Building Boys
















For the past few weeks our boys have had lots of fun at Lowe's Build and Grow workshops. This Saturday the project was a bird feeder. They've also built planters and tic tac toe game boxes. They recommend the workshop for kids just a little bit older, but with three boys, no one wants to be left out, so we signed them all up. Kudos to Lowe's for coming up with so many fun projects for kids and letting us all participate (and for free too). Caleb was really excited the first week when we handed him a hammer. Actually, he was happy to stand and hammer the table, while I got his brothers started. (Noisy, but harmless, so why not?) Daniel and Liam are very proud of the projects that they've made. It is so cute to see them so focused with their little hammers, in their little red aprons, and totally awesome safety goggles. After each project they receive a patch of completion for their apron. So fun. Daniel and Liam even painted their bird feeders at home afterward.

We love those workshops too! My girls love to hammer and build. Lowe's also has a similar program that is free too and they meet twice a month for theirs
