Kid Stuff

Earlier in the week, we decided that we would get the HB some sort of clubhouse for him and his buddies to hangout in. I'm reasonably handy, so i figured if we got some sort of kit we could get it up in a couple of hours. There's a place off of the freeway near here that advertises such shit, so we went to their website to check stuff out. Gheezuhs-fucking christ is that stuff expensive! $3k is just way too much to spend. Then we check out the prices of just buying some wood and doing it ourselves, and that was still a lot of money and had clusterfuck written all over it.

Plan B involved looking for some sort of fancy tent like structure. Camping tents that were tall enough had too big of a footprint, so that was a no-go. So, we found a canopy that fit the bill. We figured we could buy some extra sheets or something to give them more privacy. So, we set the thing about pretty quick yesterday afternoon and it seemed to work fine. It came with HUGE stakes that we didnt' really want to put through our weed guard, so we went without since we live in a place with very little extreme weather. Of course, last night, just as we're starting to have sex ('natch) the wind kicks up and starts blowing the bastard all over the place. I'm going to go buy some small stakes today.

We went to the NZS's football game last night. It was homecoming and the HB seemed to enjoy the whole spectacle, which was kind of surprising. However, the MOST surprising thing was the the homecoming king was the DRUM MAJOR. A band geek as homecoming king? Times have definitely changed since I went to HS.

Oh, and the kitchen remodel guy's coming today. This'll be fun (NOT).
