I thought the color combination was breath taking!

How fun it would be if this is what my ceiling in my room looked like! 

Hats off to Charlie!

What do you call a person that collects hats….I guess a Mad Hatter!  I went to Answer.com and there is not an actual description.  lol  So if any one knows let me know! 

In Miss Jill’s class they are constantly making or getting hats!  It is truly thrilling to see what Charlie will wear home from school.  Below are just a few of the fun hats. 

  I was getting to the point of having no more room to display his hats so we took pictures and said goodbye to a few!  I kept the ones he had made.

My master architects!

city blocks

Charlie got these for Christmas and sense then he has not stopped building….neither has Daddy!

Following are the many creations these two boys have been building.  It has been a wonderful bonding experience for the them!

Charlie is always building skyscrapers or hotels and is fascinated with New York City.

Besides the fun of building these neat creations; Charlie’s favorite part it counting down and destroying them… much to Daddy’s chagrin!

Everything below is made with blocks that look like this….
