Making Something of Nothing

My kids crack me up on a daily basis. Along with making unnecessary messes every day. Tate had gotten a little stuffed animal parrot from the treasure box at school, so naturally my kids decided they need to build him a home. They really are creative because I didn't touch their project and it turned out really pretty cool. they just kept hunting through my cupboards for boxes, tape, scissors, and more tape! Pretty clever

It even has garage that lifts up in the back to put his bed into.

Here they are showing it off to Dad when he got home

Tate has really grasped the concept of seeing meaningless items and making them into something of great worth...

His latest inventions include "Robot man" and his precious "Rock men"

Tate loves riding his bike around the block looking for discarded treasures that will make body parts for his Rock men. He then brings a bunch of garbage home and starts building men out of it. Tate will ask me several times a week , "Mom can I go around the block and collect Junk?"

Wow just what every Mother wants her young son to ASPIRE to!!
