2nd post for today

This is my second post today, this one will mostly be pictures. This is Abbie's new kitty.
This is Angel.
The fluffy flip flops we made at Abbie's birthday party.
Haley (Abbie's cousin), Rachel, Riley, Tatum, Abbie
The treasure hunt map.
Hunting for clues.
See the shark? They had to handle the guts to get the next clue.

Preparing a test run of our art project. Abbie displays some acrylic paint.
Some color combinations that we tried.
Here is part of the process. You just hold the paint brush as the wheel turns. Paul converted the seed/fertilizer spreader for our art contraption.
I operate the drill - that spins the platform.
This is just a test run. I prefer a different color combination, but we're ready to make the real thing.
Abbie and her cousin, Andrew, who spent the night.
Andrew looking like the cool country boy that he is. It's summer, but he's wearing jeans and boots. He had his mom cut off his t-shirt sleeves. He's imitating the look of his older brother and pulling it off very nicely. Notice the accurately curved bill of his hat. That's exactly how it's supposed to look - a straight bill is not cool.
Our yummy waffles.
Paul's new expresso machine. He made me a cappacino the other day and it was exactly like I get at Starbucks (of course, I milked it and sugared it up).
The picture was supposed to be up with the other art project pictures. The is what the contraption looks like before we add the canvas.
