Birthday Haul
« on: 2014-03-17, 04:12:18 »
My family was kind enough to get three books and a siege tower for me on my birthday; all with a medieval theme!

Evidently, my 7 year old daughter saw the siege tower in a store and knew that Daddy must have it.   8)

"So what did you get for your birthday?"
"Oh, I got a siege tower. You know...usual stuff."

Happy birthday!

Very cool. When she is 17 maybe she will suggest the life-size siege tower!

Happy birthday! Wow, I didn't know children had benefits like this. Hmm... Maybe I'll get one later this year.

Let me suggest renting one first.   ;)

Thank you all for the well wishes.  I never thought that I’d ever be 44, probably because I still act like I’m 24!

But I thought making your own stuff is cheaper and better than buying it  ;) Or is that just kit stuff...

Yes, that only pertains to kit stuff.

Trust me, there is nothing cheap about kids!   :o
