A present for Our Big 9 year old






Our Oldest son turns nine on Saturday. All he wanted from us for his birthday was a clubhouse. So I drew up a little sketch/plan, went to Home Depot, and after 3 1/2 hours of sawing, drilling and sweating, the house was done. He painted a custom sign for the entry marking the name of his club (from the show "Jimmy Neutron"). If you can't read it, it says "Genetic Freaks" with "all who enter beware" in glow in the dark paint. He loves it and we even made some quick benches out of leftover scrap and cinder blocks. We just hope his small birthday gathering doesn't get rained out tonight. Will post pics later.

He got his clubhouse. So much fun! Did you build that all by yourself. If so, you are the woman! Happy Birthday to Jacob!!
