Pictures For You

Inspiration Gate:

Old (Sad and Also Non Working In Any Way) Gate:

New Gate:

P. S. I still have to stain it.  Hopefully it won’t always be so…pink.

Lumbering

I’m starting to realize that pointless and elaborate decorating schemes aside, the order in which we’ll tackle house projects will simply be the order in which things break.
In other news, Mr. E spent his day off working on our new gate.
He spent about fourteen years driving back and forth to Home Depot and explaining to [...]

Things Are Looking Up

Run On and On

Don’t you love those days when your two year old starts rubbing his eyes and whining at 10 am but refuses to take a nap no matter how many times you put him down so you spend four precious hours of your day just trying to get him to sleep over and over again but [...]
