Castle Mailbox

Part of the First Grade curriculum at Camden's school is that every child has to write a Valentine's Day letter to his classmates which for Camden (& myself) meant spending many excruciating hours writing 19 letters. I don't want to put my boy in a box BUT it looks like Camden is not going to be a writer. He is a great speller and his penmanship is very good for a First Grader. But he struggles with the creative aspects of writing as do his Mom & Dad and he just plain doesn't enjoy it. He has recently said that Science is the most interesting thing in the world (he didn't get that from me) and Math is the easiest. Too funny! Anyway, to house the letters, Camden also had to create a Castle mailbox. Since I had the opportunity to enjoy the 18 letters, I kindly left this little project for Father & Son. It wasn't quite as fancy as some of the castle's (some parent's sure go all out on such things) but I think it turned out pretty cute:
