Yesterday the Cadet got new oil and hydro fluid, which also meant a new rear gasket. The rear PTO hooked up OK and today we put on the tiller. Everything’s working – sort of. We can’t get the Cadet to stop throwing the belt, and when the brake is on it creeps backwards. But I got the lights working…

I received two little house (huisje) kits for Christmas from my brother. They are brick houses that you build using mortar and a trowel. Owen and I built this one together and once we figured out the directions—which were only in Dutch—then it went quickly. However in my haste to build it before the cement set up I didn’t follow the directions closely and had to rebuild the side window so it got a little messy. The cool thing about the kit is that you can soak the house in water and the mortar will dissolve so you can build it again with the extra mortar packets that come with.

This last weekend we took the drive up to Pop-Pop & Linny’s hobby farm. We hadn’t been there since they bought Clover, a Jersey heifer. Plus, we didn’t have any snow cover down here. What’s a winter without sledding?(Click on the slideshow to see the photos at Picasa.)

Check out this cool Playmobil house/barn. It is technically a dollhouse, though I like to think of it as just some old-world, old-timey place to put the Playmobil guys. Right now you can see it has become a police station. It has also been a house, hospital, and a building attached to a castle. The kids know it belongs to me as do several other Playmobil toys. Some sets were purchased before the kids were even born because only Playmobil would make bike race-themed toys and some, like this house/barn, were purchased later as sort of an incentive to be good. “Be good and you can play with Daddy’s truck and Mommy’s on-site construction work office.”
