kids workshop

after a divide and conquer approach to this morning's errands, i saw that home depot was having their kids workshop today. we went to pick matt up from his eye checkup and asked if he would mind checking out that the "kids workshop" was all about. we have heard about it from several people but have never taken madelyn - boy have we been missing out! unfortunately i didn't have my camera with me so all the pictures are from my phone which doesn't have the shutter speed for taking pictures of children in motion but i don't think these are too blurry to share.

for anyone who doesn't know, they give the kids an apron, a project kit (today's was a bean bag toss), and a pin of the project once you're done to stick on the apron - all for free. madelyn was really excited to be using tools and glue with daddy. she also liked wearing the safety goggles and watching the other kids work. although she was a little annoyed that their hammering made the table jump.
here are some pictures of madelyn and daddy hard at work...


this is definitely something we are going to put on our calendar from now on. it is going to be a great morning out with daddy once a month. next month's project is a firehouse bank. love.

We went and did that today, too! The little corn hole / bean bag toss boards are so cute. Scott was hoping they'd be a little bigger, though, and that he could use them for himself :)
