Nathan has a big hobby. He loves to collect stuffed animals. He's up to 144. He has been doing this for years. He had 2 nets hanging in his room. One collapsed like 10 times and Jeremy decided he wasn't putting it back up! So, Jeremy decided that for Nathan's birthday, they were going to create an animal "house" for his stuffed animals. They worked on it together and painted it purple which is Nathan's favorite color (and our town's school color).
This is the finished product. Sadly, it is only half full of stuffed animals. Nathan wants to leave those others up in the net and just collect more for the "house." Yes, that is a big black spider climbing up the side of the "house." I call it an animal "jail" but he doesn't like that name because he says his animals are not lawbreakers.
Since it's made this way, it's easy for him to reach in and out and grab animals. He chooses an "animal of the day" every day to play with and sleep with at night.
My pictures are all out of order, but here are some of the ones I snapped of them creating the "house."
Here's where they strung the rope through the holes in the PVC pipe.
Still stringing the rope. Yes, the living room floor is covered with Elizabeth's "My Little Pony" village. She sits out here all day long humming and playing with her ponies.
Here, they were putting holes in the PVC pipe before they painted. I didn't get any pictures of them painting.
It could also be a nice jail for troublemaker kids!!
He was excited for his newest birthday present. Today, he made a funny quote about getting older. He said, "Everything that goes up must come down. Except your age."
