Look Ma, No Skill!

Nathan and Katie and I finished the bunny cage today. We added a door, it really needed a little door in the front. We are definitely not builders, we were trying to shave down the door with the side of a saw, so it would fit. But we are determined. You can do a lot with determination and little skill. And cute bunnies, and chickens ambling around checking your pockets for food.

Nathan is so amazing with his drill, he just gets in there and gets it done. There's something for creating a person who grows up and is able to fix stuff with tools. It's very satisfying. Much better than the other side of him that makes faces at Emma when she's crying or telling her that all the shows she likes are retarded. That is less satsifying, and yet - the same person.

So now we have a cute little chicken area and bunny area and the big fat horse. That I'm scared to put the kids or myself on. But we're getting there.

The horse has been here 18 days and today she gave a soft whinny when she saw me. Aww. I know she wanted food, but still, hey, she's talking to me after all this silence. Silence is bigger when it's furry and weighs 1400 pounds. I think she likes us.

Determination and little skill, I'm happy with that. The blind leading the big fat horse.
