Dan had the brilliant idea of turning what most likely would of been an hour long whining session into an hour long space game. The boys had to hurry and build their space station before the aliens arrived. Each log gave them points and to complete their mission. They had a blast, almost running back to Dan for more wood. And the best part is...Dan left the game completely opened ended...which means if there's ever more wood to be stacked, its very possible there could be more aliens on the way ;)

HAHAHA!!! I love it! That is so creative! And I love that you apparently have a fireplace for all of this wood... ahhh, so cozy!
That makes ME want to stack wood!
I just read about a study that found if you tell a child to do something it will last on average 2 minutes. If you tell them to pretend to do something, it lasts on average 11 minutes!
I bet the researchers would find that if DAN tells a child to do something, and even does it along with them, it will last an hour!
I will take a Peterson Mini-post any day!
Simply brilliant! I need to try and be more creative when I'm trying to get my kids to do their chores.
This is a good motivating post, and the pictures are so cute!
Dan is a genius! Best idea. I want to come and defend against aliens too!
