I Wish I Could

The athomedad.org web site had a thread on "what is your theme song". Some days it changes,,,lol,, but this is my theme song. The words are for a little girl,,, but it's my thing on kids in general. They are such a gift,,,, can't imagine life without them.
Hope you enjoy.

School is in session and I'm busier than ever


Hey Folks,,,
Well,,,, we got the first report cards,,, and we are having a great school year. What I find absolutely crazy,,,,,, I thought that once the kids were in school,, I'd have time to do this blogging thing on a more regular basis.
I'm still busy with all the yard work. Love working out side,,, and of course when the kids come home,, they love it outside & I can get my work done.
I haven't chronicled it well,, but I've spent this summer redoing the front of our house. Tore out the old retaining wall,,,, steps and sidewalk. Installed the new landscaping block wall in a new design. Poured cement for a new sidewalk and to patch the drive to accommodate the changes.
Now I'm mid-project on capping our stoop to look like a traditional country front porch with railing etc. The Deck is built and I'm planning on starting the railing today. I have high hopes,,, but,, to quote a famous line,,,,"the road to hell was paved with good intentions". LOL,,, hope this isn't one of my pavers,,,,LOL.
Oh,,,, I decided to attempt loading a pic. For my birthday,,, shortly after my last blog post,,, I got inked. My very first tat,,, and I love it. Thanks Di,,, the wife gave it to me,,,;>) This pic is within days of getting it,,,, had to show it to some friends.

Well folks,,, off to play group,,, I'll keep ya posted on the porch. Also hopeful that the next post will have pics of the project.
Later
Mike
