Jack’s Grocery Store Tip: Saddlebag Sodas

I need to help my dad at the grocery store, of course. There’s a lot of important product inspection that I’m in charge of. I sit criss-cross-apple-sauce in the cart (a pre-truck as far as I’m concerned). It’s safer. So when dad gets sodas, I can’t have them in my way, so I told him, [...]

Kids Play: Yard Art

My big sister Lexi is fun. She’s 11-years old, and mostly cool. One of the best non-lame things about her is that she likes art projects. It’s OK that some of her projects are about dresses and Barbies and stuff—please note: NON-truck projects are kinda lame. But it’s extra fun when her creativity combines with [...]

Jack and his dump truck

Your view might be getting in your way

Sometimes it’s hard to see stuff that’s obvious. If it’s right in front of you, you may not be really looking at it, and taking the time to really know it. And you’d be missing out on what makes that thing you like so much pretty cool. In my experience, I’ve learned that sometimes you [...]

Jack’s blog: Stop to think before you make your next move

I’m all about moving fast. I don’t just walk to pick up my trucks. I run. I don’t just stand to wait for something to happen. I bounce. I don’t just hug my dad. I tackle him to the ground with a headlock. Chin out. Tough guy stuff. You get me, right? So it might [...]

Jack’s blog: Building with my dad … starting out simple

I like building stuff. Especially when I get to share my know-how with my dad Mark. I always see him walking around with tools, but I rarely ever see him do anything with them. I think he just likes to drive them around, like me and my sister. You know, I like carrying stuff around, [...]

Stuff makes Jack really think hard about the world

Jack’s blog: Mr. Nicely… Who are you?

Mr. Nicely…. Who are you? I know about imaginary friends. And I’m thinking my sister Lexi has one she calls ‘Nicely.’ Apparently Nicely needs to give me permission EVERY time I want to use her stuff. I grab a Barbie car from Lexi… She says ‘Ask Nicely.’ I take a book from Lexi… She says [...]

Jack’s blog: A ‘Box’ is more than just its insides

So you see a box, and it’s a thing. A container. Something that you fill up with stuff, right? Well, I’ve got some news that you might not really know about yet. And it’s this: A box can become more than just what you see. You might not know this, but my passion in life [...]

Jack’s blog: Sitework and lifting the right way

I’m a busy guy. I don’t have time to get injured and I’m all about power. Power is what keeps me fit and what keeps me from getting all the kid diseases that those other guys seem to be flinging around school. I don’t know about what you see, but I see a lot of [...]
