The Hammer Incident

I was in the kitchen the other day, when Owen came running up the stairs, terrified, saying, "Lucy's trying to hit me with the hammer!"

He scurried into the pantry, shutting himself inside- still clutching his lego creation he was in the middle of making. Sure enough, Lucy came bounding into the kitchen flailing a full-size hammer that weighs just about as much as she does.
She heard Owen in the pantry and struggled to open the door with one hand, while swinging the hammer into the pantry with the other- laughing out loud the entire time.
My little angels.

Oh- and I do not recommend giving your children a home-made tool box with real tools inside. We've been learning from our mistake since Christmas morning of '07.

Any holes to walls or doors? Lucy looks like she can fend for herself.

What happened on Christmas Day of 2007? Was it an hammer incident?
You could be a professional photographer with all the darling snaps you get! Keep 'em coming. And I love your blog!

Thanks for the warning...we'll keep LUcy away from hammers at nursery.

I love that you grabbed your camera instead of the hammer. I totally would have done the same thing. I also love seeing little petite sweet Lucy hauling around a big hammer and looking for her big brothers.

I hope I never see a "Screwdriver Incident" post...

That Lu is so funny, she's just putting Owen in his place for all the times he said "I hate you to Jack"...
