Sometimes We Make a Big Mess

Here's the castle we made for Brenton's Medieval Days project. He and Glenn built it the night before Glenn left for China (thank you, thank you!) and Brenton finished up by mixing drywall plaster and sand (in my kitchen--hence the MESS) and covering the castle. I stepped in with my glue gun to help with the grass and we chopped the head off a dinosaur for the Loch Ness monster. One of those projects when you breathe a HUGE sigh of relief to see it finished and not be ugly.

In Case You're Wondering

If you're wondering why there's a shirt in my freezer, it's because it has gum on it. I read somewhere that if you are so cursed, put the offending item in the freezer and the gum will peel right off. So I did that but it's been a few weeks and I haven't gotten around to peeling it off yet.

So indicative of my life.
