Us lately...

We have been doing a great deal around our little house lately. Lots of changes are going on!

Meet Maizey. She is the newest member of our little family. Weighing in at just 4 pounds she has still proven she can hang with our bigger dogs! I will be writing more about her in the coming weeks - and explain why against all logic we got another dog.

Offspring is pulling straight As in school (as always). He went to his first dance this past Friday. Man my boy is growing up.
It was a costume dance....Can you tell who he went as? He had a good time and seem relieved that he could mark that off his "firsts" list.

My cousin Rob got married a couple weeks ago. It was beautiful! Welcome Kasey to our ever growing family. I wish you both the best!

Offspring got to shoot his new-to-him rifle for his birthday.  The pop cans didn't stand a chance!

We went to the Pumpkin show in Circleville! Had a blast watch Bug and his best bud AJ ride the mechanical bull! Besides sitting for 2 hours in traffic to get there...we all had a great time!


And I have an announcement, but you will have to see the next post for that...

Where minimalism and creativity and a love for guns come together...

(Yes the slide actually moves back and the mag falls out!)

 

Bug has been interested in firearms for as long as I can remember. He bought his first gun encyclopedia when he was 2.

 

Fast forward 10 years and enter minimalism.

 

You get a young man with a creative streak that chooses to make his own toys guns

 out of cardboard instead of clutter his room with bulky plastic ones.

 

Don't get me wrong we have our share of Nerf guns BUT

as Bug explains

"I am using my imagination and ingenuity,

keeping boxes out of a landfill,

and making something that can still be recycled when I'm done playing"

 

How can I say no to that?
