Lane has a kid-sized tool bench that he loves to play with. Bumpa Ted made it for him and set it has been a hit. Lately though, Lane has been begging his Daddy to help him build something real. So imagine his delight when he and Morgan accompanied Ryan to Home Depot on a recent Saturday. They have a kids workshop and projects for the kids to complete. Real projects.
The man in charge couldn't have chosen two better suited projects for these two kiddos. A bug box for Lane and an organizer for Morgan. When they got home, they were higher than kites and were tripping over themselves trying to describe their experience to me.
The bug box was toted around the rest of the day. Lane collected flowers to feed the bugs and then (with Daddy's help) introduced a beetle and a spider to their new home.
He was very proud of his project, so proud that he really wanted to take it to bed. Thankfully, he agreed with me when I mentioned that bugs are used to living outside and should probably remain just outside the front door. Whew!
Here's little Miss Organizer herself with a new home for her bears. These creatures
are used to being inside so she lucked out and they got to sleep on the table next to her bed. I'm guessing that a few more Saturday trips to Home Depot are in our future!
