Monday I tried to take a hiatus from the strike drama. We had a play date with one of Gwen's friends. The day mostly consisted of art projects, dress up and box fort adventures. (BTW, the box fort is worth it's weight in gold. Just sayin.)

| Rake...and Thatch...and Rake... |
A couple of our friends are in the midst of a huge landscape project and needed to off load some dirt... well... a lot of dirt. Conveniently, I'm always looking for a project and have been wanting to level out the backyard... Let's just say Matt is super excited to get started on this one. I raked and mowed and thatched and mowed and raked and raked and mowed... I lost track... in preparation for dirt application. To which Matt responded with: "Wow, it looks way better now. Do you really think we need to do anything else?" Bah, funny man. Hours after the dirt appeared Gwen realized it was in our back yard and said: "Um, where did all that dirt come from?" Me: "Oh, Mike brought it over." Gwen: "Mike's just going around dumping dirt in people's yards?" Me: "Um, not exactly." Here are some pics of the start of this fantastic project. More to come.
After the play date Gwen and I headed to Costco so we could blow wisely spend some money. Gwen brought along her birthday stash of cash and made a couple pretty awesome purchases including one of these. She picked out the kit that had a weather, robotics and mad science set included. I'm pretty impressed with it. I'm sure you will be seeing some pics of the experiments.
