Spring Preps & Building a Naptime Shelter

I had about an hour to spare yesterday evening and the weather was rather warm (63 degrees) so I snagged the boy and took him out to the plot with me.  He helped turn over a few boxes with me.  After the five from yesterday, there are only few more that need to have the November/December leaf layer mixed in with the rest of the soil.

After growing bored with that, he worked to construct a "naptime shelter" that's "like The Guy Who Eats Weird Things."  Because I greatly enjoy watching a certain survival-themed show on DVD and Netflix, the boy's seen his fair share of interesting shelters and creative ways to start fires.  Since he doesn't remember the name of the show or its weary host/creator/camera crew/pack mule, he simply refers to that whole thing as "The Guy Who Eats Weird Things."

With some help with the roof from dear ol' dad (he couldn't easily reach that high), he dragged his 2"x8" plank in place for a bed and, thus, his naptime shelter was complete shortly before it was time to head home for dinner.
