I ordered some bottles for a kitchen project I am working on. When the box came in the mail James could not contain his excitement. As the UPS man walked up the path with the delivery James was jumping up and down asking if he could have the box.
After I had taken everything out of the box, James sat in it. He then asked, "Should I make it an elevator or a spaceship?" I was wanting to work on my kitchen project so I said I don't care, just try to do it all on your own.
I save all my recycled artsy type items in a box under the kids bed. I pulled it out and said anything was ok to use.
His imagination went to town. I ended up having to help with a glue gun since he is scared to death of glue guns. Then my older daughter got home from school and she helped even more.

ReplyDeleteHowdy! I know this is somewhat off topic but
ReplyDeleteI was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?
I'm getting fed up of Wordpress because I've had problems with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
