Before, Create, And After

My boys were busy the other morning with their first real wood and power tools project.  It started first with a long, on-going problem with a tiny folding table being used for their school computer.  If all they needed was the monitor and key board it wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that they have to dangle their legs around the criss-crossed legs of the folding table, which is uncomfortable.  Anyway, the bigger problem was that anytime they needed to write out their math facts or phonics assignments from the computer they would have to put the key board on their lap while putting their notebook on the table top.  Then when they were through writing out their problem, they would have to exchange the key board on their lap with the notebook.  Well, I came up with an idea and showed them the plan.  They practically did the rest by themselves with some supervision.  It was an easy fix that I should have thought of ages ago and it was an easy project for their first time building projects.   They did a great job.
