	Yet another sideway picture. I could, I suppose, rotate this with Photoshop or something, but that would require too much effort. This is a spiffy tower that Button built.
	I think that this is a picture of the boy doing school. Either that or documentation of how messy our office is. Nettie tells me that Jacob was placed here because he would not obey and do school any other place.
	Rice with junk on top.
	I am guessing that the umbrella was placed here to prevent the boy from seeing his siblings, thereby allowing him to accomplish a minimal (as opposed to none) amount of school. Nettie tells me that the boy wanted to work under the umbrella, and while under the umbrella, he got record amounts of work done, and all of it correct. I say use the umbrella every day.
	My neighbor has a chimney. My neighbor's chimney has a hole in it. My neighbor's chimney is about to have another hole in it.
	Bippity wanted a picture of her newly cut bangs. Here is that very same picture (and there was much rejoicing).
	Nettie took a tour through the house one day with the camera, and this is what she saw (MESS).






	Some girls decided to tag the door with Spencerian graffitti.


	Mudge took pictures of a cute dog and a stupid dog.

	Geneva drawing from nature (orange tree leaves).

	Beads. Lots of beads. Beads for Math. Math is fun. Beads are fun.
	Nettie's Bulky Washcloth.
	The boy playing a computer game.
	Burnt toast.
	Now this is just silly...
	So is this.
	Also silly. Way too much silly.
	Silly.
	Silly.
	Silly.
	Silly.
	Silly.
	The washing of the face.
	More silly.
	Kids having fun with the camera. I'll have to have a talk with Nettie about this.
	Meditation, yoga, yogurt, whatever.
	Again with the silly.
	The torturing of the dog.
	Picture of a picture on a monitor (why???).
	This is quiche. Real men don't eat quiche. I did not eat quiche (except when I did).
	By Mooms.

	Moving day. This is the big room switch. Much chaos.



	The boy now has a room all to himself. It is even clean (it will never be this way again).
	New girly room.
	New girly room.
	New girly room.
	New girly room.
	New girly room.
	New girly room.
	New girly room.
	Boy room.
	Boy room.
	HEY! What are those animals doing on my bed?

	This is one rediculous Roo.
	This dog is really dumb. Stupid even.
	We really need to stop taking pictures sideways.
	Mudge had a bithday this month. Happy Birthday Mudge!!! As we can all see, Mudge's birthday cake did not turn out very well.
	I'm sure it tasted good, but...
	This and the next several pictures are from Mudge's birthday party. Happy birthday mudge!!








	Me...







	Miss Jupe.



	Poobie's embroidery project.


	Monster!


	This month (May 23 - May 27) I flew up to Minnesota to see Pa & Ma. I hadn't been to F-town in a great many years, so it was time I went. Here I am arriving at MSP.
	Relaxing in the porch.
	We walked around two lakes (Budd and Sissiton), but not on the same day. This geese were swimming in Budd lake.
	Pa & Ma, by Budd lake.
	Pretty crab tree in the neighbor's yard. The next day, all the flowers were gone.

	We went golfing. This is a great picture of my bald head.

	Nice golf cart!

	Relaxing after a (much too long) 18 holes.
	Nettie wanted a picture by a sign. Here it is, Nettie. This is at the start of the bike trail (on lake Sissiton).

	Yup. You guessed it. Jacob has started karate. Wouldn't want to mess with this (well, maybe just a little).
	HI-YAA!
	My wife took this picture. Our tramploine mat needs to be replaced. The kids have simply jumped this mat to death.


	Silly Boxer Dog!
	The day the new trampoline mat arrived. Jacob just had to mess with it.
	These things are a real pain to get on...
	This is my new electric weed eater. I used to have a gas one, but that broke. This new electric weed eater is REALLY powerful (I think I could cut down a tree with this thing!). The first time I used this, it drew blood on several places on my arm from stones getting thrown up.
	Success! Nice new mat.
	Another wife-shot. This is the rotten old mailbox post that I needed to replace.
	Old mailbox.
	Half constructed new mailbox post holder thingy.
	This is a great picture of my bald head.



	Finally, the finished product. Sorta reminds me of the Mexican flag.
	Mudge.
	Mooms.
	The first day of the swimming season (at least for us). The public pools are only open in the summer around here.
