We had such a fun family day today. We started out by going to the Home Depot for their kid's workshop. I've known about it for awhile, but we have always been busy or unable to make it for whatever reason. Now, I think it's going to be a monthly treat! Carter had such a ball, and he was so proud of the boat that he built. The smile on his face when we were done was about a mile long!
Hammering!
Ava clipped her finger and then refused to hammer for the rest of the project. She really preferred painting the best.
Interesting way to hold a hammer.....
Ava painted a pink and purple ship, Carter's was brown and blue.
It was crowded so Dawson and Daddy worked in a different location so I didn't have any pictures until completion. Apparently he liked it, but really Mike did most of the project. It says all ages, but I think it is really geared for ages four and up.
Every child that goes receives an orange apron and a pin. Each month that they participate they receive a different pin for their apron. They made these old fashioned ships that could be used at a thanksgiving table to hold a small salt and pepper shaker.
We called them the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria. Meme, I hope you have room at your Thanksgiving table for some ships!
On to the rest of the day.......
Every morning while Daddy is packing his lunch Dawson begs for some frosty beans. Mike packs a frozen brown rice and black beans mix and adds other goodies to the mix. Dawson loves to eat the frozen black beans (frosty beans)! So today for breakfast he asked for a bowl of frosty beans! Mike picked out a bunch of black beans and I added some frozen edamame. Interesting breakfast all right!
After a quick trip to Target for some costumes at 70% off we came home to lasagna and movie night. Iron Man and Thomas!
Plus a beautiful bee! We watched Alice in Wonderland for the first time. Dawson wouldn't sit for a second, but Carter and Ava were glued to it. What a fun day!
Great job on the boats! A very neat idea.
