Home Alone

Today I am having a rare 'home alone' day. DH is at work and all kids are out doing their various Christmas shopping activities. This morning I cleaned out the pond. So nice when it's all clean. And the 'babies' (turtles) are so happy to have clean water. It's supposed to be storming later. But storming in LA means a couple of rain drops. So who knows what we will get. Right now it's totally sunny. DS (Daniel) has decided to redo the patio for our Christmas gift. You can see the before picture in the graduation post. And this is the 'during' pic. I think he's a bit overwhelmed at the whole idea. But he's determined to finish it. (someday)
