Because We Are Insane

Or perhaps just sleep deprived. It wasn't enough to have a new baby. We also have to be working on a new back fence (since the other one blew down in April). Now we've all moved to the basement and Rob is demolishing the kids' bathroom.

I didn't realize that the kids were doing it too, but they seem to be right in the thick of it here. At least Rob has them wearing eye protection, right?
All three of the kids got these orange shirts from the library for the summer reading program. This was in a fit of organization when I dragged them all down there, paid my late fine on the Baby Name Bible, signed Will up for a science class there, and got them new books and videos. Since then, we have forgotten to take Will to his science class, Maddie to a performance of Esperanza Rising, Will to a dental appointment, and Rob to the chapel to clean.
Oh, oh! Not the beauteous sunflower tiles!
After the kids did their worst, Rob found that he could actually break the cast iron tub. It only took breaking two sledge hammers, four trips in the wheelbarrow, and throwing his back out again. But the bathroom is demolished now.

You are insane. Do you want to do my entire home next time? It so needs it. Hope you're doing well! Still haven't seen the new baby. I'm always new baby paranoid (am I going to give it germs? Am I going to wake you up? Would my visiting be just one more thing you have to do?). Hugs and kisses to all.

Reminds me of some demolition aroung 102 Hillside Avenue when you were a little older than Maddie. Same glasses, same hammers, same smiles.

I've always thought of you as ambitious - not insane.
Joss is beautiful - so was his announcement. Just more proof of your ambition. . .

Yes. Insane.

To think, Rob could have been attending a nice conference at Harvard, staying with his favorite brother-in-law, but he chose sleepless nights and bathroom demolition.
