Crunch time

Blog posts have been few and far between because things are boring around here. One excuse is that it's crunch time for school..only a couple more months! Here is Chips Fat Lump Parker catching up on geometry with Kait. There are some exciting things coming around the corner, so hang on. Or we might just start posting random things!

Dentures

Anna's getting a jump start on her possible nursing career through a class at the high school. Right now she is at the nursing home a few days a week. She likes to save her stories about dentures and other exciting things like that for dinner conversation. Thanks.

Appliances

Some people buy cars and boats during their mid life crisis... Mom buys appliances. A few short days after the double oven purchase she brought home this used microwave. Turns out, it's not going to work in our kitchen, but we're starting to wonder what appliance will show up next...

Project

The downstairs bathroom is currently getting a makeover. The wallpaper was stripped and new paint was put down to match the rest of the downstairs! The makeover is courtesy of our old-new housemate, Ben.

Resale

When it comes to the house, Mom thinks of one thing: Resale. It's probably the only way that she can get Dad to (sorta) go along with any home repairs or improvements. The latest purchase can only (sorta) make sense if you think about resale and even then, it's a stretch. Our oven broke recently and Mom bought a double oven. All of the kids are leaving, but you never know... she might bake more than she ever has before. Resale. We also replaced the old white knobs with dark ones. Resale.

The Queen of Resale! They're not planning to move, but when they do, they'll be ready! There's another project in the works... stay tuned.

Kmart Run

Growing up, we all played baseball or softball. We would regularly head to the field to hit batting practice. No one in the fam plays anymore, but Dad got everyone together to hit. The only problem was that all of our gloves disappeared. No worries, Mr. Impulsive ran to Kmart and bought 3 gloves.

and now Mr. Impulsive is very sore today!

Faker

We wear the real thing, but buy the fake brand!

Middle School

Kent and Dad showed up to church looking like twins. They both said it wasn't planned, but we all know they totally pulled the middle school thing. They probably called each other up the night before and planned out the whole thing. Dark green or dark blue? Khaki pants or brown pants? They're obviously BFF's.

Bonding

Family bonding in the 21st Century. Thanks to Sara, we look high tech.

Plans

Kent and Kait's plans for last Saturday: Target, Pet Smart (just for fun), 5 Guys and Goodwill (to buy work pants) Things that happened outside of the plan: Finding a cute jean jacket at Goodwill anddddd a surprise bridal shower.
