Sometimes when I need 30 minutes to cook a meal, have a shower, tidy up the house, blog or a quick chat on the internet with my family…

I give JD a box of building toys, Lego, stickle bricks, Zoob, Gear blocks…and he will come up with lots of cool stuff.  But the best thing about all these great building stuff is it usually gives me more than the 30 minutes I need, and I love the quietness once in a while when he sits on the floor building his yet another aeroplane, truck, space ship with Chloe eagerly on the side trying to do just the same…and me trying to finish up what I needed to do.  And still have a little time to capture them in action.

This evening, while I stood in the kitchen cutting up chicken, broccoli, chestnuts, mushrooms, tomatoes, washed and boiled the rice, then cooked the dinner, I turned around and saw this! He came up with a helicopter!
