Reason #819 to Marry an Art Major –

Alternate title – My Husband is a Genius.

So the Moonpie’s birthday is today. When we asked her what she wanted, the only thing she could come up with was a church for her Barbies. She already has the Barbie Townhouse and the Barbie Glamour Camper, but felt like they needed a church. Guess what? Mattel doesn’t MAKE a Barbie church. It probably has something to do with the fact that Barbie has no appropriate church clothes.

So, JD decided to BUILD one.

The church had to have stained glass windows of course. So we told Rachel that we needed to color some filters for dad’s camera. What can I tell you? She believes everything we say.

Before he glued the steeple on, he hid a note inside. He wouldn’t tell me what it said. Probably something like, “I made this whole thing while your mother played Bejeweled on Facebook 342 times.”
