Dianna's Excellent Report Card

Dianna received her report card yesterday. We are so proud of her.

Saturday Activities

My New Garage Pantry

All this came out of my pantry, laundry room, and kitchen! I'm so thankful to have this extra
Storage space!
I didn't realize I had so much salad dressing -- 19 bottles! And 58 various cans of tomatoes! Praise the Lord for His provision for our family!

Surfing on the Sand

So we went to the beach this evening for a nice stroll so we could enjoy the lovely weather. Along the way we saw a pod of dolphins, some driftwood we pretended was a sea monster, and took time out to pose like surfers. Love you all. We had a great day-with tee ball and just relaxing. I will put some pics up on the blobs soon of our allstars. Until next time. Alofa tele.

Dinner with my dear dear wife @ Macaroni Grill

This is was what I ordered when we went out after going to a wedding yesterday. Very yummy! It looks like a picture out of a food magazine.

Family Day Projects

Welcome to Family Day Projects. The show where we follow families that attempt to do something fun and or need to get something done. First up, our do-it-yourselfer decided to make a "run" for his dog. Without a fenced in backyard, Cisco, the family's fun-loving pooch cannot run freely. So first, we take some coated wire and make some loops. We then attatch both ends to two trees in the backyard. Lastly, we take three D-rings and attatch Cisco's leash and voila!

Second project of the day was to attempt to build a hot air balloon. Supplies: 23 gauge wire, wire cutters/pliers combo, tea light candle, a third of a soda can, and tissue paper.Form the wire into a frame that you can hang the tissue paper.Here is a picture of our supplies (minus the tissue paper and candle). Poor design (namely the distance between the can/basket and the balloon) and rushed workmanship equals:

So, the maiden voyage of the Airship Tupua was a little less than stellar. Maybe next time. Talk to you all later.

Random Pictures

Oh! Hello, there. I did not see you standing there. Please come on in. We begin our tour with this suit of armor from the blah-blah-blah period. As you can see, it still has the tags on it. Obviously the knight never saw battle. We can tell by the markings on the helmet that this helmet belonged to the legendary Hawk Man. Here is another look at the suit of armor. Spiffy.

Here are museum's Artists in Residence - Master Painters Jarod and Dianna showcasing their latest master pieces: piggy banks.

Here is a wax sculpture entitled "A Dog and His Boy."

This is an artist interpretation of super hero Dianna saving the city from this massive wreath that came loose and threatened to crush innocent passersby. Dianna swooped down just as the wreath was about a foot from the head of the tallest pedestrian and lifted it to safety.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed your visit to our little museum. Until next time. Be well.
