What we did for Presidents Day

Lest you think I have the monopoly on imagination around here, take a look at what M & the kids concocted last Monday while they were all out of school for Presidents Day.  What used to be a large boring cardboard box is now "The T-Rex Chomper Space Rocket".  (Yes, those are 3-D yellow paper flames coming out the back.)

Here is a view from the inside of the cockpit,

 

and the bold flight captain behind the navigational disk dashboard of her own design, 

the dashing co-pilot peeking out from behind the hanging moons and stars which create a 3-D, possibly 4-D map of the universe.

This is the launch site where the rocket is placed over the flight crew in a plastic toboggan and blasted down our hills.  

As it turns out, even with our highly developed imaginations, a large cardboard box still isn’t very aerodynamic and a couple of the design features drug in the snow slowing it down, but it is a fabulous inside plaything now.  It really is out of this world!  Almost as fantastic as I think these cute little goofballs are.
