Morning Fun w/ Tools and Cardboard

So, yesterday morning I (Travis) got up early with Alex to make him some breakfast and hang-out since I have been at work most of the week. After he ate his breakfast, I had this great idea to build a car out of this cardboard box that has been sitting in the living room for a week now. The reason being, Alex has this infatuation with cardboard boxes. His imagination goes WILD already at 2 years old. He pretends that it's an airlplane sometimes, makes it into a slide, car, truck, a THING...whatever current mood he is in...he loves his box.

By the time I got all of my tools ready, and Alex, excited about building his first car, (mine too) Brittany, got up and wanted to join in on the activity as well.

First, I cut the lid flaps on the top off and cut circles out of them for the wheels (cutting my inner-thigh while doing it), while Brittany and Alex were making the steering wheel and getting coloring supplies. Next, I cut a flap on the driver's side and made a door for him to open and close. Now that we had our door, tires, and steering wheel it was time to color! Me being an absolute car guy, I just had to incorporate many different things on this car. I.E. Mercedes symbol, Lexus trunk lights, Audi LED running lights, and the EVO halogyne headlamps. Oh ya...we had a LOT of fun.

He played in his new car for HOURS! He has a working steering wheel, a place to put in the car keys, a driver's seat made of pillows, and a tape-measurer to "go to work" with. Oh ya, and the ARR730 model of the car, are his initials: Alexander Rayne Royer. I added the GT for good measure. lol

He was trying to throw up Peace signs...this is what we got. lol

Brittany had dubbed his car the, "Rayne Catcher"
