bob the builder

my son is obsessed with building things. i am trying to be an athletic supporter but he insists on using my shoe rack from my closet and the tv dinner trays. these already have a purpose. i dont know why he feels the need to change them.
so i have decided to buy him a stash of scrap wood that he may hammer, nail and saw at his leisure. we have insurance now so what the heck? ya know?

that's great, but i would get him more useful things like chewing gum and paper clips. start showing him macGyver now in case you guys ever get stuck in an elevator or you find a bomb in your kitchen or something.

it makes me laugh to think of your boy going off with a hammer in the back yard - better the pieces of wood than his sisters heads.

still, bob the builder has some great songs to sing along to - some of the best

hey i want anything made out of would and a tractor tire pair. one time, no where near band camp, uh cause i dont actually PLAY anything, but we went to a friend's house and they had a horse shaped swing made out of a tire. it was too cool looking. i need one of those for Eli the Builder.
