Home Depot has a kid workshop on the first Saturday of each month. I had been wanting to take the kids for months and this time I finally seized the opportunity. Jack was with Uncle Jake and didn't want to join us so I helped Charli construct the birdhouse while Everett and Jordon found some supplies* I had requested.

 

 

There was a great setup to paint the finished project, tons of paint, and plenty of brushes. I was really impressed at how smoothly it went.

 

 

Charli earned her first certificate along with a nice pin to collect on her new apron (free to kiddos who come!)and we saw a classmate of Jack's there too.

 

 

The George's dropped off this sweet chair I bought from them for Jack. All the kids like it but Everett looks especially adorable don't you think?

 

Jake, Nana, and Jen came over for a visit and helped the kids paint their fun cardboard playhouse.

 

Rest time after a busy morning!

 

Everett loves when Charli sings and dances for him!

 

* the supplies I asked Jordon to get were anti-tipping hardware to secure all of our dressers, bookshelves, and armoire. I had bought the supplies when Jack was a baby actually, but we never used them. Then I came across this blog post. I move our furniture around about once a month. No more.

If you have children or there is a chance a child will visit your home you should read it. $5 and 15 minutes to spare a lifetime of heartache. ANCHOR YOUR FURNITURE!!! You will be amazed when you see how smallof a dresser changed this family's life. It could happen to any of us. Please anchor your furniture, and share the blog post with others!
