Ox in the Ditch

Just as cool nights returned to Texas, I got in a hurry to get our windows clean so we could open the windows at night and enjoy the fresh air. After being hot and cooped up in air conditioning since May, I couldn't wait for this freedom. Trouble is, our windows (and screens) were horribly dirty. So, being 9 months pregnant as I am, I set out to clean the windows. Being cool was way more important than the work it would require. First on the list were the kitchen and master bedroom windows. So, one Sunday afternoon while Jasper napped, we did not rest - but instead we started taking apart our original-to-the-house, double paned windows. Getting them apart is way more than half the pain. Cleaning them isn't as tough in comparison.



When Jasper got up, he came outside to hang out with us. Drew introduced him to the ladder we were using, and he quickly took a liking to it. He's got the going up part down pat. When he got to the top of the ladder, he found a cool screwdriver that completely fascinated him. After that, learning to climb down the ladder was of no interest to him, nor were general ladder safety rules. Keeping one hand on the ladder at all times? What's that all about?






After getting hot, sweaty and tired out, Jasper and I had some snuggle time on the couch.
