all I want for christmas is a pine cone house


Benson: Mommy I think what I really want for Christmas is a pine cone house.

Me: Hmmm ok can we just make it out of this brown blanket?

Benson: No, mommy you need to make it on your sewing machine. And I want a little door, and a hall, and some stairs, and a bed in it. Ok, Mommy? Let's go look for some fabric upstairs.

Me: Ok, but if we don't have the right fabric we'll have to wait until we get to Nana's house to make one.

Benson: Ok, but that's what I want, Mommy, so I need you to make it on your sewing machine. Is that a deal?

Me: Deal.

Just a heads up there, Nana. Here's hoping he gets over the pine cone house obsession reeeeeal quick. I'm still recovering from the Optimus Prime costume.

Hahaha! you should convince him that pine cones really like to live in something a little easier...like a box, or a bucket, or even a pine tree!! :) I love how proactive he was in suggesting you go upstairs and find some fabric. that's awesome

Does he want a house for a pine cone or a house made in a pine cone....not that one is much easier than the other! (Thanks for bringing me into the project)

hahaha You are welcome mom. I'm pretty sure he wants a house for HIMSELF in the shape of a pine cone. A house for a pine cone would have been easy!
