When the bough breaks...

 The snow storm last weekend did a number on the trees in town.  Unfortunately, the tree at my parents house was not the exception to the rule.  About a third of it collapsed.  Part of the collapse led into the alley all the way to the dumpsters, and the rest collapsed into the dog pen. 
 The fence took the brunt of the collapse:
 With the help of a couple of good neighbors, we were able to clean the part of the tree that was blocking the dumpsters up.  My mother and got most of picked up and put it in the driveway for later.  We were sore for days!!!
 Proof of all our hard work:
 Thankfully, the elders quorum from church came later in the week and cleaned out all the branches in the dog pen.

Hot Sauce!

Lee likes to put hot sauce on almost everything he eats.  Kim demanded a taste of the hot sauce.  She wasn't expecting it to burn and started to cry.  She then demanded a band-aid to make it feel better...
