Our little construction worker

Last Thursday Claire got into big trouble for not listening to Mom. She choose to run away from me down the sidewalk of our neighborhood all the way to the entrance of our development before stopping. Because of her actions, she lost all of her toys until tomorrow.

Today she decided to take out Daddy's little tool box in our house and "fix" things. She took her work outside while I was making cookies. When I went out to see what she was "fixing" this is what I found...

 Then it was time to "measure the pressure"

 Claire came in to tell me that she was fixing the doggy door because it was loose. I thought she was playing still and told her she was doing a good job. Well, when I got outside, I found out she was not playing and the doggy door really was loose. This is because Claire decided to use Daddy's electric screwdriver and unscrew the four screws that hold the door on! She had placed the screws on the deck and was trying to put them back in!

After showing her how to screw one back in place, she took over and finished the project...
