Oh the MADNESS!!

Dirt…Dirt…and more Dirt!!  AHHHH!  I'm going a little bit crazy from the constant presence of this precious powder fine material.  Max on the other hand loves it!  It's like a giant sand box outside and he has taken full advantage of this opportunity.  As a result to my near loss of sanity Shawn….the big sweetie that he is….has started to tackle the sprinkler system in the hopes that some day their will be grass in our yard!  Boy, is it a monster task!  He is doing this solo - and I'm so grateful for his willingness and knowledge that will help save us some major dough!  Love you Shawn!

 I found these apple boxes and couldn't resist a picture.  Shawn and I had these when we first got married and they have traveled the country with us - Utah to Iowa to Idaho to New York and finally coming full circle back to Washington!

Finally the madness continued with the young men and women at mutual.  They did a "Chopped" food challenge with ingredients that they each had provided.  Some of the dishes weren't too crazy but one dish was insane!!  So bad… ramen noodles cooked in squirt, mixed with instant potatoes turned into potato/noodle balls and set up with pork and bean puree to dip with french bread….GAG!
