A picture says a thousand words

Or so it's been said. With that in mind, I should have uploaded the pictures Jewel took Monday of the post holes being dug. Of course, those are at home on her camera and I'm way too lazy to upload them. I will of course, but these things take time. Look for them later this week. I have to give the wife credit, she loves to document our lives on film, well not really film, more on mega-pixels, but you get the drift. Special occasions, just hanging out, the kids doing cute/goofy shit, crisis and as of Monday, work commencing. Yes, Crisis. This takes me back to the last deck at our last house, some 5 years ago. The contractor dug the post holes and left. Not before telling Jewel to make sure the 2 year old girl didn't fall in them. Bastard never said anything about watching the 9 year old. Buzzcut decided to see if he could fit in one and he did. All the way up to his arms. While I was at the store. The nighbor comes tearing in the house to tell Jewel that the kid's in a hole. Both guys that live next door start digging him out. Jewel helped in her own way, she grabbed the camera. Looking back it's funny as hell. and yes, we still have the pictures.
I guess picture taking is a good thing, I just never really bothered looking at pics of things in the past, though I probably should, especially those pictures. It may enlighten me, or it may frighten me.
The boy officially turned 14 yesterday, and he is starting to resemble a teen-ager. The shit kids get for their birthdays amazes me. He got the X-box that I mentioned earlier, a ton of games and like $110 in gift cards/cash. We took him to Best Buy where he squandered it all on DVDs. Gotta give the kid credit. He knows how to get the bang out of a buck. He went for all cheaper DVDs so he ended up walking out of there with like 3 seasons of the Cosby Show, 2 seasons of The Simpsons and a couple movies. Not a bad haul. I'm just happy he doesn't want me to watch any of that shit with him, except maybe the Simpsons. That I could do, probably. We also took him to Outback for dinner and to pick up his new glasses, which he desperately needed. Can't all be fun and games I guess, even on your birthday.
Back to work, have a hell of a day.
