today was such a lazy day! we got absolutely nothing done...the boys
kinda let me sleep in a little bit. then i had to give bruno his medicine from a dropper-he hates when i have to force feed him. boo. he always pretends he's dying and throws a little tantrum. not long after that, i had to get a pic because the boys were hangin out together and they just looked really cute. after i took the pic, chaco asked me if i could print the pic off and frame it, and get him a bunch of wallet size prints so that he could give them away to friends. strange, because i have never given him a wallet.

| handsome boys! |
remember when i mentioned that my dad had taught me so much of his handy-man tricks? well, i had this box ready to go down to the dumpster, and i decided to put it to use. i saw one of those ramps for little dogs at
petsmart yesterday when i was forced to wait 15 minutes for lab results (you know, so they don't jump from the bed and couch and hurt their little bones). the one they had was like $129-if i had a shop and the right tools, i could build one out of scrap wood or something, but all i had was tape and cardboard boxes...so, here's what we did.
 |
| this is actually the bottom side-it needed extra support so it wouldn't cave in |
 |
| sharp, right? |
 |
| and final product-i had to cover it with a throw because the cardboard itself is more like a slide than a ramp |
so, now that we've made stairs and a ramp out of cardboard boxes, who knows what our next project will be! i suppose it'll be whatever we need at the time-
necessity breeds invention!
today bruno and chaco were talking about crank calls while i was in the kitchen (they still don't realize that i can hear them from over the bar). so i don't know if they have already or not, so if you ever get a call from my # and just hear giggling or silence, it was probably them.
make something fun this weekend!
