Peter and the girls have been delving deep into design with Duplos to see who can make the finest fortress and the highest high rise. So be prepared to build big over the holidays if you want to keep your status as the coolest ________ (uncle/aunt, grandpa/grandma, nephew/niece, guy/girl off the street, etc.).
Don't worry if you forget to travel with your tinker toys - they'll work with whatever is at hand. Smartphones stack to make spires; minty fudge makes great monoliths. So grab what's handy and start building.

I think this would be the perfect opportunity to create THE TALLEST CHRISTMAS TREE IN HISTORY! I'll have the kids help me stack Christmas trees in the backyard. Dad may have to get a second job to pay for all the extra lights and ornaments...
No problem Lisa, make that a 3rd job, I think I need the second job to keep the student account office happy at Wheaton for a few more years. I don't sleep well anyway so I may as well just give it up and work all the time.
I don't know if you grand kids know this but I am an experienced block tower builder from many years ago. I can stack with the best of them! I say bring on the challenge and may the man with the tallest ladder to reach to top of the tower win!
I'm sure that all the grandkids are reading the blog and we're amazed to read that last comment, Dad.
