Yo Hubba Bubba

Asher's watching Yo Gabba Gabba and I'm drinking my tea. Clearly the day's winding down. I got some pen nibs (108's not 107, I know, you're bummed) so when he goes down I'll do some comic lettering practice . . . or I'll put that trim back up. Crap. Forgot about that. When you're kitchen is a two foot square your project space narrows pretty quick.

I took off the trim cause we had some ants living back there (and back there they shall stay after I caulk the little bastards in like Pharaohs slaves). When the trim was down I saw a fantastic quarter inch gap all the way around the window. I know insulation wasn't as big in the 50's (or whenever the garden window went in) as it is now but who looks at a quarter inch gap and thinks, "Well, that's a job well done."?

And we wondered why that window was drafty.

Maybe we'll wait on that and watch another Top Gear. Choices. Choices.

Here are some pics from Asher's birthday parties (one on his birthday and one a few day's before, in observance, like).











 Asher didn't car about anything else after he opened this remote control bus. 



You can see Henry try to give Asher other presents . . . and he still plays with the bus.





Cars slippers


"Why don't I get cup cakes every night???"

This one, Nana.













 Yes. My sister got Asher a toy hatchet. Who makes toy hatchets? Broken Leg Industries. I was expecting Dan Aykroyd to step out and show me how to use it.

Charlie got some dress gloves and slippers. Clearly a winning combination.


Tonight's Top Gear (from 2004) has them buying cars for about $150 and seeing how they run. It's an early challange so they don't get too crazy and they're even taking the points seriously.

    Also, where's your living room chair? I notice it's missing in the last picture.

  2. We moved the chair to the fireplace side for the party. It's what Dianna and Asher are sitting in. It just makes more room in the . . . room.

  3. Why does that picture of Charlie remind you of me?
