Our Memorial Day Weekend

Well...there it is - my three-day weekend project. Good times - sore everything. Below are some pics of the progress over the course of three days. Because of the rain, most of the work happened on Monday. As for other things, Morgan is out of school and is no longer a 7th grader. She is excited...her parents not so much. I caught a Spurs playoff game last week and will have some pics up hopefully this week. Other than that, things are moving right along. I'm sleepy right now and having a glass of wine with a side of Motrin so I'll write more later. Take care.


The beginning. Four large boxes, a smaller box with all the stuff in it, and a slide. Thanks to Luke for using his truck to get it all to the house...35 MPH on Stone Oak Parkway on a Friday afternoon did not make any friends for us.

Random of K from a few weeks ago when she was convinced she was a kitty kat.


Last week, K had dress up day at school. What...did you really think she would go as something else?
