The Cardboard Challenge and the Brothers' Mansion

This picture makes me smile every time I look at it, which is a lot of times!  Obviously I love the boys' creativity and that they worked together to make something they're proud of.  But, more importantly, I'm so happy that Jakob has such a tight group of friends (the Brothers).  Last night before bed he asked me how long his class will stay together, and I told him it's either fourth or fifth grade.  He was so happy to hear that he has lots more time with this exact group.  :-)
