The House that "Jack aka Cassidy Built

I bought playhouse plans on Ebay for Cassidy to build Hannah a playhouse.
He started on it a couple weeks ago.
He put plexiglass windows in it and built a door. This stuff didn't come with the plans, but with South Dakota winters and all that stuff Hannah drug out there, which btw helped the looks of her room greatly, I couldn't see having snow and rain in there.

The finished product, Hannah wanted it pink, so we settled on the trim being pink instead of the whole house.



It even has a cool front porch and he even carpeted inside.



Hannah loves it and Cassidy did a terrific job on it. Now he's building me a sprinker stand for my garden.

Some serious talk going on here.

Tucker waiting for the irons to get hot.



The finished product.



He was just a little boy,
On a week's first day.
Wandering home from Bible school,
And dawdling on the way.

He scuffed his shoes into the grass;
He even found a catapillar.
He found a fluffly milkweed pod,
And blew out all the 'filler.'

A bird's nest in a tree overhead,
So wisely placed up so high.
Was just another wonder,
That caught his eager eye.

A neighbor watched his zig zag course,
And hailed him from the lawn;
Asked him where he'd been that day
And what was going on.

'I've been to Bible School,'
He said and turned a piece of sod.
He picked up a wiggly worm replying,
'I've learned a lot about God.'

'M'm very fine way,' the neighbor said,
'for a boy to spend his time.'
'If you'll tell me where God is,
I'll give give a brand new dime.'

Quick as a flash the answer came!
Nor were his accents faint.
'I'll give you a dollar, Mister,
If you can tell me where God ain't.'
