The Upgrade

As if there weren't enough reasons in the world to love my husband - here's number 3,250,697,456,555: He's killer at making cardboard houses and castles.

On his way home, Joel told me he had a HUGE box stuffed into the Jeep that had Sarah's name written all over it. So, that meant either we were adding to the cardboard castle already in her room, or we were totally rebuilding. Turns out we rebuilt and after Sarah was adamant on keeping her 'sleeping quarters' from the castle, we added a loft onto the house.

Here's a few pictures from tonight's adventures - I didn't get a chance to take a picture of the loft because we were melting down by the minute. Poor Sarah had been up since 6:30am without sleep and it was an hour past her bedtime by the time we finished. She was a trooper and had an absolute blast.

Inside the house Joel put together a table/stove top with an integrated oven/refrigerator depending on how you look at it. It's really remarkable how skilled this man is with tape, cardboard and his trusty pocket knife.

jenna, how could you work 'verifications" into a ehow? How to get the meaning from them? How they tell something about your future? If that's true I'm going to be a 'ronstar'. Is that something close to a rockstar?
