Today I took the kids to the local Home Depot to participate in the Kids' Clinic activity. For those of you out there who are not familiar with this program that Home Depot has, it is a free activity for kiddos where they get a kit to build whatever project is for that month. The clinics are held on the first Saturday of every month. If you want more information, go to the Kids' Clinic website. On their first visit, each kid gets a Home Depot apron. These are like the ones you see on the employees, just smaller. For every project they finish they get a pin to put on their apron. I have joked with the kids that it is kind of like Home Depot Scouts. This month the project was a tile trivet.
Princess and Spike have done these activities on a couple of occasions, but it was a first for Sprout. It was completely appropriate for her right now since she currently has a bit of a munchkin crush on Bob the Builder, and often asks me, "Watch Bob?" She felt mighty proud of herself hammering in the little nails, even if her hammer banging was not always on where it was supposed to be. The big kids did great and did not even need any help for me. I even offered, but they politely declined.
And for your viewing pleasure, here is a clip of Sprout's crazy hammering.
