Caleb's Snake-Dragon

Caleb took another box with strange dimensions and made this snake-dragon out of it. This creature is made out of one box. I'm not even sure how he did it. He took the pictures of it himself before we threw it out.

 

Cardboard Box House

We had this big box left after Christmas, so I got it out of the closet and let the kids go to town with it. It only lasted a few days because they played with it so much.

The older boys cut windows into the sides

They made a pull-out table with a bucket chair inside

and decorated the walls with pictures

and shelves

and a TV

And taped a flashlight to the ceiling for light

don't forget a radio (I'm not even sure how they know what one of these is!)

I truly think they had more fun making it than really playing in it--at least the older boys.  Jonah sure loved playing in it!  So did Eliza.  It was a fun project for everyone.

Hairdresser Eliza

Eliza likes to "do" my hair by putting every single bow that she owns in it while we watch TV.  She told me that she wants to learn how to do hair.  I'm not sure I should be one to teach her, since I struggle with doing hair myself, but I'm glad she likes it!

Working Boy

Put 'em to work early, that's what I say!  Jonah loves to clear out the utensils from the dishwasher.  He usually just throws them into the drawer and the person who is responsible for clearing out the dishwasher that week ends up sorting them (or me).  But it's one of his favorite things to do and he has a radar for when the dishwasher is opened in the morning.  He comes running to start putting them away!
