Cody is such a dreamer, which is a good thing. He is always on the look out for card board and truly believes he can make anything out of cardboard and duct tape. He babysat for me so he could earn money to buy his own roll of duct tape. Ever since he was just little he would ask me to make him things like a saddle out of paper towel or a bow and arrow out of paper and duct tape, and lots of other things that sometimes is just plain impossible, I really do try, so last weekend when he wanted to build a fort out in the backyard I was trying to be a good mom and took him to the lumber store to buy some wood. We ran into Brother Gillespie, who is truly one of the nicest people you will ever meet, and he told Cody he had some scrap wood he could have. So Cody hooked his wagon up to his electric skooter, (I wish I had taken a picture) and took some banana cake to trade for the wood! He made quite a haul! He enlisted his best buddy Brennan and the work began. They did it all by themselves, hammered, nailed, sawed and painted. They were so excited and worked so hard, and were very proud of their finished fort! Way to go boys!

Wow, that's impressive that the boys did this all themselves! It looks great! You're the fun mom for letting them experiment and play around with things...also, the duct tape reminds me of this time we ran into Brandon and Cody at the mall in Spokane, and you'd made Cody a tie out of duct tape! Funny!
I remember making forts with my brothers back in the day. Looks like they had fun. They are quite the builders.
You have to watch him because that boy will be tearing apart and putting everything back together again with duct tape if you aren't careful. He has always been that creative. I remeber him asking you or me or anyone that would to make him this or that. He is juswt so smart and well creative, I wonder where he gets that from?
This is so fun. Do you think I could borrow Cody for a weekend to do the honey-do projects I need done around here?
hehehe...........gotta luv a guy who can do anything with duct tape. he'll be able to fix anything with his knowledge of duct tape.
