Maybe, Just Maybe
I am willing to consider that perhaps I have allowed the children too much unstructured play time this summer.
Not only was he OK, but he was a giggling and willing participant. They were playing "Houdini". But don't think I wasn't tempted to leave him like that for a little while! (By the way, he DID manage to get out of that on his own, thus winning the game.)
isn't there a saying that goes, "duct tape is the world's best babysitter"? Of course it is hilarious to see Sam like that. I am glad he is a Houdini! Looks like things are really busy your way these days. I love the room makeovers as I am sure the kids do too! How special for them! Wishing you the very best, and as always so great to see you! :-)
I will not let my older kids see this or my son will be sticking to some wall of the house or ceiling fan if they could get him up there. I warned the girls there was a price to pay for having a cute little brother. Hope all else is well. Natalie is just adorable.

Oh, Suzanne, I am dying laughing. I'm assuming he is okay or you wouldn't have taken a picture of it so all I can do is laugh. LOL
