I am a Woman Living amongst Dudes. And their Legos.

Apparently one’s foot is an appropriate makeshift tabletop work surface. And long after Little Dude has moved on to other activities, the Lego flotsam and jetsam remains behind…

Not a Lot of Noise.

A few nights ago a couple of my friends dropped by.  We were busy gabbing away, not particularly paying attention to our surroundings, when they both suddenly asked, “Hey!  Is it always this quiet here?  Don’t you have three BOYS?!?”  And yes, I do have three boys.  And, yes, they were all home at the time.  We were all, in fact, in the same general space.  Reach out and touch each other close.  And yes, it was quiet.  It usually is.  We Kellers are not noisy. About the only time it gets noisy is when all the dudes (Big Dude inclusive) are watching some dude-flick with crashes, explosions, and loud, obnoxious, electronic, deep-base music.  At those times, there is no place in the house I can go to escape the noise.

But, for the most part, life in Kellerville is peacefully quiet.

Happiness is …

Having fun playing dominoes on a lazy afternoon.  With munchies.  And hot chocolate.  With whipped cream on top thankyouverymuch.  And Lego guys for markers … Until it’s not fun anymore …

June/July Galaxy-ography

 

An overnighter to San Jose, book club = Wives and Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell, Cafe Cubano …. simply yum (please don’t remind me it’s a giant cup of half and half with just a little bit of espresso).

Frisbee evenings at the beach, summer-izing the jeep, end of school, gym rats, rim trail at sunset

Beginning of summer vacation = trip to our favorite dentist, June gloom, Ultimate Frisbee (yes, broken-ankled Big Dude is back to playing … cautiously), work on workshop, Squire’s Tales = fun reads

Little Dude’s sunflowers grow bigger than him, Discovery Science Center – Vitruvian Boy, window washing crew, new t-shirts

all pics from Samsung Galaxy 3

Frisbee Golf – SoCal Version

Not to be confused with the Spokane Version of Big Dude’s “back-in-the-day”.  (this course was a mere fraction of the size & splendor of that course and had exactly NONE of the gorgeous flowers. tho it did have some cute tiles) 

Throwing it down Tron-Style… Goal:  to hit center post inside the rope pyramid… There may or may not have been some frustration … My favorite shot of the day.  Yes, it was my dumb idea.  And yes, I did get conked on the head.  Back at tee one.  The end.
