Saturday Projects

We had a pretty productive day today. The girls and I decided we would make our scarecrow. As we were going down our front steps, which we rarely use, we noticed them feeling loose. Upon closer inspection, I saw that they were way too dangerous to use much longer. I love our little rustic log cabin but those steps were beyond rustic. They were rotten! So the hubby had an unexpected project for the day. I think he did a pretty good job on our new steps. I'm so thankful that I have a husband that knows how to do these kinds of projects.

While the hubby was out getting supplies, the girls and I worked on our "pirate" scarecrow. Since we love the East Carolina Pirates, we made ours sporting his pirate shirt and his pirate bandanna. We couldn't find our flag, but we put him near our pirate wreath. We aren't finished yet. I still have to find a yellow mum to go along with the purple and pot them. I also want to find our ECU bandanna and flag. I don't have a clue what to do with those handless sleeves. Anyway, we had a fun time working on it and I found it quite funny when I heard that my neighbor called out to it thinking it was Caroline. It's a good thing he was quite a distance away. I sure hope Caroline doesn't look like that!


I wonder how many people will think that this is a real person when they walk up on our porch?
