Not just a craft room

October9

So after some experiences like these:

And some awesome, but inconvenient projects like these:

We decided it was high time we re-do the Lego room. (Well, that and the Legos had to be confiscated due to a little incident with throwing the Legos out the window…) But “craft room”? That just sounded way too… Mom-ish. So Conan invented his own moniker:

Now we use that space to create all kinds of things! So much fun! It may be a constant disaster area, but I love finding Burke busily at work creating a dozen paper bag puppets; or Neils making paper airplanes for all the kids; or any number of creative projects that come out of that space! It’s awesome. Thanks, Conan.

    This is so AWESOME!!! I can just hear Conan’s announcer-voice saying “The Great Room of Making!” [Raucous Cheering] I love how you think, and I love how you guys work together! Well done. Here’s to many more incredible projects that come from your ingenious family! P.S. Do you guys already subscribe to “Make” magazine?

    Yes!! We LOVE Make magazine. That’s how we knew to be all geeked out at the mere mention of Maker Faire! We wouldn’t have missed it for anything. Of course, free tickets via his company sure helped… :)

    And thanks, my boys are definitely imaginative! I love watching what they do.
