GOODBYE 2005!

I’m sure, as of late, after every one of my posts you are thinking to yourself “That was funny, but what have you been up to?” Actually, I haven't put much effort into trying to add humor to my posts. My apologies, I will do better in 2006. But I digress.

This blog mainly started to keep family and friends updated on the progress of the house. Sadly, with the exception of a pipe bursting in the ceiling and a few other minor setbacks, we haven't done anything lately with the house. However, we have many projects in progress, such as the

WATERFALL/LANDSCAPING
Currently on hold





And of course
THE COURTYARD
Also on hold



But the big project this fall was
JOHNS SHOP
Which will most likely be done before the house. It already looks better than the house and John does quite a job keeping in clean, unlike the house.

WIRSBO AND CONCRETE




SPRAY FOAM INSULATION


SHOP FLOOR


I cannot even describe to you how ginormous this building is. It’s 2 stories tall, and until John starts to move in his storage and shelving, it has been doubling as a
ROLLER SKATING RINK







Que the sunset....Que the Auld Lang Syne song...pause and reflect.

And that's a wrap people.

A HARTIGAN CHRISTMAS DOCUMENTARY

CHRISTMAS MIRACLE
My kids actually went outside to play. Of course it was a balmy 40 degrees, which is unusual for MN.



DOS KAHONIES
The dog figured out opening presents real fast. He likes his new squeaky toys.





PRETTY IN PINK
Zoe’s favorite present, everything was pink



THE VIDEO ZONE
Bet you can’t guess what the boys favorite gift was.





JOHN GOT HIS POPCORN



C GOT A LIMON



And one KICK ASS camera so she can continue to document what the Hartigans have been up to.

ALL IN THE FAMILY
The gift to the family this year was a dart board. Surprisingly the person I thought would least enjoy it, seems to have quite a knack for it.



However, I’m starting to wonder what possessed me to think this was a good idea.



UNCLE DAN
We went to the folx for xmas brunch. There were way too many pics to post so I picked my favorite.



THIS YEARS ADVENTURE IN TOYS AWARD WINNER-THE BRATZ DOLL
45 minutes, no less than 3 tools and quite a few scissor and plastic cuts later, we managed to free the doll from it’s packaging. I was told not to be concerned about the dismemberment of the dolls feet, apparently “it’s perfectly normal”.



Hope everyone had a great Christmas. My gift to you, I won’t document New Years (as I will most likely be in bed by 9 pm).

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
