Luke has a new favorite activity (thanks to pinterest!).  We've done something similiar where we froze his toys in ice cubes and put them in the bathtub, but today we froze his Mickey toys in a shoe box plastic container.  Then I dumped the block of ice on the towel and gave Luke his tools so he could dig them out!  Perfect activity to stay cool on a very hot day.  He LOVES using his tools but he doesn't always use them appropriately--and we have dents in the coffee table to prove it.  So this is a great way to let him use his tools productively--and work on those fine motor skills!  Unfortunely, one of the Mickey's lost a nose in the hammering process.  Poor Mickey.  We may stick to cars next time we do this!
