pitchers or hunters? both, luckily

I'm back. I know, I know, I've been rather prolific this week.

With less than two weeks until opening day my dad has been bringing me up to speed on the Sox: their historical significance, importance to New England's mental state, and in general why we practically live and die by them all summer. Just in time for today's lesson, the globe ran a nice piece about Timlin and Wakefield with this photo which my dad said is pretty great. He said something about this is not why he loves the team, but pictures like this certainly don't hurt their case. Believe it or not, my mom doesn't share the same feelings about this particular photograph.

weekend project

so sorry baby watchers, this week we just have some boring pictures of the beginning of the bathroom renovation. did most of the tearing down myself but couldn't have done the building back up part without smitty. go ahead, click the picture if you want to see if I managed to finish before the family got home from the granparents'.

sweet potatoes

Oh hi, could you just hold on for a quick second? You caught me in the middle of something here. I have a new trick. You see, when I'm done eating I tend to have lots of food all over my face; and if I make a big enough scene during my post-feeding washdown, I can get away with some tasty remnants for later. So I'm not just sticking my tongue out at you, though that is an added bonus, I'm actually having some leftover, dried sweet potatoes from dinner. sweet potatoes are my favorite.

And I have to tell you this story; this was awesome. Some of you may know that the fireplace is a current frontrunner in my list of cool things. Well, I've been waiting for my moment and it came the other day. mom thought she could plop me down in front of some silly dvd for 10 seconds while she went to change the laundry or something. That was when I made my move, or moves (4 or 5 rolls to be precise). Before she could find me, I managed to get one of the fireplace tools sucked clean of soot, and a great reaction from mom. Good stuff.

That's all for now, I'll try to check in again soon. I've just learned to clap and a very clap-worthy situation just came up. bye.

just a picture this time
