The things kids will do for Pokemon cards


 Oliver's new obsession is Pokemon cards and they've become useful currency in our house. You get 10 in a pack, and he'll do all sorts of jobs to earn them.

One Pokemon card earned by washing windows, inside and out.


This is our cat Lilly. We've had her for about 11 years. Has she ever appeared on this blog before? She's not very social, but this day she came out to play Pokemon.

Found this selfie on the camera after I taught Oliver to use the timer. 

Here is my neighbor Chris. He helped me drop a huge limb off the tree in the back yard. And he didn't demand Pokemon cards for helping me. But I did offer him some beer.


Oliver earned one Pokemon card for helping me gather the firewood from the limb we dropped.

Here is a grappling hook I made to pull down widow-makers -- large dead branches, hung up in the top of the trees-- before they fell down on someone..

Zaeda will also do odd jobs for Pokemon cards, but she doesn't play with them. It just bugs her brother when she gets them.
