The Tree House Chronicles--Day 8

Today, August 16th, we find ourselves on Day 8 of the Tree House Chronicles. Days 1 and 2 were quite productive (ahem, kind of)...here are (part) of our gaggle of children, showing me the progress Daddy made on Day 2, while I and Big A. were out school shopping:

Wowza!! They doubled their progress! First two posts, now four!!!


But, then came days 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. And here is where we stand (or, I guess, here is where the Tree House stands):



Uh huh...four posts. There really are four posts, if you look really closely at this photo taken from afar (I was too darn lazy to walk off the deck to snap a closer picture) you can see a hint of post #4 peeking out behind the tree...oh, wait, that's right, I like to call them stilts! So, there it is, stilt #4 hiding a bit, but definitely there!

Between Mr. Wonderful Mr. Perfectionist, work, relatives, camping, getting back from camping, birthday parties, etc., etc., etc., progress has been, well...slow.

To say the least.

Toodles, for now!

------------------------------------------

Oh, sheesh!! I almost forgot! So, I paid a little visit to random.org, plugged in 2 and 8 ('cuz, you know, I was first, and, well, it'd just be a little weird if I was the winner of my own giveaway, no?!!)...anywho, random.org gave me 4 as the number...I think it chose 4 last time too, but, alas, 4 it is!

And that means, Keely at mannland5 is the winner!! Yay! Contact me Keely, and I'll send you somethin' fun! And just a useless little fact for you, I am related to a Keely (but not this Keely), and know that Keely means beautiful in Irish. Sigh...I wish my name meant beautiful in Irish.

    Congrats to Keely.

    haha... love the progress :o)

    My sister-in-law is Irish and their little girl is named Brecken (which means "freckels" :o) I'll have to let her know about Keely, if she doesnt already know. I love the meaning of names... although mine sometimes comes up as meaning "bitterness", as in a fragrance?

    Oh, well...the meanings of our 3 kidlets' and my hubby's names are much, much better. :o)

Coming soon...

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here:  Halo Braid Tutorial!  Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this: Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

Halo Braid Tutorial!

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!

You should probably finish reading this post first...you know...so you know how to make it... But then...STOP! STOP everything, make this, and thank me later! Oh, hold it...wait just a sec (again)...actually, I got this recipe from Melissa...yes, the Melissa of this story ! And this story ...which, well...is the same story, just told two different ways! ;) So, you can thank her...I guess. Well, in any event...prepare your tastebuds to be tantalized! You'll need this: And, this: You'll also need chicken breasts or steak, but since photographing your "main ingredient" is, like, soooo passe, I've left it out. ( Ahem... ) Just keepin ' up with the times, friend. So...slice up those peppers and onions into cute little strips... And...try your best to not slice up the little fingers that are sneaking away pepper strips... (Lemme just inte...
