Big Boy!

KC has been binky free for almost a whole week!! He's doing really good without it. It was purely by accident, the last one got lost at the store last saturday and we didn't want to buy anymore. I thought it wasn't going to be a lot worse than it was, but he's slept allright and isn't even asking for it anymore! Yeah!!

Some assembly required

The beginning, bought for 150$ off craigslist, stored in the garage in a big pile of boards. It was a little harder to figure out how it all fit back together than we anticipated.
The camera was out of batteries at the beginning of the process, but I still caught a few construction pictures.
Attaching the slats was a little harder than we thought it would be, in an effort to drill in the screws the drill started smoking and smelling really bad, and the battery powered drill wouldn't even start to turn. So we started nailing the boards. Then we gave in and went and got a drill with enough power to get the job done.
The finished product. Don't mind the black lines on the ground, those are for the guy coming to dig our sprinkler trenches in the morning, on to the next big project. This one will be interesting since we really have no idea what to do or where to even start. But we have the sprinkler design and all the parts so we'll give it a try. And if we can build a deck, we should be able to figure out sprinklers right? Later we'll do some railings, but they didn't have any premade that we liked so thats a project for another day.

The chimenea :) It was the last one left at home depot and has a little crack so we got a discount :) But then we read on the intructions not to use it on a deck, hmmmm, do you think we can just make a little platform from stone or brick for it to sit on on the deck and be ok?

Toddler Creed

Found this on someone elses blog and thought it was priceless.

Toddler Creed
If I want it, it's mine.
If I give it to you and change my mind later, it's mine.
If I can take it away from you, it's mine.
If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
If it's mine it will never belong to anyone else no matter what.
If we are building something together, all the pieces are mine.
If it looks like mine, it's mine.
This is KC all the way. Some days he sounds like one of the seagulls in Finding Nemo "mine mine mine mine"
