Purely by chance Russell and Charles discovered that Lowe's has projects for kids on Saturday mornings. Russell and Charles had a Saturday father/son day while Micah and I went spent the day in Oklahoma City at my sister-in-law's baby shower. Russell was fixing a section of the fence that had blown down in a summer storm and realized he didn't get enough parts when we were at Lowe's. He and Charles wen to get the part and found the children's project right in front of the part Russell needed. Charles didn't want to participate at first, but then decided to take part. They made a hole for putting a plastic golf ball. Since then, he's been talking about the next project...a pirate ship (for the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything)! Saturday we took him and he had a blast. Now he's asking about the helicopter project (he calls it an airplane) that's not until the end of July. Never mind the treasure chest project that he can do in two weeks.
Some pictures:
Trying to get Charles to pose with his project. He got an apron to wear while he's working.
They give out patches to sew on your apron. Sadly, we've misplaced the one from this weekend.
The finished project and his patch. We don't have pictures of the pirate ship. But, I'm sure there will be many more projects to post in the future!
