skeletons

Trevor's class has been making skeletons this week, they are pretty cool. They are made out of paper plates and they also have to label all of the major bones of the body. Drew and Trevor love science.

wild wednesday

Alysha and Drew had "wild wednesday" at church last night. They looked a little wild. They had so much fun getting all their clothes and dressing up. Drew got comments of looking like Steve Erkel.

Trevor couldn't be left out...

sniff...:(

Our hamster, Piett, died on Sunday. So the boys dug a grave for the poor little guy.
Our animal cemetery keeps getting bigger.
We are down to two cats and a woodchuck who lives under the barn.

work in progress, part 1

For the past several weekends Darrell and the boys have been working out in the woods. They are building a tree/zip line stand. It will be a 30' tower with a zip line attached to it. You will sit on a board and zip down the line approx. 200' :) sounds like fun to me! It started with cutting down some trees to make the path and then holes were dug for the poles and today they are working on the platform floor. Dad and Doug came last weekend and helped put in the poles for the stand.
