The Ultimate Big Mack!

My sister Wanda had a great idea to use craigs top bunk bed and make a fort out of it. After drawing up lots of different ideas K.C. and her finally decided on a Mack Truck! And what better for A Craig than a Mack truck! I mean really.

So we went out to Grandma and Grandpa's the Monday before Christmas and Dad and K.C. cut it all out. Then we spent the next three days there just painting and building.

Pretty Good if I do say so myself! K.C. did most of the front and I did most of the side. Annie and Elle basically painted all the red and all the white on the inside and they helped with several of the details too. (The different pieces are just leaning against each other here. It's not actually put together yet)

 

We took it out to our house to complete construction because once it was built it wouldn't have fit through the doors. We had to distract Craig in the living room while we finished. 

My try at a simplified Rust-eze logo. :)

 

K.C. and my dad putting it all together!

It was a perfect fit.

 We through a blanket over it...

 We all gathered around with the cameras to see the unveiling...

 Here he comes....

 Even with the blanket on he could see a corner of the front of him and he was, well the picture describes it very well. He was so excited!

 Pulling the blanket off...

Happy happy boy!

The rest of the story:

He immediately got all of his cars and hauled them up into the fort. He put his rug that has roads on it up there too.

Lunch time came... Craig was still in mack and insisted on eating in there. On his Lightning McQueen plate, with is Lightning McQueen glass. He had a string Cheese and when he was done with it he ran into the bathroom, got his garbage can that has lightning McQueen on it and hauled it into his bed room so we could put it into Mack too.

He has it all very organized it there!

Night Came: Must sleep in Mack. So K.C. put a camping pad in there and for the first time in a long time, Craig stayed in his room ALL night!

Next Day: Just about every moment was spent in mack again, including nap time, meal time and bed time.

Long story short... Craig LOVES his Mack!
What a great Christmas present, thanks for all the good ideas and everyone's help!
