Dave's VW Van

    One Sunday after church Dave wanted to build his VW van. The boys had been wanting to help him and since he wanted to do it all alone he was putting it off. Well this Sunday I had a really bad migraine so I was in bed (on the living room floor...remember Dave still isn't finished with the storm shelter.) Dave decided that building the van would be a good way to keep them quiet for me so they got started right after lunch. I think there were 14 different bags of Lego's and they were not in order so he had to open all of them to get the parts he needed. Kinda funny when normally they have all the pieces for one part in this bag and the next in this one, but not today. It was fun for me to not be involved but to hear Dave saying, 'Sam please whisper, your mom is sick.'  'Logan, I told you not to take my pieces; yours are right there.'  Logan, STOP please you are going to make it so I can't build it.'  ' NO, you can't take that apart,I need that just the way it is.'  He is such a good Dad and has so much patience.

   This is hour 1. Organizing the bags.

   This is hour 3, just getting the hang of it.

   Hour 5 people, HOUR 5!!  He sat there for 5 hours with both boys crawling all over him to build a pretend van. That is determination that there. This Van is on display in our bedroom, the boys are not allowed to touch it. Logan breaks it everyday, putting Batman or Robin or Two-Face or Joker in there. Dave always finds a new man or thing hiding in there when he comes home from work. It's like a prize everyday for him. Seriously, such a good Dad and a true engineer for spending 5 hours to build Lego's.
