Why do all kids love toads when all their mothers would rather not think about them?
Toad Houses are pretty simple to make. All you need is a terra cotta pot (I chose the 4 inch size), any color of acrylic paint, and a brush. We painted ours a single color because of the drying time involved, but we had considered adding decoration as a second step.
After the paint is dry, take the toad house to your garden, and find a nice spot for it where the kids can see it, but not trample on your plants. Dig out a little dirt, maybe 1-2 inches deep, and lay the pot on it's side in the hole, so that the pot makes a little shady cave that a toad might fall in love with. Put the extra dirt inside the pot to make a floor, and add a few pieces of bark or sticks or rocks. Hopefully your work will be rewarded by a toad who sets up house. Your kids will probably name the toad (ours is pre-named the Little Green Frog) and you can be thankful that it is eating some of the other creepy-crawly things in your garden.

I didn't "see" it but accidentally scrolled over it and it popped up. You need to change the color of "comments" so it's visible always. Otherwise things look great. I like your blog explanation. I agree, life is a constant project of something.
It's wonderful that God never considers our hearts a "done" project. He's always working in us to make us better for Him. May we be wise enough to search Him out daily before our house projects begin.

I love you so much my wise sister!
Also... you will need to "subscribe" (see directly below the comments) to each blog to see that people have commented. You'll get an email. If you don't care that's fine too but then you'll actually have to come all the way here to check if there's comments. It's just handy by email. I don't like the "creator" doesn't just get the updates automatically.
