Good and Bored

 When you take some days and have a "no screens" rule... well... ya get good and bored, and make a zoo using dominoes.


and learn how to play MASH


and help mom make freezer meals


and build volcanoes out of sand


and when you get good grades on your report cards you get frozen yogurt!


For Easter you get chocolate bunnies!




Nature's dyed eggs.  They were delicious deviled.

So Much

 I take random pictures here and there and everywhere.  I like to think I have an eye for the unusual or that I notice things differently, but I'm not sure about it.  Whenever I go into different church's I look around for art or interesting windows ect.  I liked this painting of Jesus talking to the woman at the well.


It has begun to get warmer here and one day as I rounded the corner from a long and tiring walk this scene made me smile.  The kids, Ben and my home.


I have to be talked into being excited about salad.  These jars help that effort.  Why is getting older so hard?  It feels like maintaining yourself feels like so much effort these days.  Self improvement stinks.


But... I get to rehearse in pretty buildings like this... pinch me


The inside.  I pretended it was my castle all evening.


I made a starburst mirror recently.  It's not too bad but I don't like the gaps.  I'm going to have Ben caulk them.


I tried false eyelashes for the first time recently.  They felt huge.


This was where our big concert was... pretty.

 I'm in the middle behind the pole.


A neighbor kid drew this for me.  I love kid art!


coral cactus... I want one so bad.
