So here is the quick version of the story that inspired this piece of art: While at dinner with the in-laws, we asked how their new neighbors were. Dad said they were great, except for when "he poops on my lawn". To mom's dismay and embarrassment, we busted up laughing. What a random thing to say! So it's been the "phrase of the day" any time we see each other. I thought it would be funny for Father's Day to make him a sign that said "Don't Poop On My Lawn". I had it all planned out and it was going to cost me absolutely nothing. I took a scrap of wood from the pile left over from the deck, and a magnifying glass. It took me a little over an hour (mostly because it was a little cloudy now and then). I think it turned out EXACTLY as I wanted it to be.
Only there was one problem that Justin pointed out a few hours later when he got home...do you see what it is? I wrote PEE instead of POOP...Justin told me that's what I get for staying up after a 12 hour night shift instead of going to sleep. 
So...since it's been raining ever since, I had to go to the craft store and buy a wood burning kit. Thanks to Michael's for taking Robert's 50% off coupons, I only had to pay about $15 for the whole kit. I didn't know that they made such a thing...I guess I just assumed that everyone used a magnifying glass to burn wood...anyways, I redid it, but I don't like how it turned out.
You can see the difference in the frame above and below...I think that the one below turned out really sloppy. Oh well... it was a good idea anyway.
Hilarious!!
