Today another beautiful day. So I gave the dogs a treat. They were supposed to take turns but sometimes they just couldn't wait. They love their doggie ice cream. Then later me,Joe and James went for Ice Cream! yummy.

Madi is laying on the kitchen floor playing, and she says, "Look, there's a skull on the ceiling!" For Easter, she got this starfish that you put in water and it grows. It was sitting in a bowl of water by the sliding glass door, the sun was shining in on it, and somehow it reflected a skull onto the ceiling!


Today was such a beautiful day! Me and James were in the backyard on the deck playing in the sun. Riley and Juneau were there too. But James got his first cut on his finger not sure how, so i put a bandaid on his finger but during his nap it disappeared. Than we went on a walk and took the dogs along with us it got cooler outside though.
This picture is actually from Thursday. It was an all school art project. The kids each got two hands cut out. One in aluminum and one in copper. They then tooled them. The aluminum was much easier than the copper. They were able to take the aluminum one home and the copper ones will be put on poles and auctioned off at next years school auction as garden art. I helped all day with this. And have cuts on my hand from the copper to prove it. These are the finished products from Farrell's class. I very much enjoyed this and took some scraps home and have not been able to stop working with it. I think it's my new obsession.
Here are a couple of items that were found in the attic of Nikki's new house. There is a lot more stuff up there and I am anxiously awaiting Sat. morning when I am going to go up there to look around. The picture shows 4 guys sitting on the porch of Nikki's house and the back says, "My roommates" and lists their names. This is a fun new puzzle to solve. I am trying to date the photo - maybe the 40's? I plan to go to the county recorder's office and look up the past deeds to the house. I believe there is some very interesting history there. One of the men is identified as Guy Easterly, and if you google his name, he may be a quite noteable writer. Who knows what other treasures are up in that attic!

Happy Easter! Today was James 1st Easter. The Easter Bunny gave him books and some toys. Plus I hid some eggs around the house and he found them. Then it was the dog's turn Riley got most of the treats though must be the Beagle in him. Then we went to Colleen's house and hunted for eggs there too. Stephen was nice to James and gave him two of his eggs, that was very sweet of him. James had such a busy day! Plus the food was soo yummy. Plus we all celebrated Adam and Aunt Mary Lou's Birthday.
