Silly Daughters

Katie and Mandy helped me sort through some yard sale items last weekend. 
One of the things Bill really wants me to part with is this "fireplace". 
I bought it at an auction several years ago...I don't exactly know why. 
Probably because it was only $3.00. 
I mean, how could I resist?
 
Anyway, I'm not quite ready to part with this. I know it's been gathering dust
(and who knows what else) out in the garage ever since I bought it. 
BUT...I'm thinking it might make for some fun yard art. 
To humor me my daughters created their version of yard art with it. 
Here's Katie's Instagram photo of their "art" ~ complete with her "witty" caption!
 
My mom insists on putting this janky fireplace in the garden somewhere so Mandy
and I insisted on styling it up with other random things found in her garage.

Ok, maybe I'm a little crazy, but I could so see that used out in the yard. Somewhere in just the perfect spot. Maybe not as "pretty" as your girls made it to be, but I could definitely see it. The birds and squirrels could use a cozy garden spot to perch upon. Isn't it great to have kids who give us a hard time? They must keep you laughing!
