Kaj-nana-gins

So when we were putting up the greenhouse Kaj started taking out screw guns and drilling his own holes. I really didn't think that he would be able to do that but sure enough he has it all figured out. So he now has his own screw gun from his Dad and has his own wood that he can drill holes in. He also pounds nails quite a bit but he finally pounded one all the way in.

Last night he was taking a bath and he turned the water on. Not a big deal. He was messing around with knobs and buttons and turned on a very cold shower. I heard it come on said to Skinner I wonder how he is liking that. Then the cry came. I wish I would have brought my camera because he was totally freaked out by the water coming down on him. He could hardly continue crying. Then he had to keep telling me all about it. And that only Mommies and Daddies take showers and he was not going to pull that button again!

Getting as much as we can done

This was a busy weekend. Be drove to just south of Virginia Wednesday night to pick up Brandi and then spent the night in Duluth. Thursday we shopped and did eye appointments and then back home by 8 Thursday night. Work on Friday and then Saturday and Sunday between visits we tried to put up the new greenhouse. Yes we did this last fall however Skinner seemed to be under the impression that there would not be dirt and water everywhere in there in the spring. Since he put in a cement floor and it is attached to the house he just can't handle it. So after he bleached it out this summer I was in need of another space because "this is not happening again". So I got a bigger greenhouse and it is going up next to the shop. I think it will work out alright. So we started putting it up Saturday morning and that is when everyone in the world all of the sudden decided to call or stop by. A test of patience. So between Saturday and Sunday we got the walls up. Unless Skinner gets some time this week we are not going to be able to put the roof on until next weekend as it gets dark here before I am done with work. It will all get done eventually.

Trick or Treat

As Kaj and I were carving pumpkins I didn't realize that he was taking the cutouts and "feeding the mouse" When I looked up this is what I saw. What a thoughtful boy!
We carved all the pumpkins that we grew, other than the ones that went bad before Halloween got here.

My little "cowboy" as he called it. He totally got the hang of the getting candy in his bucket.
