Daddy Time

Caleb has been really interested in building things right now, so Matt and Caleb have been busy every weekend.

The first weekend they built the ramp in the back of this picture out of a cardboard box and pizza boxes for his cars to go down. They also built an elaborate train track together and a station for all the trains to park in.

The pizza boxes didn't hold up so well, especially with Carter trying to climb on the ramp, so Matt and Caleb built and painted this ramp together. Matt used some scrap wood that the builders in our neighborhood were just going to toss. Caleb's loved having races down the ramp with his cousins and preschool playmates.

And lastly they built an amazing fort in our family room this past Friday using all the blankets we have in the house. (It was an unexpected three day weekend because Friday was a "snow day". It didn't snow where we live, but the overpasses were icy, so schools were cancelled and most work places were cancelled.) We left the fort up all weekend, but I forgot to take a picture of it before they took it down yesterday. It provided great entertainment for both my boys. Reading books and playing with toys is sooo much cooler when you can do it in a fort!
