Mower Problems

Moose helped fix the mower. We needed a new deck belt put on the mower. Moose used a YouTube video to help figure out how to change the belt. He also cleaned-up the deck before putting it back on the mower.

Thanks for helping Moose!

A "Happy" and A "Water War"

I had an extra piggie all weekend, when the parents came to claim their piggie I received a "Happy"! Very awesome "Happy"!

So, I let the piggies and their friends have a "Water War" in the front yard on Saturday. They build forts with trash cans, lawn chairs, tarps, a rain coat, hulu hoop (I know really), and anything else they could find in the yard. Each team had a hose and they played for about three hours and had an awesome time! Today, I got a notice on the front door from the water company suggesting I might have a leak because my water consumption had increased. No leak just a "Water War"!

Chair Refurbished

Moose helped me refurbish my desk chair. We used a staple gun, extra padding and a piece for fabric.The cushion was ripped and there were missing screws. In the end it looks awesome. Perhaps will will recover the back of the chair too...na, we'll wait until it needs to be recovered.

Thanks for the help Moose!

First Day of School

Today was the first day of school for the piggies. Rainbow and Lil Bit started new schools and were very nervous. I took them to school today but they will ride the bus from now on which I might reconsider since the bus comes at 6:30 AM.

Lunch was packed with awesome reuseable bags and containers from The Container Store. I went shopping while in St. Louis this summer.

Happy, Happy, Happy

A few friends and I got to go hear Phil Robertson speak today.

Look Out

Moose got his drivers permit today! Look out world here he comes.

Moose: "Can I drive home?"
Princess: "No. Wait until Boomer moves back home to drive with her."
Moose: "No, really can I drive home?"
Princess: "No, really you CAN NOT drive home. It's going to take my nerves a while to process this."

Our state does not require drivers education so your drivers education begins with a drivers permit. When you start to learn to drive. Moose has only driven the lawn tractor. I need baby steps or an open field or Boomer to take him out.

Alarm Clock?

Moose came home from Boy Scout camp today with a new "alarm clock". He was helping replace the fire alarm system at camp this summer. One of the Scout Masters helped him use one of the old alarm sirens, a batter, switch and wire to create his very own "alarm clock". I can't wait until I ask Moose to get up in the morning and he doesn't. It is going to be a great way to wake him...(said with an evil grin)...mwahahaha!
