Good to hear. I was hoping to go see that this weekend. Have you seen the new Fast and Furious movie?

Well, that's another one I wanted to see. I don't get to see much at the theaters unless it's in a cartoon format and it's something the kids want to see. Every now and then, I get to go see one that I actually want to see.

I get to go whenever i want (no kids) but we hardly ever go. Its like 11 bucks a person to watch a movie in a good theater up here, and start adding a few snacks and it gets pretty ridiculous.

It's not much better down here. And you are exactly right, throw in a drink, popcorn, and / or candy and you could have easily gone to eat at a good restaurant with money left over. Now imagine doing that with three kids. Hell, by the time I pay for all of that, I could have made a monthly payment on a new truck!

Yeah. I dreaded it at first but he's got a super sharp head on his shoulders and he's an excellent driver. It's been a big help when it's time to run errands. He's dying to go and I'm dying to stay so I give him the list and he's off. My daughter is 7 going on 21. She is the greatest little girl in the world. My other son is 5 and he's a computer genius and funny as heck. They all make excellent grades and work really hard.

Sounds like you do have really great kids.

What are you gonna let your kid drive since hes of driving age?? (like does he have his own ride, or borrow yours or...?)

Right now he borrows mine. He's living with his mom now and comes to visit on the weekends. He only uses mine when he comes in to visit. He uses his mom's during the week down there. He just went to live with her about 6 months ago. Bad thing for him was I had him set up in a new '08 F-150 if he had stayed here. He didn't know that until after he decided to move. He's kicking himself right now. But, I wasn't going to dangle a new truck in front of him to make him stay.

Good morning Tristan!! It's only 438am here!!!! Have fun today with the screaming kids, I'll have a few around here myself. Having a little b-day party for Claire. She turned 1 on the 30th so we have a bunch of family coming up from Seattle to have a little bbq and drinks.


I got the cabinets done yesterday!!! I counted after I got done, 47 bases and uppers. I'll get pics after the granite goes on, looks kinda dumb right now with the open tops. Solid maple, looks really sweet!
