Projects and Pets

Skyler found a book at the library with different projects in it.  He wanted to build the sugar cube ice castle.  Here is his creation:

He spent about a week working on it: building the walls, waiting for them to dry, putting the castle together, making the flags with balls, forming the penguins, then painting them, etc.  He worked so diligently on it.  He is a definite engineer at heart and loves constructing things.

Kylene has always wanted a dog.  Well, when we moved into our new home, we discovered our next door neighbor's have three of them.  (The other side has one, too.)  They work long days, so have hired Kylene to come check on the dogs and play with them on the days they are both at work.  She loves doing it, and loves having her first official job.  I must admit, even I have warmed up to them, which is saying a lot for me.  Bailey's eyes are amazing, Pickles has a playful personality, and Rupert is just Rupert.  It's been fun watching them get to know Kylene as well.
