Milk Jugs

Last year, Chelsea was wasting time on pintrest. She discovered an igloo made out of milk jugs. We decided we should make one. We've been saving milk jugs ever since.

Basically, while still at school we thought we'd get enough milk jugs and make the igloo over the summer. I mean, who doesn't want a milk jug igloo in the summer? We had our entire closet stuffed with milk jugs. Several apartments were even helping save them, not knowing why.

So now, quite a while later, the igloo is yet to be made. We still haven't gotten enough jugs. Well, I guess I can't honestly say that since I haven't counted them in a while. Anyway, they have been stored in my garage, in my room, and in a storage room in my basement. My family still saves all them for me. Slowly, we are making progress on the number.

My mother hasn't been too fond of the idea. Unlike most mothers, she doesn't want her house to be full of milk jugs. Crazy, right? While at work today, my dad texted me and said "call me about milk jugs, please." I panicked. I knew they were stressing my family out, but I wasn't ready to give up on it. I called Julia, and through her I decided with Chelsea and Staisha that we do still want to make this igloo, and as soon as we can all have a weekend off of work, we will make it happen.

I came home and explained this to my dad. He was okay with it. I think. He and Mitchell were cleaning out the garage and wanted the milk jugs to be stored somewhere else. I thought that was understandable. So I moved four giant garbage bags full of jugs into the basement. I didn't mean to, but I left a box full of them on the driveway.

My dad came home from the gym around eight. He threw the door open and said, "Sorine! Come help me clean the milk jugs up! They're all over our lawn!" Yeah, guess the wind wanted to try and make an igloo, too.

So, if you happened to drive by our house today and wondered why we had milk jugs in our grass, don't worry. It's just me attempting another craft. ;)
