A morning at Lowes

We try to find something to do together as a family on 
Saturday mornings.  Generally in past winter months 
we do swimming lessons, but over the course of the 
last couple of months we have participated in the 
Lowes Build & Grow program for kids.  Twice a 
month on Saturday mornings they have a building 
project for kids to make with parents.  When your 
finished you get a certificate and a badge to put on 
your apron that they give you the first time you attend.  
The best part of it is that it is all free.  The kids love it 
and ask us every Saturday if its time to go to Lowes.  
So far they have made a pumpkin, football goal, 
gingerbread house and this week we made time 
capsules.  We have had a great time doing this and 
we all look forward to it.  Next month we are making 
jewelry boxes (which the boys are going to give to 
their teachers) and race cars.  Should be fun!
