'Brick' House in Living Room


Abe loves the story of the Three Little Pigs. He usually wants to make himself a house out of bricks using blocks. Well, blocks tend to get knocked down regardless of the presence of a Big Bad Wolf, so I suggested we set up his Hippo Tent to be his house of bricks. Lucily he agreed. Notice 'shelves' for storage on the left side and his bed on the right.

Every respectable brick house needs a fireplace with which to catch the Big Bad Wolf when he comes down the chimney. Abe made his fire with lincoln logs and the flames from construction paper.

Now that he's safe inside his house of bricks, he can enjoy a long winter's nap. When I zipped open a little side vent to remove his DVD player, there he was! All that hard work caught up with him. Hopefully the Big Bad Wolf doesn't find that little access. Sweet dream, 'Practical' Abe!

I love the imagination of children! They can make anything possible. It cracks me up to see the things that Abi and Everett come up with. Zachary is just along for the ride.
