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.

Grace's Senior Prom

Grace and Devon
They weren't supposed to go together to the prom, but Grace's date
got snowed in and so did Devons.
That's why they don't match.

After Prom Party at the Bowling Alley





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.'
