On Wednesdays, the pool is closed for cleaning. Normally we would head to the beach but Sam & Hayden's room was still a mess from finishing painting and I really wanted to finish that so they were no longer sleeping in my room. As we were picking up and trying to put stuff away, I kept running into this cuckoo clock my mom gave me. Someone had given it to her and she's never taken it out of the box. I thought it would be pretty cool to have. I mean what a better way to tell time then to hear a bird and count how many times it whistles. So the kids & I opened the box, put it together (which was very easy by the way) and managed to hung it up. Not only is it beautiful but every hour we are uplifted by the Cuckoo bird like a band of angels singing then follows 4 little dancers spinning around. We love it. JR has a different opinion. He says it looks like it belongs in some back woods hunting cabin. It does have birds, nuts and berries carved into it. But I like the rustic look, especially the pine cones that dangle down. It adds a special feel to the house that I enjoy.
