OK here is the thing. Gavin was just so excited to get his real tools for Christmas. He wanted them in the worst way, and he wanted to build things. with real wood and real nails. He could not wait. He originally wanted to build a "dog house" with daddy. After a bit, we convinced him that maybe a smaller house would be better, maybe for a mouse or something, since we don't have a dog. He then said, "Well, we don't have a mouse either!!!! BUT we DO HAVE WORMS!!!!" Oh. My. God. I had to try hard not to laugh. So, then and there we decided to build a WORM HOUSE! Gav was able to find enough scrap wood to make the house. They sawed the wood, and then nailed it together. Gavin did all the nails himself. There are probably about 50 nails in it, but he did it. Then he filled it with dirt, and went on a worm hunt. He found some worms and put them inside with the dirt. After a few hours, he said that the house needed to be painted. So the boys headed to HD to get some things for the house and paint. G picked out the color, some shade of blue, and was thrilled to paint the worm house. Oh, and I must add that the worm house comes everywhere with us. It rides in the back of the van, so he can show everyone. ;)
The day after Christmas we also had Ma, Papa, and Aunt Winnie over for Skyline! Derek knew how much I missed the Cincinnati day after Christmas Skyline tradition, so he made a TON of skyline. After dinner Austin got his first Chocolate Chip cookie! He loved it, and ate the whole thing.
After dinner Gavin and Aunt Winnie looked at pictures together...it was so cute to see them laughing with each other:)
