Proof that a 4 year old lives here

At any given time during any given day you can walk through our house and find proof that a very cute and inventive four year old lives there. It seems that every day I find "inventions" that Stratton has made and then left behind because something else has caught his attention. I decided to take some pictures of what I found in four different rooms yesterday.


First, in the play-room was this. Stratton told me that it was a factory.

Made from train parts and Tinker-toys.


Second, just outside of the play-room in the hallway I found a pirate ship.

Patiently waiting for the captain to return and set sail.

Third, in the family room there was a small village made out of colorful blocks.


Forth, in the living room a fire truck with his rescue ladder fully extended.

I wonder if someone or something was rescued off of that chair?


And finally, a very long "conveyor belt" made out of Jenga blocks.

I love finding evidence of Stratton throughout the house. He is so creative and has a huge imagination. It will be a sad day when the proof that a four year old lives here disappears.

I wish I found things like that. Most of what I find is just a lot of toys laying all over the place. Loved the factory and the little village.

I have proof that a 3 and a 2 year old live here but it is not as cute as that. I would say mine is more, a lot more, messy. He is such a cute kid and we are all getting so excited to see all of you!!

He's a cute 4 year old. They still leave proof when they're 6. Ryson loves imagining. I love the pirate ship. I wonder where he got that?? We're counting down the days. My kids can hardly wait to see the cousins and their favorite Aunt :)
