When a regular airplane just won't do...

My boys like paper airplanes.  A lot.  They make them everyday, by the dozens.  They have several airplane-making books.  Joe, especially, has become quite good at it, too.  Other kids come to him to have him make airplanes for them, because his are just so darn good.  The only problem (and it's a big one) is that the boys cannot seem to part with any plane they have made.  Planes fall out of my bookshelves all day long; they fill the spaces under their beds and on top of their dressers.  Too many times I've gone to print something off the computer and can't, because all the paper has been made into airplanes.

So it seems, this afternoon, my oldest son has outgrown the simple 8.5 x 11 airplane size, and he has started taping multiple sheets of paper together to make a bigger, better plane.  I expect to be out of paper and tape by dinner time.
