Can you guess what CJ's favorite color is lately?

Grandma Beth helped us plant our flower pots today and CJ got to pick his very own plant and pot...see a favorite color theme?

Nick was cute too, a day late... Happy Memorial Day!

It's that special time of year again!

Our neighborhood favorite...Farmington clean up day! Remember this post from last year

One man's shit...another man's treasure

And the shit collectors didn't disappoint this year....

I had a new action plan this year. I figured if they didn't have too much shame to drive around and pick up shit, they wouldn't have too much shame to get their picture taken either. Yep, I did...I stood in the driveway and documented the hoopla with my camera...enjoy!

Nice! I wish I had an extra zoom lens so I could have counted the missing teeth! Charlie, cue the banjo! da da ding ding ding....

Maybe if he scaled back on the cell phone plan he could afford some glossy paint for that there fender!


Ooooohhhh! Ambulatory "emo" shit hunters...

"I scored myself this nice Crown Vic at the POlice auction, now I'm lookin' for some new tires!"

How much JUNK can you fit in your TRUNK!


Nick is wondering....what the hell are you gonna do with all that shit?

Haven't found anything good yet, but I'm lookin' good lookin'...

"Lookey here, I found myself a new trailer!"

"Honey, I got you that patio set you've been wanting. I only had to stop at 5 houses!"

Note the chairs strapped to the roof and he's working on taking apart a patio table...

A FRICKIN' TRAFFIC JAM AT THE END OF DYLAN DRIVE! The silver SUV ended up backing up and going the other way because between the patio set disassembling and grill loading there was no getting through!

"Hey mom, how much junk do you think I can fit in my trunk?"

Next year: Ugly couch contest...I'm hitting the road and documenting from the other side!

Yes, it's a blog post about a tree

When we moved to this house there was this gangly looking shrub?bush?tree? in the background that about met it's fate with a pair of trimmers a few times. But, I held off and tried staightening it by staking it up and trimmed it up a little bit. I had NO CLUE what type of shrub?bush?tree? I was dealing with. I am so glad I didn't chop that little sucker down!

This funky little thing next to the playset....

...has turned into this!
