The Challenge

ok so my wife thinks i am a little crazy. Yes, i play with dirt. And to show her that i am not the only one that plays with dirt, i have a Challenge! this is Japanese art called Dorodango. it's made from dirt, tap water, time and lots of patients. I think it's cool. so the challenge is for you to make your own dorodango and send me a picture of it. you can post it on facebook if you wish, but just be sure that Kaylynn is aware of your progress! to help you out, here are a few web pages on how to do it. i am on day 7 of mine, and i am attempting to polish the shine onto it. I even started another with Melissa today. anyway, here you go.

snakes

RAN INTO THIS LITTLE GUY TONIGHT (ON DUTY). IT WAS RIGHT ON HER FRONT STEPS COILED AND SHAKING HIS RATTLE. KINDA COOL. ANOTHER OFFICER CAME UP, GRABBED IT AT THE HEAD, AND DROVE IT OUT OF THE AREA ... UMM YEA ... BETTER HIM THAN ME. THE LADY WAS CONFUSED WHY SHE KEEPS SEEING SNAKES AROUND HER HOUSE. SHE DIDNT LIKE IT MUCH WHEN I POINTED OUT THE OBVIOUS "UMM YOU LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS, THIS WAS THEIR HOUSE FIRST" HER HOUSE SITS RIGHT UP AGAINST THE MOUNTAIN.

TOM'S DAY

WELL HE DID IT! GOOD JOB TOM! NOW COMES THE WAITING GAME. GOOD LUCK!

WEEDS

I never thought of weeds as a problem until these ones were looking at Anson LIKE HE WAS

NOURISHMENT!

CURTAINS

Mom made us some Curtains, and they look great! And of course we had to buy a couch to go with the curtains. They all look good in that room.

DIDN'T DO IT MYSELF, BUT THE STUCCO IS DONE. THE COLOR IS "OATMEAL". AND WE HAVE THE SOFFIT, FACIA, AND GUTTER UP. IT'S LOOKING REALLY NICE OUT THERE! I WISH IT WAS SPRING TIME SO THAT I CAN GET GOING ON THE GRADE OUT THERE.

Bath Update

Well i am almost done the the bath.
Thought i would get a few pictures out there. It got a new tub, new tile, shower doors, sink, mirror, base board and paint. The paint i am told is a shade of green. Sorry to anyone that liked the spiderman blue. I got done with the paint about 2 weeks ago and Kay has already decided she wants to change the color. I said the operative word is "SHE".

ADAM

SORRY ADAM, COULDN'T PASS THIS ONE UP.

GOOD TIMES....

We don't usually pick up hitchhikers... but I'm-a gonna go with my instincts on this one. Saddle up partner!

CARPET IS IN! AND WE ARE LOVING IT!

"EXTRA PROJECTS"

YOU EVER START DOING SOMETHING, AND IN THE BACK OF YOUR MIND THINK....GEE, MAYBE I SHOULDN'T BE DOING THIS RIGHT NOW.....OR......OH IT IS A SMALL PROJECT, IT WONT TAKE LONG....I THOUGHT BOTH THOSE THINGS AS I STARTED THIS LITTLE JEM....
THE IDEA WHAT THAT I WOULD CHANGE THE TILE IN ONE OF THE BATHROOMS. IT ENDED UP THAT WATER HAS BEEN LEAKING BEHIND THE TILE FOR YEARS...AND YEARS...AND YEARS. SO IT ALL CAME OUT. AND I FIGURED SINCE I WAS GOING ALL OUT ON IT, I MIGHT AS WELL REPLACE THE AGEING TUB TOO. IT HAD TO COME OUT IN 2 PARTS.
ANSON BECAME EXTREMELY UPSET TO SEE THAT HIS SPIDERMAN BATHROOM WAS "BROKEN"
