Mother's Day

No mother!

Karen wanted Mother's Day to be in her crafts room undisturbed, so the boys and I went to get some stuff done at the house.

First we unloaded the dozens of door knobs, pulls, and bathroom accessories. Then we unpacked Luka's elephant I got him from Thailand!



We want to keep Luka excited and Luka loves puzzles, so I decided we'd put together the bas relief on the floor. Ramen (our tiler) needed it done. No better time than the present!


Elite shipping, though they flaked majorly by not shipping the items on time and leaving out about a third of what I bought (argh!), did a great job packing this sculpture.



Only 33 pieces should go together easily!



But each one weighs between 10 and 50lbs!!!




Takes team work. Good thing we've been putting MiracleGro on Ra'am!





Luka approves.

Here is some of Ramen's fine work around the Koi pond. Photos by Ra'am and Noam.







Luka loves it!

We then planted more Bermuda grass where I had started planting grass. Eventhough Luka has a broken leg, he is determined to help. Makes it a lot "easier" on me!



After that Ra'am, Noam, and I began putting up the gates for the goat pasture. We finished one and were starting on the second one when a heavy downpour soaked us. We went back home and found Karen sewing away.
