Building a Bird House at Lowe's

With the threat of serious rain on Saturday, which would have definitely canceled the Fightin Phils' practice, we registered the boys for the build and grow at Lowe's.  TRC canceled all access to the fields so we were off to Lowe's after a lot of cheerleading on my part.  Apparently, the message of no baseball said let's sit and relax to the boys.  But, I'm glad that I won the battle and despite us getting there late, we had the best time. 

Lowe's handed out aprons, goggles and tools.  Nothing cuter than our 6 year olds getting ready to build some bird houses with the appropriate safety gear. 

We followed the directions and tried our best to get the boys involved as much as possible. While there, several of the other parents said that their children became better and better at building with each workshop.  Once baseball is over, we will be able to sign up again. 

Jackson was my building partner and he was doing a great job helping hand me supplies and hammer things in. 

Once the birdhouse was built, it was time for the stickers. Jackson, obviously thought that laying on top of the lumber was the best way to go. 

Our builders with their finished projects. We are not going to put bird seed in as we don't want to attract any unwanted animals with food but we can all hope that it won't be another holder for the Star Wars figures (lucky thinking).
