Starting the Treehouse

Mom and the kids have been planning this year's treehouse, and the recent warm weather has made Emily and Kate very anxious to start building it. Tonight they brought their tools down to the shop in hopes of getting started.
They pulled a bunch of cut-offs out of the scrap wood bin and went to work. And yes, their tool kit includes a tiny purple hairbrush.They tried the blocks out in a bunch of different combinations.Emily has decided that she wants a ramp to the treehouse instead of a ladder, which Mom agrees is a great idea.Kate figured out a way to involve her favorite basement toy, which is the shopping cart. She went "shopping" for more wood scraps........then delivered them to Emily's jobsite. Good teamwork girls!Like most basement games, this one ended up in a round of chase, which is pretty fun too.We can't wait for spring, when we can start building our treehouse for real!
