crack in the kitchen

Hey there, Master of Toast here. It’s been almost 2 weeks since our last post. We’ve enjoyed the time off from the regular grind, but now it’s time to get back at it. We’ve made a new years’ resolution to continue posting as often as we did before. Hopefully all you Stew-Stalkers out there will “spew” from time to time. Stewland Security is cracking down, and we’d really hate to see the threat level raised to orange peels. And now without further ado, the reason why you stopped by…

Today was a big day for a certain 3 year old. Brinley is a Nursery Ninnie no longer. She is now a Primary Princess. And yes her shoes are on correctly. It’s her legs that are on backwards. Really.

New year, same man. Drew looking mighty handsome in his new suit.

This afternoon Amy told me that even though we are (fabulous) renters, the kitchen was in need of some renovations. It seems a crack had developed near the stove.  At first all I saw was Brinley unwrapping butter to make some brownies…

I hadn’t found the crack yet, but I was lucky enough to catch Brinley licking butter off her fingers. Oh yes she did! 

Mmmm, so flavorful! I bet she’ll never try that again.

Ok, back to work. Brinley’s almost done mixing up her brownie recipe and I still haven’t found this crack that Amy told me about.

Whoops! Egg overboard, and the house began to rumble and shake!

And then, I found the crack.

Here’s a close up before I got to work on the patch job.

Hold on Drew! This was not his earthquake suit. He was about to have his head shaved so he could return to boot camp…er…I mean school tomorrow. You might be a redneck if…

The tremors subsided and I patched that crack right up. Then it was a waiting game for the gut plaster to dry…

Kitchen renovation complete! And oh the reward was sweet!
