Yeah, Wow...

The blog seems to be dying away... :) I just rarely pick up my camera when it is raining and cold! We should have an okay weekend I suppose, at least no rain they say. Not much going on other than work, school for the kids and working around the house, which is usually about all that is going on around here! I do have two pictures of Chance's latest project: breeding bearded dragons...

Here are the eggs in our homemade incubator, which is an old cooler with holes drilled in the top, an aluminum tray on bricks with an underwater heater and a thermometer basically, should suffice, I wasn't going to spend the fortune they wanted for a "real" incubator... We'll see how many of the eggs make it, they supposedly should hatch in 60 to 80 days...

The parental units... Both of which they got for free off of the 'board' at the local PetCo, including the cages and other stuff...

Other than that, not much going on. I suppose the holidays are FAST approaching, so there is that to get ready for, I can't believe it's nearly time to drag out the Christmas stuff from the attic, where does the time go?? Chance is also going to try out for basketball, so hopefully he makes the team as he really wants to play, I think that is next Thursday, and of course Tanner and Taylor have their "Halloween" event at their school at the same time, so I guess Carolyn and I will have to start flipping a coin to see who gets to go to which school as I'm sure being in the same district, both schools will frequently have events on the same nights... :( I suppose that's about it, perhaps I'll take some photos this weekend, but I really hate my 'new' camera, and my old one is now broken after being dropped with the lens out, I really need to get a new one, maybe I'll get one for Christmas... :)

Hamster Derby...

Yeah, I have nothing important to blog about, so I'll leave you with pictures of the Hamster Derby... At the store my kids insist they need to go to nearly every day! :)

Taylor and Tanner waiting their turn...

Race about to begin, Tanner's hamster went to sleep and went nowhere, Taylor's just sat there, although Taylor's did well in the practice runs, guess he wore himself out in practice... :)

Chance taking his turn, his hamster came in first in the first race, but then got knocked out in the finals...

What a scam these hamsters are, the hamsters themselves are practically free, it's the supplies, cages, balls, food, etc that costs all the $$... If that's what the kids want to spend their allowance on though, so be it... Although I end up buying all the food for all the pets, and half the time the kids con me into buying the rest of it as well... :)

Anyway, the kids had fun, now I have to go see if it has stopped raining so I can finally finish getting the Bobcat running again, which I've been working on all freaking weekend! I HATE being greasy, have I mentioned that?? :)
