Where to start?
This morning we hung one of Evie's Christmas presents. Scott's mom's father brought back these six prints from Japan after World War II. Not only are they a piece of family history (one of Evie's fave presents in general) they are also Japanese (Evie's favorite country). To top it off, one panel depicts stilt-walkers, another depicts a lumberjack! It is like they were made for her! We cleaned them up a bit and wired them to a bamboo pole. They look awesome!
Then Scott fixed our couch. The left half has been sagging in a major way--as in my aunt could barely get out of it the other day! We had just been to a party recently where a woman described how she opened up her couch and fixed the springs. Scott did the same. It is like a new couch. That combined with my recent mind-bogglingly stellar clean up of a cat puke so colossal that Scott thought we would have to torch the couch, leads me to believe to believe that we are some sort of genius fix-it pair. Maybe.
Aikido again. Apparently Evie really surprised a rather large opponent when she neatly toppled him. She may be shorter than everyone else but that girl is grounded--and has some fierce hip action.
Then we went to see Tangled. Great movie. Can't imagine a little kid would like it or understand it at all.
Evie's fashion show is on FRIDAY!!! It is worthy of a post unto itself. She has worked so hard on it. That will have to be another day.

In my top ten list of favorite books is a Reader's digest New Fix It Yourself manual.

Swapped out my light fixtures, welded copper pipes (plumbing), and fixed a very small part between the motor and the transmission (the coupling) of my washing machine.
Dude.
Do It You's self so rocks. :)
Go Jenn and Scott!
Oh, wait.
Those flags are absolutely gorgeous.
Forgot to say that. :)
The Japanese prints are lovely. My boy has just begun an interest in Naruto, Japanese martial arts and maybe some cooking ~ we're going to try and make sushi soon.
My hubby just re-wired my ancient vacuum last night and I'm so happy!
Fixin' instead of replacin' works for me :0)
