Finished Flower Boxes

Ok so I have been really slacking lately but here are the boys finished boxes from the last HD days project. I know the poor flowers don't look great but I think it's because we have this cray neighboorhood cat & I think he has been laying on the flowers. Oh well not much I can do about that but I promise I am watering them & getting them lot's of sunshine.

HomeDepotDays

Yeah it was our day out to the HomeDepot again! (Wow they get their money out of us, they sure know what they are doing offering "free" kids projects.) The boys got to build planter boxes. They turned out really good. We then went to the garden center and let them pick out flowers to put into them. We are all getting really excited for Spring, the boys and I planted some Lillies and Strawberries last week and we will finish up their new boxes tomorrow. I will add more pics once they are done. In case I haven't said it, I love that HD plans these activites it is great to get out of the house and have something fun to go do.

NASCAR

Ok so we are not big NASCAR fans but I loved the HD project this month. The boys got to build the HD NASCAR, the best part was the prestained the wood for us "No Painting" YEAH! The boys haven't stopped racing them around the house since the finished them. We only had one little problem the tried to lick the car and ended up with the Orange Stain all over his mouth, it was pretty funny. Maybe one day he will learn that not everything goes in your mouth. I can't say enough about the Project Days they are so much fun, I think I look forward to them as much as the boys do, we all have a great time going together.

SuperBowl Football Stools

Ok so I know that this was a while ago but better late than never right. This was the February project at the Home Depot. The boys had a great time, I know Matt doesn't look like he is really having fun but he seems to have a great time with all the tools. Ok so lazy mom still hasn't helped them paint the stools. Maybe this week.

Castle Banks

Yeah finally we got to go back to the Kids Days @ Home Depot! This is one of the boys favorite things to do but we were just to busy to get to the December activity. This month the boys got to build really cute Castles that the roof comes off of to "Store their Valuables" in. The boys both had a great time. Jake & Daddy got them painted with Matt napped. Leave it to Matt to sneak out on the work.

Matt thinks he works at the HD he makes himself right at home.

Pirate Ships

So this was a fun day at the Home Depot. This months project was Pirate Ships, as you can see we couldn't get Matt to hold still long enough for any pics but he did let me get a few when we got home. Jake had such a good time, he couldn't wait to make it float, it's a good thing that he is willing to float it on the carpet and the tables since this one can't go into the water. Jake loves getting to use any tools he can find. Mom only ended up with one smashed finger and a little bit of blood (good thing Jake wanted to paint his red). Can't wait till next month, gotta love Home Depot for entertaining the kids especially during the winter. It was packed their were all kinds of kids there it was pretty fun & a little crazy.

Fire Truck

Today Jake got to go the the Home Depot Kids days. He built a Fire Truck that holds crayons, it turned out really cute, he was proud of his project. They also had a real Fire Truck there, he got to climb in it and check out lot's of neat buttons. The firemen even let him put on one of there hat's and sit in the drivers seat. It was a pretty great day. We can't wait till Matt is big enough to do a project to.
