Woodworking
There are times I just need to do something with my hands. There is genuine satisfaction in building something. I had a few extra hours to sneak out to the shop this month and built a few toys from scrap wood for the kids.

A cowboy Colt revolver for the boys. Phillip has been convinced all week that he needs a pistol. So I planed down an old floor board and rough cut the shape of a Colt revolver. I made two, in case there were any mistakes. Just as I was drilling the last hole on the drill press, the hammer broke and the drill shredded the gun. I was a little dissapointed. But I had a backup. After a few hours of sanding, it turned out okay.
A flintlock pirate pistol for the boys. I figured it wasn't a good idea to have one gun with two boys, but didn't want the hastle of making another Colt revolver, so I decided to make an old flintlock. The boys keep going back and forth about whether they want the "cowboy" or "pirate" pistol.

I love those toys! Well done. Handmade wooden toys become heirlooms ; ) I'm sure the kids will love those for generations.
Absolutely love the Christmas updates from your family. Rita is growing so much, and we love seeing the further development of the boys into their unique personalities. Kelli said Janeece's hair looked really good int he Pioneer Square picture with the kids (Dusty your hair is rarely as pretty, but i will let you know when it is). Wish we could spend the season with ya'll
