Idea: Build a totally awesome, two-story clubhouse with porch and benches. We had to convince the boys that a Pirate Ship (as pictured in the book) wouldn't fit in our backyard (nor would it fit in with the budget).
How-To-Build-an-Amazing-Clubhouse Book: Santa brought it!
Tools: in the garage, in the house, and several scavenger hunts to find the missing hammers (DAVIS!)
Wood and Nails: Ace, Home Depot, and Lowe's and a trip to the Kellogg's to borrow the green truck to haul the plywood. (Jason wants a green truck now. He's earned himself one after this project . . . .)
Time with the boys: PRICELESS. We're about 6 weeks into construction. Our goal is mid-June.
Where are the hard hats?
Surprisingly, Jason is the one that smashed his finger. Although, we've had some close calls with all three. My boys love to hammer!

Holy Cow! I'm impressed.
That is SO cool! I love it!! I can't wait to see it finished too : ) Is there a sign that's going to say no girls allowed?
If you're wondering why construction is taking so long, we're only working on it for a few hours on Saturdays & it takes a while for little boys to hammer in nails, etc. We're having fun! : )
I am WAY impressed!!! Can't wait to see the finished project!
How exciting! Can't wait to see the finished product!
Wow! That is really neat! I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's all done.
I'm thinking of the Bob the builder song, but it doesn't rhyme with Jason. I would like to hire you when we have our own backyard to build cool stuff like that.
Who makes the rules?
