Boys and their building projects

In continuation of the fall leaf pictures from last time... Hayden and Cameron constructed a tunnel using sticks and leaves. Here they are trying to talk Wyatt into crawling through it.

He is a tad apprehensive. He doesn't want to get dirty. So...

Grampa and Hayden come to the rescue and raise the bridge for him to crawl only on his hands and feet.

If you've seen Lalita's blog you know that Simon loves to build with blocks and that is right up Cameron's alley as well.

He constructed this little baby while Simon was here.
Having "SMARTIES" at Halloween time got Cam to thinking. He wanted to make something with the little candies.

I stopped by the Dollar Tree and picked up two bags of them.

Here is the wall partially built. It collapsed some at this point and was reconstructed. Wouldn't this picture make a cool jigsaw puzzle?

Here is the finished wall. It is only one candy row deep and who know how many candies are in the whole thing. Actually I believe Cam knows since he planned the thing down to how many rolls of candy he would need. Of course, making allowances for breakage and a few snitched by his older brother.

The purposeful collapse of the structure. It held up quite well under attack.

And finally... Rowan is here. I brought a chair outside to take leaf pictures because it was really really wet today.
