Big Eric Tunnel, Little Joy Tunnel

Hannah, you love to play with your Mega Blocks almost as much as I do. We have a nice routine down. I say I want to play blocks, and you tell me to make a tunnel for all of your trains (and also your ambulance) - and then we busily get to work playing. Today, however, you had complex building plans for your father. You had just come from the other room, you were fresh from a long artwork / coloring session where you would ask us to draw "big Eric" then "little Eric," then "big Joy" and "little Joy," over and over again so you could color them in with all sorts of insane colors. Yes, very fun! You still had Eric and Joy, your favorite art muses, on your mind.

You demanded that I build a big Eric tunnel and a big Joy tunnel.
(Sorry Joy, we started building big Eric tunnel first, and we ran out of blocks,
so you turned out to be a little Joy...)
Hannah, you helped me build, and you made many creative changes throughout the process.
Ultimately, Eric's head was allowed to stay, but...
You decided that his arms had to go.
Apparently you ARE your mother's daughter, after all...
In the end, you checked out how your new people-tunnels worked.
You drove Thomas the Train through Eric's legs a few times and then...
KAPOW! You smashed Eric into little mega block pieces!
I see Kristina has been playing blocks with you when I am at work...
