Happy Sunday

Cute little bird's nest from the zoo.  I think there are 4 or 5 baby birds in there.  What a fantastic nest made out of mud.  Amazing.

T.G.I.F.

And that's all I'm going to say.  It's been a wacky week and I'm ready for the weekend.

How 'bout you?

"A" is for Anniversary and "B" is for Birthday

DSCF0667 "A" is for Anniversary

Today is my 21st wedding anniversary.  Twenty-one years.  That's quite an accomplishment (in today's terms) if I say so myself.  Love ya honey!


"B" is for Birthday

My "little guy" turns eight today.  What a wonderful anniversary gift he was eight years ago.  Love ya buddy!

DSCF0673Some tasty carbohydrates!


"C" is for Craft Time

Craft time has not been in the cards lately.  Other tasks have forced the Crafty Dad to be not-so-crafty lately.  But...I think we're turning a corner (gee I hope we're turning a corner) and there will be some time for craftiness.


Hey, BTW, I sold something on Etsy this week.  A vintage piece.  Woo Hoo.  Don't forget, you save 15% on all items (shipping/handling excluded) when you put the word "giveaway" in the comment section as you checkout.  Offer is good for another ten (10) days.

Have a great weekend.  Stay home and make something.  You'll have fun and save gas!  (Don't even get me started on that one.)

Breakfast at George's

Coffee_and_to_do_list_050808

My son and I continue the Thursday ritual:  breakfast at George's.  It's a great time to have some one-on-one time with him.  Keeping connected with the kids is high priority with my wife and I.

Hope you're having a great week.  Wow..tomorrow is Friday already.

Happy Friday Folks!

Woo Hoo.  Let the weekend begin.  Lots to do (as always).    Getting ready for my oldest son's birthday parties -- one for his friends, one for the family.  He turns 13 this year.  Yes, our little boy is growing up.  I know, I know:  welcome to the teenage years.  Holy cow.  This could be a bumpy ride.

Hope you have a fantastic weekend.

Crafty Dad Moving to TypePad?

I've been blogging on Blogger from the get-go and I'm seriously considering moving things over to TypePad [gee...i guess i'm already here, huh?].

It's like anything else: you get used to doing things a certain way and it's tough to change.  So, we'll see how it goes.  I know there are lots of blogs that I visit each day that are hosted by TypePad and the bloggers have such great sites.  Like I said: we'll see how things go.  I'll try to keep posting over at my old blog while I'm dipping my toe in the TypePad world.

Leave a message.  I'd like to know what you think about TypePad vs. Blogger.com
