Home Depot Kids Workshop...

Mike and I discovered, by accident, that Home Depot sponsors a Kids Workshop once a month. They provide the kids with a work apron and they can earn a pin to put on their apron for every workshop they complete. Well Bryce has been a couple times now and Ian went for the first time this month. Mike and the boys arrived a little early, the workshop begins at 10am here and so they spent the time walking around home depot looking at power tools and other such manly stuff. Mike said he had a blast with them. He said that both Bryce and Ian would imitate his every move and repeat whatever he said. For instance, he was walking with the boys down the lumbar isle, checking out wood for a future project. He would tell the boys what type of wood he was looking at and them tell them to smell it...the boys would smell it and then lovingly run their hands across it... Mike had to warn them about splinters... though it did little to deter them. LOL! Mostly, Mike said he just enjoyed watching the boys get excited about things that caught their fancy and he enjoyed showing them how things worked.

At any rate this week the boys built pine wood derby tracks and were given little cars to race on them. They had the best time, and even slept with the cars and tracks that night! Next month it's bird houses. Should be fun!

I and Spencer, spent a very enjoyable hour or so at the HUGE JoAnn fabrics store right behind home depot. I should just call it what it is, an hour of torture! LOL! I could spend hours in there looking at everything I can't afford to buy! Nevertheless, Spencer and I had our own fun! What's more I get to do it at least once a month, when it's Home Depot Kids Workshop day. I'm a glutton for punishment. The only thing that could make it more fun would be to have a friend with me who can appreciate all the wonders of JoAnn's..... any volunteers????

Here is sweet Spencer after a long morning of "torture"! Enjoying his favorite lunch....hot dogs!
