CitaPita...Carmen

:rofl2: And I've spent many writing this one!

This is where I admit that I don't like pumpkin anything. Pumpkin pie grosses me out, and even the smell of a jack-o-lantern makes me ill. I do, however, like John Oliver.

We are officially back inside Polly Luna. As you can see by my ticker, we are fast approaching the point at which all work will have to stop for the year. There are several things hanging out on our "must do/must finish" list so this weekend we thought we'd get some of those out of the way. First up was to add the aluminum trim to the corners and hide the seams in the wall panels with strips of wood. This was an uneventful endeavor. Next we set to work trimming out baseboard. For this we went with just a basic shoe molding. At least we thought it was basic. You see, we bought the trim

Thank you all for the continued encouragement! It really keeps us moving on this. I love those little MGBs! The strange thing is that after all that work sanding and priming, painting was the really hard part because we were afraid to mess it up. So I can totally relate to putting the project aside. I can only say that spraying on the paint was the most rewarding thing we've done so far and worth the risk. You can do it! Thanks! We definitely tried to stick with the classic look. The Travco had a very retro look for it's time, perfect for a 50's inspired theme.

We have a Doctor Who smiley? How did I not know this!

Just went and entered. I'll take any excuse to get to the Fort twice this year!

That is crazy. Give me another two months and I'll be able to build my own Olaf in my front yard free of charge. Thanks, mother nature!

I did not know that an inflatable mooning Santa existed, but now I fear that I want one very badly. Wonder what my home owners association would say? *Evil Laugh*

Helicopter? That's so last century. Santa uses a TARDIS to deliver gifts. Geez.

:holysheep: So basically, If I'm in the 1600 loop I'm going to need blackout blinds to sleep, yes? On the flip side, the girls will love it!

That stinks! Hope you are were able to save them. Cute picture of you and your daughter, though!

Does anyone know where the throw is sold?

Agreed! Ok, now I have a new line to memorize...

"Why yes, DH, I do need another throw blanket." Just practicing now for the inevitable...

Today we took Polly Luna out to the tire shop where she got some very badly needed new tires. First new shoes she's had in nearly two decades. We're shifting back to inside work tomorrow. I am so glad about that, I'm anxious to finish what we started in there! For now, here are some glamour shots we took of Polly on the drive home from the tire shop. You can really see how the paint color is affected by light. When it's shady, the paint is a dark teal, when it's bright out it's a true aqua.

Agreed. :) And also why I'll be shelling out $16 for pony rides in a little over a month.

No helmets were needed in April 2013.

Okay, this thread might have just changed my retirement plans. I had never even considered working as a CM before and now I really want to. Any chance you can get a recruiting bonus, Lou?

Ooh! I might have to stop by at lunch and check it out. Jack Skellington is my DD's favorite.

Getting closer! :) Hope you have a fantastic time! How long do you get to stay?

Those character pictures are wonderful! What a happy crew. :) Also, is it just me, or does the guy in the blue shirt in your second Test Track picture look like he was about to toss his cookies?

What, no cornbread? I really like the look of those prices!

Great update and beautiful kids! I especially love that pictures of your DD with the lego girl. She looks so radiantly happy!

$8 does seem a touch high for what it is, but I'll be shelling it out x2 anyhow. The girls love it and they're only this little once.

Woo hoo! A fresh report and off to a great start. :) Excited to hear more!
