Truly randomness... for real

I'm going to have to STOP saying that my husband is cute, not handy. I am going to miss that. Several years ago, my dad showed Ryan how to put up light fixtures... ceiling fans, etc... and he has since (by HIMSELF... you know I couldn't help him!) put up SEVERAL in our house. (by "since" I mean, in the last couple of months) Quickly, too. I am so impressed. Yesterday, he hung the chandelier I insisted on having for our stair well. Remember this? The part I want you to remember is the "Very High Stairwell" and the fact that there's no easy way to get to the center of it, even with a great ladder. My very handy husband (and yes, still cute) brought light into our home, and he didn't even get electrocuted doing it. Amazing. I'm sure he's hoping I will STOP going to Lowe's.
More random news:

Another favorite passtime of mine (beyond coming up with projects for my now-handy-still-cute-husband) is looking at my kids while they are sleeping. Since I work 3 nights a week, I really only get the opportunity 4 nights out of a week... and cut that down to 3 nights since one of my nights off, I am generally in a coma. I digress... as usual. Here's Carly, last night... note Blankie, all around her neck, as usual. She's taking HER to college with her and we are all ok with that. Next, note Elfy... beloved cat. So well loved, hey, why not just sleep ON her? Poor thing is half-way UNDER Carly... I guess she/he/whatever didn't really mind. Also fun: talking to the kids while they are sleeping. Yes, they answer back, and Yup, have even said, "Mom? I'm sleeping here..." Apparently I need a new hobby.

Talking to Tracy while she was sleeping was way more fun! It was the best time to borrow her car or $10!

We used to talk to Jeffrey during the night when we wanted to find out what was going on in school. Lots of interesting things to report. Seems to run in the family.
