crane-ology


because humor is my "go-to" i figured this had to be a joke... but then my brain kicked in and i thought that maybe they hauled the trailer up there to weigh the crane down so it wouldn't sway in the wind? maybe they plan to tar the roof on monday? who knows... still made me get out of my car and take a picture. (i'm sure my dad will have some smart remark - HA!)

hmmmm...


i went in to take a picture of ben this morning - you must know that he sleeps everywhere on his bed but where he *should* - well, i turned the camera on and he woke up, so i thought i'd go back to a little phase (1 yr. ago) in his life where he slept with the most random things. this is a piece of styrofoam... i have a picture of him sleeping with john's boots... (sigh) what a kid. (those pj's he has on are now worn by his sister - HA!)
