. . . staying out of the way . . .

. . . cheto is still at our house . . . 
. . . working his painting magic . . .
. . . i'm actually feeling 
slightly high today . . .
. . . refinishing countertops 
is stinky business! . . .
. . . so, colby and i 
needed to hit the road . . .
. . . we took a much needed 
trip to deseret industries 
with a yukon full of stuff . . .
{lately i've been frequenting goodwill with my donations ~ 
they're so close to home. 
but i was feeling a little guilty about my recent d.i. boycott ~ 
what with them being owned by our church and all ~ 
even though the last time i went there, 
they had the nerve to reject 
my no-longer-needed christmas decorations. 
today, though, we had time to kill.}
. . . on the way back, 
we stopped off 
at the temple . . .
. . . just to walk around and, 
hopefully, wear colby out . . .
. . . so he'd take 
a long winter's nap . . .
{i don't like parks and i absolutely hate sand!}
. . . turns out today was 
"finish taking down christmas lights"
 day at the temple . . .
. . . lots of cherry pickers 
and other heavy machinery 
to oooooh and aaaaaah about . . .
. . . but colby's favorite spot 
was this one ↓
on the east side of the temple . . .
. . . he must have gone 
up the ramp . . .


. . . and down the stairs . . .
. . . approximately one billion times . . .



. . . he also heard me say . . .
{about that same number of times}


. . . "stay on the sidewalk, bud" . . .

{he had a great time, 
but his nap still only lasted fifty minutes}
