Building at the Home Depot (the drama)


Every month they have a kid's "clinic" at the Home Depot where they have these cute little kits to put together. Last month Grandma Neenie came up and took the kids and they made jewelery boxes and they had a blast. So we marked our calendars for this months "Speedway" building day, Harrison couldn't wait (this is important later). So today Uncle Dan and Lonni and the kids and I got ready to go meet Grandma Neenie to make the very anticipated speedway.... and Avery threw what I can honestly say what was the most horrifying fit(like I have never seen before) before we were even in the car. So after that major drama(which was delightful to deal with in front of company) we are all finally in the car and heading to Home Depot. So now Avery is over it and in a good mood and Grandma Neenie calls and says she is there and they are out of the speedway kit. Now Harrison is all mopey and sad, he was not buying that bookends were just as good. Couldn't they have just had the misery moment at the same time. We get there, we don the orange aprons and make a set of bookends and a flower pot(which Avery actually liked better) And Grandma Neenie saved the day by not only getting donuts but by going back in with Harrison for the next session and getting him a speedway to make at home. So here are some pictures from what was a very stressful morning event:)

(And Dan and Lonni not only survived but went to a city festival with us afterward, pictures will follow shortly)
