On Sunday we ran into the city and bought paint and shingles for the dog house. the boys settledo n navy blue with white trim for the paint ( And deep brown shingles - those were picked becuase they were on sale)

This evening I ran into the dollar store for a few craft supplies to make Rainbow Man a set of Fox Ears for an upcoming school play. Right beside the sheets of felt I needed were little wooden letters and a cute carved piece of wood on which to glue them. Since we had been wondering how to make a name plate for Smokey's dog house, I snapped them up and brought them home for the boys to Yea or Nay.

They approved.

I just finished painting them - or shall I say I just started painting them. The paint we bought sucks the big one. It's very very very thin. I'm guessing it will take four coats to get it on so that it looks the color it should. And that sicks because we bought the little cans of paint - NOT the big ones.

Sigh
