Harrassed by extraterrestrials

Have we become the target?
A few nights ago, something busted through the ceiling and made a loud boom!
Thomas knew how to fix it
Good as new
Looks like the meteorite was shaped like a mandal

Coleus Farm: Before and After

Here's the side of the house before we did a little gardening...And after.

Thomas ripping out the grass with a pickaxe. It's a hard job, but Thomas is a beast and he cleared it quickly.

We've had a "coleus farm" next to the kitchen window since last summer. They are easily propogated; if you pinch off a branch and put it in water, you get a new plant. Thomas turned last year's 6 plants into 30 or so. All the excitement has turned us into coleus pinching thieves. We acquired a few new varieties from the zoo parking lot last week.

Wii bought one

After several weeks with Daniel's wii, wii were starting to really panic about what wii would do when it was gone. Wii tried to convince Daniel to leave it with us, but he said no. So wii pooled our resources, went to Target, and got this:



For those of you thinking that now it's going to be really impossible to focus on our dissertations, well, you may have a point. But wii're going to use it to get buff! Fitness is a noble pursuit. Look what comes out Wednesday.

Opa!

Inspired by Thomas' parents' recent trip to Greece, we all went to dinner tonight at the Mykonos Grill, a great greek restaurant. We're sad that Daniel and Elizabeth are leaving tomorrow. We already miss King Boo a lot, and hope everyone comes back to visit soon!

Trip to the zoo

Pictures from our trip to the zoo in Asheboro. For those of you who are counting, yes, this was our fourth visit so far this year. Good thing we have a membership!
