MIA....the new blogger

So I went MIA for awhile....but I am back now. I spent the weekend with my boys at my parents' house. We made a birdhouse, which is a very post-modern structure complete with an abstract expressionist paint job by my oldest son (he's seven and LOVES red). He and grandpa built it and I helped with the paint job. I was the can opener/closer and was allowed to use the yellow and black paint. I think it is fabulous. If I was a bird, I would definitely live in this house! I will post some pictures once it is hung on a tree so check back soon! He has some detailing to finish first.....
