lincoln logs

For the past couple of days, Erin and Libby have been grounded from watching tv. We have a rule that says that there is no tv before mom and dad come down stairs in the mornings. This may sound harsh, but Penny has been known to go in the garage and get a popcicle from the freezer. That doesn't sound too horrible, but it is a chest freezer and if she fell in, she couldn't get out if the lid closed on top of her. Meanwhile the older kids wouldn't hear her, because the tv was on. See...no tv. So as a reminder of this broken rule, the girls haven't been allowed to watch tv for 2 days now. This is how they occupied their free time:

We were given these lincoln logs and as bad as they hurt to step on @ night, they are worth keeping for days like these. The girls built this little city and were very proud of it. They wouldn't go to sleep last night until I photographed it. Once the picture was taken they lovingly destroyed their city to clean up.
