thanks to my macguyver of a husband, my kids know how to work wonders with tools... and i'm proud of it. buckle up 'cuz today we're gonna hop my momma braggy train and take a tour of the latest mini-macguyver project.
the handful of you that visit me daily may remember our recent family dumpster dive at the neighborhood construction site....
and the cool project frick and frack, our 10 year old twin boys, built for their frustrated-furniture-pushing-and-shoving-mom... me.
they made me the dollie NOT the wardrobe.
one recent afternoon, frick was doing his usual probing and meandering around my digs while i punctiliously painted, nodded and "uh-huhed" in response to his banter. after a few minutes of his foraging, pounding and drilling i heard the familiar, "look, mom!"
sure enough frick, a.k.a tucker had transformed the tossed aside timber into his namesake letter "t".
um... for all you nit-picky parents, he's wearing an invisible cloak of protection around his body instead of the standard gear.
duh.
some oops paint and tape can turn wood into a work of art.
frack is not one to be outdone by his bro, so get ready for a heck of a "w" coming your way soon.
what have your kiddies built lately?
HEY, Y O U!!! YES, Y O U!!
i love to chitty-chatty away with my peeps so PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE check to see if you have "NO REPLY" set on your blogger account b/c i will not hunt you down to reply to your comment. been there, done that and can't get that time back now that i need it.

T-T-Totally love it!
That is awesome. It puts the little jute-covered "J" that Joey and I did for his room to major shame. I can't show this to him or he'll give me the silent treatment. Hmmm...on second thought... !
Have a great day!
Wow! You must be one proud mama :) He's obviously picking up great tips from you!

TOTALLY COOL!!! Wow! The look on his face in the final pic is priceless! Such an accomplishment. Skills he will always have! Plus, hello???? Excellent job too!
What a handy fella! I love it and I love that he looks pretty proud of himself. Talent runs in your family!
What a compliment to you that he wants to follow in your creative footsteps... And looks like he may just have some of your spunk, too! What a doll.
