, Mike and I shot a pistol for the first times in our lives. We went to a sketchy little place in Salisbury run by two guys who the movie Deliverance was based on. It was louder and more intimidating than I expected. Joey outshot Mike and I.

The return of THE DUDE

Mike dropped in for a bonus weekend. Good day: Buffalo Chicken Wrap for lunch, Golf at the worst course in the U.S., takeout dinner on the new deck while listening to Rick Springfield.

Jennie flew off to a work event this morning. She shouldn't have left three Dudes alone (Joey is here too).

Cause and Effect

100 cans of soda later, Kieran wigs out...

Hit the road, Christin!

Poor Chi had a bad bike accident today resulting in two sets of stitches and many pieces of gravel pulled out of her skin. But even a trip to the hospital won't get in the way of Middlemarch night at Denise's....and she even brought cookies!

We own you, Squirrels!

We've invested a bunch of money in our house over the years, but the best addition we made was the $6 wrought iron hanger that i put the bird feeders on and hung outside our bedroom. The damn squirrels have been foiled and we wake up to the sound of chickadees fluttering outside our bedroom window.

Law Breaker

Watch for Jen on the next America's Most Wanted...for pinching the neighbor's peonies. But look at them - it was worth it!!

Girlie Man

We've had this print for years but have never figured out if this scary kid is a boy or a girl.
