It's Comcastic!

Jeremy had the quote of the day today....

We were at the beach today, no real surprise, and Jeremy was flying his kite that he made last weekend. He already had let go of it once, then got it back, and I warned him to hold on to it. But he let it go again (he said later he had to itch his foot). I was standing a couple feet away from him when he called to me that he let it go. I told him to run after it, and he did. But I realized that he wasn't going to catch it - so I decided I had to. I ran as fast as I could to catch that kite string, right past Jeremy. And right as I was within reach, I tripped on a rock and then dove right at it. I got it - and I hope that it looked dramatic. And then Jeremy said the thing that made my whole day,

"What happened to you Dad, did you get Comcast?"

Yep, I'm that fast. I didn't know I was, but apparently I can outrun a rocket car, just like the commercial. And Jeremy even knows the whole jingle "high speed internet with Power Boost."

And the kite I saved. I put it carefully under the cooler - so it wouldn't blow away. But then Ethan found it - so now I think it's in pieces in the back of the van.

But I can probably fix it, so hopefully I can be a hero another day.

The Last Couple Days

It must be nice to the fourth kid.

This was today's project - Michelle's closet. Ethan actually helped me build these on Labor Day.
(If you have to ask which is the "Before" and "After" - then I completely failed.)
