@mysteryben.bsky.social Hey there! Any chance you have any of the old murder mystery sweat shirts hidden somewhere (in XL)? I've loved mine for years and years and it's definitely showing it's age. I'd love to get a new one!
But we desperately need more people with computer knowledge working in accounting. Also, have cute. ^^
This is why you build your own custom curing box for 3D printing, so when you get something that absolutely maxes out the size of your printer, you can still clean and cure it! Been having fun printing some Witchsong minis for the wife to paint. That swamp dragon (first pic) took 19.25 hours.
Jesse almost, almost figured out how to beat him. But with a last second distraction, Erik found his way in and took back what he was searching for. He only had to cut out her tongue to get it!
I'm absolutely not a florist, but kiddo wanted to pull out a floral arrangement for the holiday for me. So we went outside and plucked one of each of the flowers on our new property. How do they look?
Another one of my child's glorious creations. This one is peanut butter, pickles, bananas, and finally jelly all packed between two slices of bread. And she's giving it two thumbs up!
This is going very fast and I love it. Listed last Friday and by Monday night I had several offers playing on each other. We're getting a very good price and selling to a nice young couple for their first home. All that effort appears to be worth it. :)
The family and I got to have fun today at the Grand Haven kite festival! We hung out with a few friends there too. Kiddo got to fly a kite with her friend for an hour, play in a bunch of sand, and got wet in lake Michigan. It was a great time. :)
A child's imagination will never cease to amaze me. Her breakfast this morning consists of two clementines, peanut butter (specifically around the rim), then topped with chocolate cake crumble.
They only recently hatched here! We have two active nests. The two hatchling pictures were taken Sunday.
Kiddo enjoying some fort engineering this morning. We only helped put the blanket on.
A 10 pound sledge is the right tool for tapping in wall anchors, yes? <3 Can finally get some order to the kiddo's room.
We dodged a serious bullet today. Finally had the tree guys come around and take down the giant basswood they built the deck around. Turns out, it was nearly completely hollow and filled with critters! Watched a raccoon jump out the top at one point.
Follow up post. We went to the house ourselves and the owners allowed us to clean it up some to check the damage. Nothing serious, but I need to check the grommets on the metal roof when it's warmer and dry and make sure there's no leaks.
No no no! We close tomorrow! I cannot handle any more stress in my life. This was one of the trees we were planning on cutting down at the beginning of April just for this reason! I'm completely lost at what to do here.
Got to Doot Doot all the way through Proof of a Hero! Was a fantastic finish with two minutes to go!
She's come so far in the past school year. ^^ we're hoping she's reading sometime over the summer.
Found this adorable piece while preparing to move. Thanks again @carbontrap.bsky.social !
Best move I ever did was turn off all reskeets. I want to actually "talk" to people and hear other people talking. I don't want all the propaganda bull shit that gets shared all the time.
This is what real love looks like on your birthday. Love you honey! We're being told that someone is painting some of our house tomorrow, so we're making this move sooner than expected. They're volunteering their time here, so we're doing our best to accommodate them.
This is what real love looks like on Valentine's Day. Love you honey! <3
Packing for moving is fun. Found some old pics in the closet. Thanks again @kaputotter.bsky.social ! What year did you do these again? 2006? 07?
The crazy things you find when you open cabinets that hadn't been opened in over ten years. Cleaning to move is FUN!! ./sarcasm
Kiddo has been enjoying her forts lately. She builds them all over the house. You can see Mom is very amused. XD Reading book two of the wild robot tonight! It's a great series.
