Dihydrogen Monoxide Weapons


We steampunked a couple cheap water guns from Walmart. You can see the full how-to over on instructables.


They'll be perfect to carry when I'm wearing my pith helmet and Soviet aviator goggles on the playa.

Flash's Guardians of the Galaxy Birthday Party

Image
As Axel's birthday falls so close to Halloween, I was hoping to save a little sanity by working his Halloween costume into his party theme. He was really excited about his upcoming Rocket and Groot party, but, three-year-olds being the fickle creatures that they are, on the day of the party he insisted that he would be the Flash and nothing could convince him otherwise.

I'm glad we had already put up a bunch of our Halloween decorations, although it does hide many of the details, like the fresh mounds of dirt on the graves and the bones strewn around the yard.

I'll have to post more photos when it's all done - there's still lots to add!



The snow has pretty much all melted away now, but winter is almost upon us.

Rendezvous 2016

The Yukon Sourdough Rendezvous wrapped up this weekend. It's a fantastic winter festival full of contests, events and people dressing up in gold-rush-inspired costumes.
The weather over the weekend was too warm for the snow sculptors' liking, but Axel and I thought it was fantastic for walking around Shipyards Park and enjoying the sights. Axel said his first word, "dog", last week and he got lots of practice pointing out all the dogs in the park.
