Monthly Home Depot Projects

On the first Saturday of each month Home Depot puts on these little projects for the kids to do.  They are given an orange apron, on which they can collect their pins each month.  The pins represent the projects they had finished.  We went about two or three years ago and made fire engines, but then didn't go again until last month, when we made the Valentine shelves.  Today we made little orange race cars.  The kids have so much fun making these cute little projects, and the staff at the store is usually so patient and helpful with them.  I think this will become a monthly activity for us.  :)

My cute little models

Look at those cute little smiles.  They all did a great job on their projects.

Here is Brenna proudly showing off her little projects.  She is such a ham...  look at that cute little smile.

Corby is a little natural with the hammer a nails.  I think he is taking after Grandpa Thompson in doing wood work.

Maren is perfection.  She has such a steady hand and a good eye for things like this.

My handsome little model.  He did great also.  Putting things just right, so patient in waiting for  an adult to help.  Conner is my laid back little man.  So patient, so calm, so sweet.  ;)

Here are the pins they earn.  Maren's goal is to have them cover her apron. 

Meowy has become a race track.  I guess is makes sense, he is grey and has stripes, just like a road, right?  Here is the Meowy Cat Speed way!!!!!
