The Home Depot 5.7.11

Logan was SO excited to get to work.
I really appreciated the employees helping Logan learn the right way to use all the tools.


That's shaping up to be a very nice flower pot.


Ta-Da!




For months and months I had been hearing about how The Home Depot offers little workshops for kids on the first Saturday of the month. The kids get a Home Depot apron, they get to complete a project of some kind, and once they are done, they get a pin representing that item to pin onto their new apron. And all of this is FREE!!!! I had been so wanting to take Logan, but Saturdays are his days with Mike. Well, Mike had a mini-shift this week, so Logan and I jumped in the car and headed to our local Home Depot. What was really neat {besides simply being able to participate} was that because it was so close to Mother's Day, the project was intended to be a Mother's Day gift. Perfect! When we got there we ran into Craig and Macie who were just finishing up their projects and then it was Logan's turn. He was making a flower pot. So cute. The employee helping him was so great. He explained to Logan all about tool safety and then we followed along with the instructions and lo and behold it wasn't but a few minutes later that Logan had completed his first Home Depot project. What a great experience. Logan said he had a lot of fun and we decided we definitely need to get back and do it again when we get a chance. Life is good with a handy little fella around the house! ;o)
