We never even owned video games until this year and they still ask "Can I go outside and play?" which I love! We have always encouraged them that using their imaginations is really what will make them creative thinkers when it comes to having a job as a grown man. I'm so glad they aren't zombies following around other zombies.. God bless, Sallie My boys are such boys!

My children were fun to watch today...the excitement was palpable at the amount of time my husband spent looking at the plans for the tree house!

Something my son has been waiting for patiently--we bought the book months ago! We also have two other projects from the book set aside for when he goes to visit grandpa Thanksgiving weekend: The Five Knots Every Boy Should Know and Making a Battery. I think think the book is great in that it encourages are boys to be independent, adventurous, knowledgable, interested, charming, playful and all the other wonderful things that little boys and grown men should grow up to be. We have for too long focused on girls and in doing so we have often made boys the bad guys or the forgotten guys. Each gender needs its role models and inspirations and manuals for feeling good about who they are and what they do; they both need acceptance and enocouragement ...and not at the expense of the other. I look forward to the fun my son will have with his book :-) I swear you have a fly as a spy on my walls LOL
