Fringe Benefits...

Dylan and Brooklyn agree that there are some serious fringe benefits to getting a brand new kitchen --- like the tons of really big cardboard boxes!!



Today we are right in the middle of the kitchen remodel, and the cabinets are being installed. A couple of cabinets have already been mounted, so the empty boxes have now become a playground.





Dylan has built a cardboard house with the empty boxes --- complete with front door and skylight. As more boxes are emptied, he has plans to add on to his existing house --- perhaps a dining room, kitchen, bedroom, and a room for his little sister.



Brooklyn... well she's supervising the construction from her little area of the yard.

Me... I'm just SO grateful for an absolutely beautiful (and somewhat warmer) day so that they can play outside --- out of the electrician and installer's way!

Hey Gang....I love the pictures of Dylan and Brooklyn with their makeshift house! Brings back memories except Dylan's look more like an engineer helped instead of a Filipino MaMa!(if you know what I mean!) Can't wait to see them Dec. 28th.
Love, Mom

Hey Mama ---
The engineer became an engineer because of what her Filipino Mama and Coon-A** Daddy taught her!! I wonder what his Great Depression Shanty Town or his Japanese Water Garden will look like...Love you more than ever, and we are EXCITED about you coming up next week...

Brooklyn would eat the dirt without anyone making her... she seems to think it is a delicacy!!
