homemade twister

i really wanted to play twister tonight, so i got out some paper and some crayons and some friends. things were a little too easy- so we invented twister, the college addition (for more advanced players). making the spinner was a little tricky- but with a little team effort, things really came together. this was a wholesome activity.

rip, my sandals (april 2005-november 2008)

these sandals have survived four summers, several dog attacks, and have been lost and found hundreds times. a few days ago, in a rousing round of three way ping pong with the nephews, they finally went the way of all the earth. some of you will be glad to see them go, but I will forever mourn their loss.
p.s. if anyone has any experience bronzing stuff, i'd love to talk with you.
