Day 334: More Field Trips, Grilling, and Laundry!

I got to go on a field trip to the capital with my 4th grade class today. It was a lot more interesting than last years 4th grade field trip, because we went to a museum for a scavenger hunt after the tour of the capitol building. I was exhausted so I went to sleep as soon as I got home, well...after I out out another load of laundry on our line.

Eric got trained on the out of town route at work today. He'll be delivering parts to Gardner and Paola one or two weekends each month. Then he had his last class at JCCC before graduation!

After he got home from class, I got up and we grilled some burgers and watched Scrubs for the rest of the night. Goooooooodnight!

Line drying is still going well for us! 

A student found this in a science book and reported it to me as "immapropriate".

We relit the grill's fire with lighter fluid, hoping for a "flame broiled" flavor...we ended up with a lighter fluid taste.

Day 331: Multipurpose Porch

After we got back from camping, Eric's blanket was pretty smoky from hanging around the campfire.  I've only line dried twice, and Eric requested that we wait for a sunny day to line dry his blanket!  So I ran a load of laundry when I got home from work and set up my third round of line dried clothes on our porch.

After that was set up, Eric rode his bike and I roller bladed around Eudora - and then we stored his bike onnnnnnn the porch!

Finally, I lit up our grill and grilled some fantastic burgers...on the porch!  We may have a small little apartment, but we use our space wisely!

Line drying and bikes!

Day 298: Grilling Out!

We've been torn on whether to open the grill that we got for the wedding for awhile now.  We know that grills aren't allowed, but 4/5 porches in our apartment complex have one out in plain sight.  We finally came to the conclusion that we would use ours, but keep it stored in the storage closet when not in use.

Tonight we grilled dry rubbed buffalo chicken legs and veggie kabobs.  The kabobs had red baby potatoes, red peppers, garlic, onion, and zucchini.  The garlic ended up being too strong for me to eat straight, but it added a lot of flavor to its neighboring veggies.  Eric was a man about it and ate all of his garlic cloves.  We also watched Predators which was better than I imagined it would be.  Eric's favorite part was when the predator pulled out the inmate's spine - yuck yuck yuck!  I liked the twist with the doctor being a bad guy.

I also got my flip video camera, case, and tripod from Best Buy today, funded from some awesome people at DonorsChoose.org.  I'm really excited about using it!

The sun is in our eyes, but everything else was great!

Mystic escaped more than a dozen times while we were going in and out of the house.

So good!!!
