Batman is good to have around

P52
One of Cameron’s many drawings. It reads:

“Batman one of the best crook fighters in the world. No one can beat him. He is food to have around.”

I love it.

Dillan is intense

When it comes to running in the backyard, my younger boy Dillan doesn’t play around.

Losing Lost Teeth

P71
Both of Cameron’s front teeth finally came out. Unfortunately he managed to lose both of them. One got dropped on the car and disappeared under the seat somewhere, and the other was lost while he was at summer camp for the day. Thankfully around here the Tooth Fairy only requires that a tooth be pulled out. The whole putting it under the pillow part is optional.

Children of the sand

IMG_0167.MOV Watch on Posterous

I don’t know what it is, but as soon as I started building a large sand castle a group of little kids began forming around me. They were all very interested, asking lots of why/how question, but there was one question that became a common theme…

“Can I knock it down?”

I told them that they could knock it down once I was done and suddenly they could think of nothing else. “Are you done? Are you done? Can we knock it down now?” They were becoming restless and I began to fear for my own safety. So I declared it finished before they took me out. It was all I could do just make them wait until the camera was out and I had started recording.

Dilly and I were having some fun with the front-facing camera while we were hanging out at the recent family reunion.

Homebrew #3 - Blue Top IPA

I finally got around to bottling this IPA that I cooked up with my brother-in-law about 3 or 4 weeks ago. This is the longest primary that I’ve done so far. I wanted to rack it sooner, but really the extra time should do it some good. And I’m still drinking on my last brew (Belgian Wit) so hopefully I won’t be in such a rush to crack one of these open.

Getting off my ass w/ a standing desk

I’ve been eating healthy and working out for the past 4 months or so, but I still manage to sit on my ass for 8 or more hours a day.  That just didn’t seem right, so after hearing several coworker swear by their standing desk setups I decided to do something about it. Fortunately this didn’t require me to buy a new desk since the Ikea model that I currently have is adjustable. I just had to disassemble it and reassemble at the desired height. We’ll see how it goes…

Stinky feet!

IMG_2092.MOV Watch on Posterous

Dillan and I always play this game where I smell his feet and tell him they’re stinky, but this time he turned it around on me…

Cameron’s Dragonfly Costume

Cameron’s school is putting on a play about bugs and each student had to pick a bug that they wanted to be. Cameron chose the dragonfly, so I threw together this costume using cardboard, pipe insulation, and zip-ties. What do you think?
