Builder

After we closed on our house it took us a few weeks to move in.  During that time I was getting the house ready by completing a few projects.  One weekend everyone was at the new house and during quiet time we put Alyce and Luke in their rooms.  We also put the kid's new tent in Alyce's room so she would have something to play in along with her toys.  One toy she played with was a set of blocks made by my father.  They had been in storage while we had the house for sale.  Now that they are back in the rotation they've been a big hit.

When it was time to go we loaded the kids up in the car and looking up at the house I saw that the light in Alyce's room was still on.  I went back inside to turn off the light and upon entering room I saw what she had been working on during quiet time.  She built a house out of the blocks.  It wasn't a simple house.  It had four walls, a roof, and other decorations.  I didn't know she had it in her to build such a nice structure.
