Random happenings

Some random things happening around our household.

  • I blogged about our rabbit Nacho awhile back. Well Jessica bought Nacho's litter mate whom she named Pickles. Nacho and Pickles became inseparable and so we decided to keep them together. They stayed over at our house for a couple of months and now they are over at Jessica's house. We consider it joint custody. Today we went over to her house for our visitation period. Jessica set up a fenced in area for the rabbits to play in while she is outside with the kids. They sure enjoy running around and eating grass and the kids sure seem excited to be able to interact with them outside of their hutch.




  • This past weekend was productive in the baby category. We moved some bedroom furniture around allowing room for the crib and dresser. I went out with the truck and picked up the crib and changing table from Jessica whom I'm borrowing it from (thanks so much Jessica!). I'm excited to assemble the crib and get everything set up this coming weekend. I never thought I'd have two kids in cribs at the same time, so it's a blessing that I'm able to borrow this stuff....buying another crib was not in the books (the checkbook that is).

  • Sean has been busy working on a new project. When we went out to the old family farm the beginning of this month, Sean picked up an old Cub Cadet garden tractor. It's pretty old and had some mechanical issues that needed to be addressed. We thought it could come in handy around here with the implements that it came with. It has a snow blower, mower, rototiller and blade that attach to it. Sean also has plans to put a front loader/bucket on the front. He was told that the motor had seized up so he's been busy pulling it apart and de-gunking it. After rebuilding the carburetor and cleaning the rust out of the gas tank he fired it up and low and behold it runs! He drove it around the yard this weekend. The thing had been sitting for God only knows how long and Sean got it up and running in two weekends. Pretty awesome!

Way to go Sean! The old cub still has some life in it. I'm glad it has a new home.
