max the builder

weellp, it's been a hectic summer, but why not throw something else into the mix and FINISH THE BASEMENT! wahoo! we are sooooo excited! once it's done, the basement will nearly double the square footage of our house and you better believe i have big plans for all that space! a play room, big family room, a guest room and MY OFFICE! right now the office and guest room are combined, and since we have a lot of out of town guests it is a bit of a pain. 

the whole thing is framed and good think we had max pitching in. he had the BEST time! he would wake up from nap every day and say "ewwp? duys?" [translate "help guys?] he would help carry the lumber (at least he thought he was helping them), he carried boxes of nails to them, but mostly he focused on picking up pieces of their scrap wood and relocated them to his own personal pile. it was a crack up!


of course he needed his tool set:

"nailing" some wood to the door. why not?

we all laughed so hard when we looked over to see that max added his sippy to the line up the guys drinks. he really thought he was one of the boys! good work little dude. =)

  1. I am so jealous.. Our basement would almost double the square footage too.. but we are far from finishing it, had to do the yard first and come to find our landscaping is expensive... someday right??

  2. So glad to see that someone else lets their kids watch the "workers"! My boys couldn't get enough, and I sometimes felt like a stooge standing there staring at them to accommodate my boys. Ha!
