Legos

When I was a little girl, I remember loving to build with Legos.  My siblings and I would spend hours--days even--creating the perfect Lego masterpieces.  Granted, we sometimes disagreed on the meaning of  "Masterpiece".  (My brothers spent most of their time building cool spaceships and guns, while my sister and I built Lego Mansions.)

These days I often find all three of my children playing nicely around a huge pile of Duplo Legos. (No regular Legos for now...  I am not ready to find my heals in pain from stepping on teensie weensie Lego pieces).

This morning the task at hand was building a Lego tower taller than Ashlyn...  Once that was accomplished, the goal was taller than Ezra and then Eliza.  

But, soon after that goal was met, their thirst for the "tallest Lego tower ever" began.  

And, while thee didn't quite meet that lofty goal, they did create something taller than me. And for them, that was like winning the lottery.  Go kids. :)

A Monster of a Project.... But done nonetheless!

I spent the last 6 weeks designing, coding, and re-coding an eCommerce Shop and Blog for a very nice lady named Janae of Thoughts in Vinyl.  I created a custom design and then seamlessly integrated it between a brand new Magento installation and a Wordpress Blog.  She had to create over 400 new products for her store that were formerly on her husband's construction store, poor lady.  But now she has a sweet new shop!  And, did I mention that we transferred all her posts from her Blogger blog to her Wordpress Blog and then redirected them seamlessly so that she didn't lose any links or traffic?  Oh yeah!
