For a while, my kids really got into using tools. They have play toys that they were using all over the house. Nathaniel started this kick (for a change - usually he follows whatever Hannah Beth is doing) and Hannah Beth joined in. Thomas and I were working on a few projects around the house, so maybe that inspired it.
I must confess.... there was a chair in our breakfast nook that was not very stable and needed some work. It was where I always sit, so it constantly bothered me. Thomas said he could fix it, but as we do with so many things, it kept getting put off. I didn't want to nag him.... so one day I just moved it to his spot. Amazingly, in just a few days he was fixing the chair! :) So the kids had to run and get their tools and help Daddy out!
So we wouldn't wind up with a bunch of dented walls and furniture I sent the kids to work outside as often as possible. It worked out well (except our neighbors may not have appreciated all the pounding on our fence)!
