Today after church I'm taking the family to Indiana for apple pickin', pumpkin kicking, and for donuts that melt in your mouth. Up yours Osama bin Laden.
“That was not just a bunch of stuff that got destroyed, it was ME!”
(Sorry this a bit of an afterthought,seeing everything is sold except for the stool, I'm a lazy blogger)
"This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time."
If for a second you're thinking I'm copying an IKEA catalog, you're wrong, it's Fight Club dude. 1999 man, it was another 2-3 years before I even heard about this thing called IKEA. Another 1-2 years before my smoking hot wife and I filled our first apartment with their cheap particle board whatnot.
When was this layout original and fresh? Am I fresh?
Anyways, I like it. The folks on Craigslist couldn't get enough, got a bunch of replies just for the pictures.
"Only after disaster can we be resurrected."
"Hey, you created me. I didn't create some loser alter-ego to make myself feel better. Take some responsibility!"
I might of been obsessed with everything Chuck Palahniuk back in the day. good times.
I will definitely be offering this again, think about it, maybe even posting a whole room on Craigslist. The possibilities...

The Franklin Family Farm
The second annual Gagne/Franklin trip to the farm is fast approaching, I had thought I shared some pictures before, but it turns out just one, in this post.
I can't wait for all the small town antique shops, shooting bottles with the .38 Special, watching the kids catch lightning bugs, and building massive bonfires. Well here are some more photos, I was obsessing over learning Photoshop vintage effect at the time.
Oh, and a quick recap about the farm: been in Jayson’s family since 1863, nothing on the property dates later than the 1960s (except the foosball table), literally filled to the brim with antiques circa 1860s-1930s, two barns, one chicken coop, back country awesomeness.

Dad are you selling my toys?
Whenever I head into the kids room and grab some toys my oldest gets suspicious because I may or may not have sold a couple of her Fisher-Price toys at some point. I mean, who’s keeping track of all these toys?
Today her and her sister picked the lock on their door (j/k) and came out wondering what I was doing with her computer and dolly. Only props my dear…so far.
A bit of a picture overload but if you have a beating heart in your chest you’ll find one you just love. I think I might include one with Lucy (the youngest) in the Etsy listing, if all goes over well this might be the beginning of some sort of Etsy stage-parenting disaster.
Update: Here's the listing
