We just started to give Noah access to the television this summer. I realize that I have been lax in monitoring what he watches. I have locked him out of most channels except history and cartoon ones. Given today’s TV standards I should still monitor more than that. This morning I was hit with the TV influence upside the head. I was getting some coffee when he blasted me with this bit of wisdom. He asked if he could have breakfast and I told him that I would make it after I finished pouring my coffee. To that he responded - “You have to act now because operators are standing by.” What more could do but to make him some waffles.
After making the lego post a few days ago I got thinking about what I could do to make life easier for him when playing with all those legos. After and little thought I came up with smaller bins. Instead of one huge bin I bought 2 smaller bins that are quite shallow. He is currently on vacation with my parents but when he gets back I am sure he is going to like the change.
I have been working on this for a few weeks for a local Coven. It is all set and ready to go. They are filling it with new content and should be all done with that by the end of the week. I am rather proud since it is my second wordpress installation. I had been using Joomla and before that Mambo. What a difference WordPress is amazing. Why on earth did I not think to try it out before now. Drum roll and all that jazz, I present to you “The Coven of the Raven Website”
My son has a very extensive lego collection. We keep his lego collection in 2 huge rubbermaid tubs. I also keep in my living room a small table for him to play with them on. Every time he dumps out the large bins to search for a part it takes a few hours of us prodding him to clean them up. Today was the dawning of a new era!! Searching for a door by pawing though them not wanting to dump them out he says to me, “Dad can you dump this out so I can find a door for my house?”. Ok this seems harmless at first but you should know that the rule of the house is if you dump it out you clean it up. This phrase I have repeated many times trying to get him to clean them up. He gets points for that one but he still had to clean it all up.
Waist deep in laundry. I am not sure how all of it managed to get dirty at once. I have been working on setting up a new website for my wife. The first site I built for her was on top of Joomla. That site proved to be very slow and database heavy. This new one is faster and built on top of wordpress. Check for updates it will be ready soon.
Emily is the newest addition to the Powell family. That brings the final total to 1 dog 2 cats 1 rat 1 man 1 woman and 1 child. Makes for a full and happy house.
