Projects

After weeks of begging, Dallin and Garrett convinced Adam to help them build a tree house. The two stipulations I gave (yeah, I am a mother) were they can't spend any money and they can't nail into the tree. It was difficult with those restrictions, but Adam is super creative!

They all worked planning, measuring and hammering. They found scraps of wood behind the shed and the house.


After three weeks of working, on Saturdays for an hour or two, this is what they have! (The orange thing underneath is not part of it, just an old toddler toy)


It has a ladder, a trap door, and eventually will have a short railing so they can sleep there without rolling off! Good job guys!


The next project my boys worked on was dissecting an owl pellet. Adam happened to get one from a class he was interpreting and brought it home for the boys to see.

They pulled it apart and found all the little tiny bones of a vole.


Then, then took all the bones and glued them to a piece of paper in the shape of a skeleton. I think they found the whole thing! They were super excited to find a skull intact!

One more thing to add to my list of things I never thought I would say: "Boys, get your mouse bones off the table!" Ahhhh, the life of a mother!
