On the Homefront

While I was playing at the beach, the boys were away for a marching band competition, so Craig decided to take Camille apple picking!  This is the kind of thing that we did in Manassas before Camille was born, so she kind of missed out, being the youngest; I'm glad she got the chance finally!

How cute are these two?

Looks like they couldn't have had better weather!  Once they were home, they got to work fixing something that's been bothering us for a long time: the blinds in our garage windows.  They technically worked just fine, but they were absolutely disgusting-- cobwebby, dead-buggy messes.  Blinds are hard enough to clean, but blinds in a garage???  Impossible. 

And that's just the window sill!  The blinds were layers upon layers of the same!

Craig finally decided to just pull all of them off the windows and throw them away.  Then he put frosted glass stuff over the windows so people can't see into our garage, but we don't have the same kind of cleaning problem now.

Three of the four windows finished (and you can see why we don't want people seeing in)!

Final product!

Well done, Craig and Camille!  MUCH improved!

Then they made apple cobbler with all those fresh apples!
