We re-homed our vintage 1970sΒ  paper blocks at Chloe & Neil’s house.

While Chloe worked around the house,

 

 

 

and the dogs lazed on the floor,

 

 

 

Akiva played with Seneca.

 

 

 

Here, they are designing what is known as a Brother Trap.

 

 

 

First, build an enclosure out of bricks.

 

 

 

It must have a small opening on one side.

 

 

 

It also must have a roof.

 

 

 

Then there must be bait, to entice the brother in.

 

 

 

In this case, a simple pair of blue plastic shoes.

 

 

 

Then you tell the brother, oh! Your shoes are in there!

And slide closed the thick brick door behind him.

 

 

 

But the brother breaks out!

 

 

 

Tada!

Later, Iris and Chloe walk their dogs.

We got wet!
