My Men and their Tools

My boys love tools!  Tools of CONstruction.  Tools of DEstruction.  Tools used to screw, saw, shape, cut, slice, blow, bind, twist ... and chisel!  

Brady received a fabulous chisel dig site for Christmas from Cousin Jack and still-in-utero baby Annie.  He attacked it wholeheartedly and didn't stop chiseling away until there was nothing more than a pile of stones on the table and a collection of priceless pirate artifacts.  

We have seen these cool adventure digs at other times and have been tempted to purchase them (and perhaps have already stashed one away for his birthday!)  

So we were not surprised when Brady recently went to the King Tut exhibit with Grandy, and Brady convinced Grandy to buy him a Mummy Tome chisel set.  Once again, the boys dove right in - safety glasses and toothbrushes in hand - and chiseled away until the ancient relic was discovered and only dusty stones remained!  

Maybe Brady can be the next Indiana Jones when he grows up!  After viewing the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, it is safe to say that Harrison Ford has definitely gotten a little too crotchety for the role, and Brady is way cuter than Shia LaBeouf (at least his mommy thinks so!)
