Adventures in parenting, vol. 26

 
 . . . in which Number One and Little Red discover the vast difference between Phineas and Ferb's world and our own.  The cartoon features two (step?) brothers who each episode construct gigantic contraptions and structures, usually in response to something needed by a friend or family member (the subplots involving Perry the Platypus aren't really important now).  Here, a picture of the stage they built for a reunion concert of Love Handel. 



So, the boys have been determined that they could do something like that--build a stage, have a concert, create a lake and then a castle, etc.

Expectations: 























Reality:







This was the sum total of the work we got done this afternoon.  Number One expressed dismay at how hard it was to hammer nails into wood.  We agreed that maybe the cartoons make things look a bit easier than they actually are.  Total number of nails hammered by two boys:  8.

Enjoyed these pictures and the determination of the boys to get the project done. I know that as a Dad this takes a lot of patience and love and that is evident as well. I am proud of all of you - my Numba One Son and your sons - as you fill these summer days with "fun" together.
