Due to continued inclement weather this week, we have been stuck indoors searching for new ways to entertain ourselves.
For
Oliver, this has meant increased craftiness. Here is a chronicle of his crafts for this week:
Monday: wooden airplane model which he earned the money for and bought himself
Tuesday: 2-year-old Gingerbread house kit which he found in the pantry
Wednesday: a break in the weather provided the perfect opportunity to do some major destruction to the aforementioned gingerbread house (note the onlooking friends munching on the remains)
Thursday: a monster truck built out of blocks - advanced building skills at work

Friday: spray painting using a home-made DC logo stencil (Brenden helped with this project)
Saturday: some serious fort-building

Brenden has made 2 additional batches of cookies and built this roller-coaster

June has experimented with wardrobe ensembles and I've given up trying to teach her what matches and what doesn't. (These changes pictured were actually over the course of one day.)

Needless to say, I am feeling quite stir crazy.
