The looooooooong project
I bet you thought you’d get to see kitchen pictures, right? Me too! I’ve been hoping to wait until it’s finished and now it’s dragging out long enough that maybe it’s time for a work in progress picture. 🙂 The kitchen is mostly finished and so functional it’s hard to remember it’s not done until Zara nearly bumps her head on a cord sticking out from under the cabinet.
Meanwhile, I’m clearing the computer to create white space for my brain and the hard drive in preparation for a wedding on Saturday (yippee!) and I’m finding soooo many fun pictures! It has been such a fun summer!
The boys started working on this project last summer the week or so before Adam broke his arm. It took a looooooooooooooooooooooong break while he was down and then winter was in full force so it just sat there, dormant. This Spring, they worked at skinning logs again.
One Saturday in July David took a few hours to help them start building. Zara and I walked out just as it started raining to get a few pictures and I could have melted. Adam drew up the floor plan on graph paper last summer and they are building it to his specs. David was hoping to convince Adam just to build a simple tent structure like they do at camp because it would be so much quicker, but he was convinced he wanted a log cabin. He really, really wants a fireplace in one end so he could cook in it, but both of us were like no way! I can hear the fire engines already. 😉
I absolutely love when the boys play like this. They are having so much fun and yet learning so much … all because their imagination took off.
Adam is learning the not so fun stick-to-it-even-when-it’s-not-done part. Or rather, maybe he’s discovering it. The cabin is sitting pretty dormant again. 🙂 He always has such big ideas but they’re too big for him to carry out physically and then he gets stuck til his daddy has free time. His current dream? Making a golf cart out of a trimmer (the trigger will be the gas pedal).
Dream big, buddy. After all,
