Being on summer break does not mean I sit around the house playing video games and doing nothing. Ok, that is part of my gig right now, but I have been busy crossing things off my list of chores I have to get done before the summer is over. One of those chores was to turn my son's room into a "little boys" room. I had been working on some paintings for him over the last year, and today they finally found a place on his walls.

This post brought to you while listening to Workers Playtime and browsing his site for the lyrics for one of the best break... MORE
