I have been working hard to change my thought processes this year - to ask myself, when I feel a need for something, if I can make it myself, before I run out to the store (or even the thrift store) looking for it.
When Brian decided he needed a shield, then, it made me so happy to see that he wanted to make it himself. Since he's the most like me in personality of all the kids, he started by making a plan. To keep it official, it went down on paper (in List Form, naturally - there's nothing so satisfying as a good list), and then supplies were gathered. This particular project is a collaboration between Brian & his dad, and it's so fun to see them working on it together.
It's moving slowly - a little more every weekend, when the boys have time together to get it done, and I can't wait to see it finished, and out there helping Brian in all his adventures!
That is Very Cool. I can't wait to see the shield all finished.

Oh it is good to make stuff - I've never attempted a shield! It looks very impressive so far and the design certainly is!
