I have made fire



It's nice to get a break from fixing humans to hang out with my boys. Well, Jack doesn't do much "hanging" yet, but James does. This past weekend we made a 8 foot by 8 foot sandbox that required a cubic yard of sand to fill.

48-6 inch nails, 12 landscaping timbers, 50 feet of weed blocker, and some shoveling. Best part about it was the 100 degree temperature and near triple digit humidity. I lost a lot of sweat and lot of pride.

But, for the first time ever, I managed to not injure myself during the construction process. Anyone in my family will tell you that I go to the ER, a lot. Stabs, punctures, lacerations, crushing injuries, breaks. I've done 'em all.

But not this time!

This time my son and I had a great weekend, made 5 trips to Home Depot, each of which required a stop at the candy store, and started/completed a project.

In your face Holmes!
