Santa's "Wood "shop

Ky has been working really hard lately to pass off goals in his Cub Scout book. A few of the goals had to do with building things out of wood. So far, Dan has helped Ky build... book ends, a recipe card holder and tonight they built these stilts. Ky has a lot of fun being out in the garage with his Dad and of course LOVES using all of those manly tools. (Insert Tim the Tool Man's grunts here) :)

Ky loves the new stilts! They are a lot more fun to play with than book ends or a recipe card holder. He has been walking around the house all night trying to master them.
After seeing how much fun Ky was having building things with Dad, Alaina asked for her turn to build something cool with Dad and his tools. She chose to build a birdhouse and this is their creation. She is super excited to paint it and put it outside for a whole family of birds to live in.
I'm glad to have a husband who is willing to spend time with our kids doing the things that THEY enjoy, and think is fun. He is always so patient with all of them and a great teacher too. The kids always have fun with their dad whether it is playing a game, going to the park, or doing chores and yard work. He's just a great Dad! I am so grateful to have him as my partner and to be able to learn from his awesome example daily.

Hey, maybe Dan and the kids could turn out some crutches for Eldon...He's having knee surgery tomorrow. Wish us luck!
