DIY Days



We got some DIY things from Santa as well, so we let Sage try his hand at building and destroying....

First up was the gingerbread house





Getting just the right sprinkle quotient...





 Done! (plus the snowman he made in school).  A thing of ... beauty!


Next up was Paleo-time!  Santa brought one of those clay blocks with fossil pieces inside and Sage was all set.  To get a better view of his efforts, check out the vids....)

All set to get whackin'

 This is no time for finesse - we gotta get that fossil out!




Brush away the grit, brush brush brush...


Saw away the clay, saw saw saw


 Yeah! I did it!
(with about 80% dad's help....)

Actually, it was pretty cool and he was occupied for about 45 minutes (even after I helped him at times.  The pieces came out and then we needed to put them together.  He was ciked!
