Little builders

Yesterday Chris took the boys to Lowe's to do one of their kids building workshops. I've always wanted to sign the boys up for one of these and I finally got around to it a few weeks ago. They had so much fun and we've already signed them up for the next one in a couple of more weeks.

For their first workshop they made wooden UFOs. They were each given a kit with all of the supplies they needed which included the wood, nails, stickers, and even a little light to put on the top. You push it down and it glows bright red. They were given little hammers to complete the job and they both did a really great. Along with their UFOs they brought home a certificate of completion and a patch. I think they usually give out work aprons to the kids, and I'm assuming that the patches are for that. So hopefully next time they'll each get one to start collecting the patches on. Maybe if we get them into enough of these workshops, then next summer they'll be ready to build me a new deck! Oh, if only......
