the lowe's fairy returns

yes, it's a bee-you-ti-full day in the neighborhood when the lowe's truck pulls into my driveway! as you may recall, our old, decrepit washing machine died in april and the lowe's fairy brought us a new one. since the dryer held on a bit longer, it has not been replaced until today. and what a happy day it is!

other random news-

t.willie has finally realized he can climb out of his crib. i knew this day would come, but i have been dreading it. when you can no longer control kids, they start controlling you! yes, you can put them into bed but they can take themselves back out...damn! okay, he's almost three, i guess we'll just have to deal with it.

here is a picture of a visitor who came to the door:

say hello to mr. cicada...yikes! i hate those things!
