Creative Boredom

We Charlton's are not used to staying home. If you know us at all you know that we are always doing something fun or going somewhere. We always have some sort of plans. This weekend that was all put on hold because our little bean had pneumonia so we stayed home and let him recuperate. I think it was good practice for the new addition to our family. We will have to slow down for a bit to let her get adjusted to the new world.

It was a good time to finish up last minute baby stuff as well as little projects around the house. Roland was right on top of my mini list for the weekend, PLUS he had his creative hat on and built Seth a new toy.

Seth has been obsessed with the movie Cars since mid fall and we now have quite the collection of model cars from the movie, coloring books, place mats and blankets. Anyhow, Roland thought it would be fun to build Seth a roadway for his cars since he lines them up on the coffee table all the time. Here is the process of building our very own Radiator Springs roadway just like the movie...

Step 1: Map out the road and paint the lines.Step 2: Place character stickers all over the land.Step 3: Remember the WHOLE cast!Step 4: Test it out with a few of your cars.Step 5: Enjoy your new toy that Daddy made for you with love!
