I've posted before about how my children's childhood memories will be full of using Tom's work supplies as toys. We always have stuff lying around. Here are two examples. Leanna fashioined a hammock for her little dolls out of paintcans and a piece of her hamper. And Jacob using a spackle bucket as a climbing toy on the porch, though we have at least 3 or 4 of them in the house also!
A sidenote: Laura, remember that outfit Jacob's wearing?? It seems like you just bought that for Justin for Christmas and now my 3rd little boy is wearing it!! It's kind of neat to take out clothes and have all these nice memories associated with them. I ran accross one blog where the mom uses almost completely second hand stuff from friends and relatives that when her daughter asked for the backstory on a new item, she was dissapointed to find out it was something new. So she made up her own story about someone using it before her. There is something to be said for having a history to your stuff.

It is so cute how your kids use Tom's materials from his job for play toys. Jacob is really becoming quite a cutie pie.
Ooh, Jacob has always been a cutie pie.
