Home Depot Saturday

On the first Saturday of every month Home Depot has a kids workshop. You just show up between 9am and 12. It's a project just right for kids ages 5-12. Mason learned about it at school when they came to his class and helped them make bird houses. He was so excited and wouldn't let me forget when the next first sat. was. So last month was our first time going and they made little wagons. They give them an apron and a pin when they complete the project. The kids had a blast. We brought them home and the kids painted them right away. I forgot to get a picture of the finished ones.


So today we went again and I remembered my camera this time. We invited friends to come with us this time too. They made perpetual calendars.

George and Dalton working together. They became best friends from the moment we moved here. They are in the same Primary class at church.

Mason and Kayden are the same age too and love playing together.

And then there's MJ and Tenley, a dangerous combination. She's only 3 but acts like a little teenager too. Their cuteness is their weapon.

So we got home after a 2 hour lunch at McDonald's with the Jensen's and started painting.

And this is the finished project. Aren't they cute. Mason stained his and the other 2 painted theres. The peg goes across the top for the days of the week. And you turn the cubes and months.

Here are 2 of the pins that they've earned. Mason has one more because of his birdhouse.

What a great way to spend a Saturday. We decided we are going to make it a tradition with the Jensen's. We just had too much fun not to.
