Little Handymen

We have attended several of Home Depot and Lowe's Kids Clinics recently and have constructed some great projects!  They are a lot of fun and great practice for following instructions and working on those fine motor skills and coordination.

Home Depot - Building and Painting a Bulletin Board

Jake hammering in a nail.

Ford getting a little assistance from Daddy.

The painting part is just as much fun as the building!

They love the carts at Home Depot, so they went for a ride while their finished projects dried. 

 



Lowe's - Shrek's Dragon



A fun dragon to play with.  They had seen Shrek, but I don't think they remembered the dragon.  We watched it a week or so after this workshop and they recognized him.

 

Home Depot - Mini Football goals and paper footballs

 



It was the perfect project for the 1st College Football Saturday!  Go TECH!

Playing some paper football, which later turned into scoring goals with their dart guns.   

Lowe's - Chuck E Roller

A mini version of Skeeball!

Lowe's - Fire Truck

Another fun one and also a favorite type of transportation!

1st Day of Pre-K 4!

We were all excited and ready for the first day of school!  Ford and Jake returned to the same school as last year but are now in the 4 year old class.  Since their school is only 3 and 4 year olds, they are officially the big kids in school!  Ford has his same teacher as last year, Ms. Boss.  He was thrilled to see her before school started and is excited to be a ladybug again with several friends from last year.  Jake has a different teacher this year, Ms. Schrenkeisen (Ms. S).  It is the shoe class and he has a few friends also from last year in his class. 

Every day at pick-up it is non-stop chatter in the car.  Since the boys are in different classes, they are excited to see each other and share what they did at school.  It's hard to believe that a year from now they will be starting Kindergarten!



We were so excited for school!
