When I saw that Lowes had a kids workshop to build a firetruck I knew I had to sign the boys up! Usually Saturday mornings we are too busy, too lazy, or uninterested in the craft to go. Well, I signed up weeks early and as luck would have it, that weekend got filled up (well, at least for Dad). I was insisting on going, even if I had to take a bus home (since Dad needed the car). Dad dropped us off, we found the class and it was super full, and loud with all the kids hammering. The instructor said we could take our kits and build at home, and we did! The boys didn't mind, it was too loud for them too! Thanks to my mom for shuttling us home :) The next fun part was the actual build. Since I do not read instructions and maps very well I was worried that I wouldn't be able to help the boys put this seemingly easy firetruck together. It took me a minute to get my momentum....Jesse even used one of his new vocabulary words by saying, "Mom, you are not an 'expert' at this are you...?" No I am not, son.... :) That's why I married your Dad, and call your Aunts ;)
After a few bent nails....
Ta..Da!!! We did it!!!
Another great time with my boys. Love the smiles and hugs afterwards. I feel like a hero :)
