Lord of the Rings trilogy. Daddy read Fellowship of the Ring to the kids years ago – they were mostly too small to get it, but we’re doing it again and it’s really going over. That, plus the uber-treat of Daddy showing them the movie, and you’ve got some seriously fixated children.




Too many late nights equals

tired

and grumpy

Was sweeping the kitchen floor the other day and then
Mama, can I do the sweeping?
Um, sure, honey. Go ahead.
Can I mop it too? Mopping’s fun!
Yes, you may.

Mama, do you have any other jobs for me to do?
Um….

Daddy succeeded in turning our friend Mr. Bill to the dark side!

A fun weekend visiting with our old buddy. It’s too bad he had to, you know, be destroyed. Quite the battle that afternoon. The kids whupped on him good.


Luckily everyone recovered in time to grill some awesome steaks. Perhaps next time Darth Bill will know better than to challenge those Wallner kids.
Brett & I have a plan!
