Work & Life…

mac600Crazy week for me at work.  The annual Choir and Orchestra Easter presentation, First Easter, is coming up on the 5th of April.  I didn’t realize that, so I took off this coming week for Spring Break since Kayce will be out.  I don’t know how I missed that, but I’m going to be working some of this week just to get ready for the program.  I’ve spent several hours already with my good friend “The Soldering Iron” making a 3 to 5 pin DMX cable.  Pat and I came up with, what should be, a really awesome lighting/stage setup.  I’ve been working on making it work.  I had to do some electrical work to get power to the lights on stage, then create the cable so I can control the lights and a hazer from the booth.  We are using Martin Mac 500’s and 600’s, they are moving head intellegant lights, for effect lighting.  All our principal lights are traditional theatrical lights.  It’s alot of fun, and I get to teach myself alot of neat stuff.  I really enjoy my job.  So, I’m not too bummed about spring break, I like this particular part of my job. 

mva_skin-01We also had a great night last night…  Kayce and I got a chance to have a date night.  I really wanted to (Don’t know why…) go see Monsters Vs. Aliens in IMAX 3D.  I had never seen a movie in IMAX, before… So we went.  It was pretty good.  I don’t think I would take Parker to see it yet.  Some of the humor was alittle crude for young children, plus it might be alittle scary for young kids.  Especially at the beginning when Susan transforms into the giant and is promptly and forcably imprisoned by a top secret government agency.  But on the whole, the movie was good, and the 3D was better than most I’ve seen.  We got there alittle late (hung up at the Popcorn counter…), so our seats weren’t the best.  Our seats were great at T.G.I. Fridays, right next to our food.  Very convient.

Kayce in Cross Street Live

Here are some shots of Kayce from Cross Street Live last night.  It was really great.  All the kids seemed to love it, and I’ll admit, I enjoyed it too.  Great job everyone!

The Dressers

Here are the pictures of the two dressers I spent this winter refinishing. I say winter, because I started this process in October. I didn’t get much farther than stripping one of the dressers. A week ago, I started again. The red one went in parker’s room, and he did alot of the red painting. The stained is mine. I like how they turned out. Glad that project is finished.

Our Weekend

Here are some pictures from this weekend.  We had a pretty boring, normal weekend.  Kayce ran around town doing errands on Saturday.  I watched the boys, and we spent alot of time outside since it was so nice.  When Carson was sleeping and Parker was watching a movie, I was in the garage refinishing a couple dressers for Parker and myself.  They turned out pretty good.  The main thing though, is that they are done and we can get them out of the garage.  Yeah!  I watch a great movie from Netflix on Saturday night: Tranformers!  If you haven’t seen it, go get it.  It is long, and very “actiony”, but good.  If you liked The Incredible Hulk, X-Men, Spiderman…  Those kind of superhero movies.  You will probably like this.  The effects were great!  I loved it.  I watched it again last night.  Sunday, we went to church, then to Kentucky for Macon’s birthday party, which was fun.  Parker and Carson stayed with the Floz while Kayce and I went home to get ready for our small group.  We are still a small group, but a great group.  After group, we had to drive back to Kentucky to get the boys…  I thought not getting them, but I couldn’t talk Kayce out of it.  That was pretty much our weekend.  It was a good one.  Not nearly as busy of the past few weeks, but still alot of fun. 

What was your favorite Birthday Gift?

Parker’s 4th birthday is this week.  He’s already gotten several gifts, and in addition the haul he collected over Christmas, his room is about to explode.  We are trying to clean out his toys and only keep the ones he really plays with, or are age apprioprate. 

This led me to the question…
