Home Depot Crafts

The first Saturday of the month is Home depot for Daddy and the boys. Kobe and Kian assembled two catamarans without hurting Daddy's thumbs too bad. Great job, well done!

Home Depot Day

The boys survived yet another trip to Home Depot to make new things of wood, glue and stickers. Everybody and their third cousin twice removed showed up and were packed into the space in the back of the store, helping their kids to nail the pieces together whilst suppressing silent cries when the hammer would hit parental fingers adjacent to the nails meant to penetrate the woodwork. A trip that on most Saturdays would take about an hour, was because of the bottlenecking of yearning workshop masses extended to close to two-and-a-half. The craft of the month was a beautifully decorated pencil box with a couple of wooden flowers to boot. Kobe and Kian both were so proud of what they had assembled that Karis also wanted to pose for the camera when her brothers came back home.

Home Depot Day

Daddy and the boys went off to Home Depot for their monthly trip. Kids Workshops are free "How-To Clinics" designed for children. The workshops are offered on the first Saturday of each month between 9:00 a.m. and noon at the Home Depot store. Children accompanied by an adult construct projects from pre-fabricated kits. The kits are designed to be both educational and practical. And the boys as usual had fun constructing their project. Today they built a planter-box, and even pounded most the nails themselves, while daddy tried hard to hold the wood pieces together - and not have his thumbs struck by the occasional hammer that missed the head. It is one of the highlights of the month, and Kobe and Kian are very proud of what they accomplished...
