Artwork by Uncle Josh and Therin

Therin has been asking for mail recently....Uncle Josh to the rescue! He sent Therin some drawings of Superheros. Therin said, "He missed some." so he added a few himself. He has the picture posted on the magnet strip by his bed. He LOVES Uncle Josh!

Name Change

Kya has been requesting to be called "April" recently; after the reporter April in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Just who I had hoped her childhood hero would be!

April 24th, 85 degrees

Round and round they go, running through the sprinkler for an hour and a half.

Enthralled by Grandpa Doc's Hunting Stories

The kids couldn't get enough of Grandpa's hunting stories over the weekend. The number of hunts he's gone on in recent years has declined. He better schedule a few more so he has some new material.

STUDY BEFORE



BEDROOM BEFORE



BEDROOM AFTER




Travis had an unexpected day off Friday, so rather than chill he was itching to refinish the floor in his study. It was a lot faster and less dusty than the upstairs so we're thankful for that. The floor looks great. Thanks honey!! Now I just have to load the pictures from the before and afters to the blog from a new camera I haven't played with yet (soon but not tonight-we still have an hour or so of things to put back in the study). Travis also finished his hot box outside so we transferred our spinach seedlings into it on Sunday. I can't wait for fresh greens!

Fairyland 101

Kya's friend, Gabby, has had an imaginary friend named Harry for several months now. In the last month, Kya has been talking about her "guards." Last Thursday night, Kya informed me at dinner, that she was going to Fairyland for 7 weeks with her guards, Harry and Bongee (prounounced kind of like bungee but an o instead of a u).

This is what we've since learned about Fairyland:

The address to Fairyland (should you want to mail anything to Kya) is: 1 mile.
There is another Fairyland beyond this Fairyland but it takes a very long time to get to.
Kya has two modes of transportation: a green, blue and pink van which she can drive, as well as a magic carpet.
Harry and Bongee eat fish from the Coop which she gets for them on Thursdays and Wednesdays with her car. They also eat: scorpions, snakes, beetles and crabs.
You play games in Fairyland-Yahtzee being the most popular.

If anyone has any further details they'd like to know about Fairyland, please leave them as a comment and I will relay the information once I have consulted with the Fairyland authority.
