Kids WorkShop

For those of you who don't know, Home Depot does a free kids workshop the 1st Sat of every month from 9-noon. Now some projects are cooler than other. Reese made a catamaran that really floats, but we skipped the month they made paper-football field goal posts. You can check online to see what the project is before actually venturing out here.

This month in honor of Valentines day the kids made cute little tricket boxes with Hearts. Reese had so much fun gluing the box together and putting the "velvet" lining in. Then we decide we should paint the box before giving it to Grammy. So off we went to the paint department. I haven't been in awhile but Holy Cow how many shades of pink are there??? For fun we went to the Disney section b/c I liked the names of the colors, and Reese liked that the paint chips look like Mickey's head. We settled on Pooh's Kite which was a pinkish purple. I asked for a sample size which only costs $4. A great idea if you ever just need a little of a color for an accent or project.

Once at home we put on some painting clothes, spread out some newspaper, and had some fun painting.

There was a bit of a debate as to who had more paint on the end in the end. I won for volume but Reese won for square inches compared to body size.




Once everyone was washed up we hung out relaxing together.
Not the best family pic, but I'll take it :-)
