Building Wagons

After we finished our breakfast with Santa, we proceeded to Home Depot for their monthly kid workshop. We had always heard great things about this and the project was building a wagon. Perfect project! Chris and I helped each of them build their wagon. I actually can say that Connor did more than I did since he nailed most of the nails himself and applied the glue. Brady, I think, needed a little more assistance with his but seemed to do a large amount of hammering himself also.

We passed on the option to paint the wagons there since they would have to dry. The kids received a certificate of completion and a pin for their Home Depot apron. We then let them pick out a small container of paint to finish the project at home. On Sunday, Chris had to get creative with creating a paint area for them inside the house. He had the floor and table all layered with coverings and threatened their life if they got any paint anywhere else. He said they did great and the wagons are complete (and VERY RED).
