One of Adam’s favorite Christmas gifts so far (we have another Christmas coming up this week with Dave’s family) is the Craftsman tool bench he got from Grandmama and Papa. He patiently waited for Aunt Stacy and Mommy (Aunt Stacy did most of the work) to assemble it and has played with it pretty much non-stop since then.

Fun fact #1: The tool bench was put together with the toy tools and bolts it came with. I am guessing it will take Adam about two weeks to figure out how to completely dismantle it.

Fun Fact #2: The lathe/grinder actually turns – how fun is that?

Adam also got a toolbox full of tools from Gramma E that fits perfectly on the shelf on the bottom of his bench. The toolbox also makes it easy for him to take his supplies offsite if he happens to see something that needs to be fixed.

Unfortunately for us he is about as good as Grandpa Kurt when it comes to putting his tools away at the end of a job (Dave totally told me to write that).
