Helper.......

 

 

While momma mandy was making dinner she received a request by Malia to help her, of course a chair had to be pulled up but her assistance was appreciated(I think).

What tasty dish are they making?

Some ol lasagna with carrots, spinach, bell peppers and turkey burger, it was quiet tasty.

Winter storm 2013.........?

 

Well it's not really a winter storm but things tend to get blown out of proportion down here in the south , but there is sleet and ice forming on the roads and walkways. The past couple of days have been quiet cold here at the homestead, we have fired up that wood stove so the house is warm and toasty. Nether the smoke or ice is very visible in this pick but your just have to take my word for it.

Here Malia, Ella and daddy Dave are peering out the window at momma Mandy.

Daddy Dave threw down some ice melt on the slippery walk, it works pretty fast. As of this morning the ice is a thing of the past, it has been warming up and today may be a high of 48.

Peek-a-boo.........

 

While the party was winding down Ella grew tired and feel asleep on her mother (while she was dancing), so momma mandy put her in the car seat for a nap. Did she nap? Well the pic says it all she just peeped through an opening in the covers, she was content but still had a eye on the party.

And here's a pic of the now married couples get away vehicle, heading off to start their life together.

Dancing boots.....

 

During the mother son dance, uncle joel and his mother sped up the tempo and danced their asses off.

I do have video of this, and it's classic. Looks like they had a blast.

Duck tape use #558.........

 

The other afternoon daddy Dave was backing up and brushed his driver side mirror on a bush this knocked it backwards which would typical not be a big deal being they are made to take this abuse to prevent further expensive damage. But in this particular case it broke.............after a bit of explicit language, time was of the essence so a bit of duck tape was added to hold it in place until further action could be taken.

The next day daddy Dave had a bit of spare time to take a closer look at the root of the problem. It seemed that the locking washer atop of the spring had popped off causing the mirror the move freely.

So after compressing the spring with a c-clamp and tapping the washer back into place, daddy Dave seemed to be back in business. Wait............that was too easy...............

Yep it was too easy and everything went off without a hitch............until daddy Dave tried to reattach the mirror. Snap.......crack.....capooey .........eBay here I come. With a replacement mirror on the way, I now know the proper way to reinstall the side mirror(press in the middle not the edges)
