Yep, its that time of year again. wrapping paper and tinsel, lights and carolers, building doghouses in the sleet for our dogs (especially our golden retriever). yeah, that pretty much sums up what ive done today, that is, minus the wrapping, tinsel, lights, and carolers. :) it was surprisingly fun at first, my brother and dad and me all working together with power tools...i mean...does it get any better than that? it was all fun and games until it started sleeting. before that logan and i developed a system of nailing in the stud walls. he helped steady the wall and keep it in place while i hammered like a mad man. dad cut out sutds and and rafters while we worked. about the time we started putting on sheet metal on the walls, the sky opened up and down came the sleet. hey, its sleeting right, thats even better than working when its dry :) seriously though, it was pretty cool. we even put on a real roof with house shingles (yep, no water will get into this dog house). what made it really fun was spending time with "the guys" and building something for someone else (even if its just a dog...lol). anyway, im just ready for Christmas to be here!! oh yeah...happy birthday to kim today...officially hitting the big 1-8, congrats to her!

   the music is really cool. you're the computer man! does it only play through once? post some pics from the doghouse thing. mama said she took some. keep us posted on life & snow & puppies. just a funny side note...i hit the wrong key when i was typing "snow" & i typed "snot" instead. just changes the meaning of what i wrote when you think about that! =)
   
   what did you do for your b-day kim?

   Hey, I made an avatar once. I tried the Yahoo 360 blog but I thought is was lame compared to blogger.
