Kimball: Paper put to good use

Paper put to good use

Stowed under my bed are large sheets of paper that I use for making books. I have enough of it, that my boys every so often will use them for various art or drawing projects. This past summer Taylor and Bennett have put them to good use.

The other day Bennett drew up a list of his basketball dream team and taped it to his wall.

Several months ago, Taylor started reading all the books on Lord of the Rings. He was starting to get confused about who was related to who and so he decided to draw up a genealogy chart so he could keep track. Nobody can say he hasn't been working on family history. Just not his. Oh and it's fiction. :)
