A Trip to The Home Depot's Kids' Workshop

One of the things the girls and I did together on Saturday, my last work-free one for the next few months, was go to The Home Depot's Kids' Workshop. Home Depot holds these workshops on the first Saturday of each month, and the kids enjoy participating in them. This month, they had fun putting together small wood-framed dry-erase boards.

The nine-year-old insisted on painting the wooden frame of her dry-erase board, much to my dismay. Just as I feared would happen, she got paint on her shirt.

The eight-year-old was content to simply cover the frame with stickers. But the stickers were covered in glitter, which we all know was spawned in the infernal realms.

The six-year-old begged to be allowed to paint her frame, but she was wearing much nicer clothing than the nine-year-old. So I told her no. She put a bunch of stickers on, and then asked her oldest sister, who was already painting, if she would consent to paint hers also. She agreed. Unfortunately, the six-year-old still managed to get blue paint on the white lace trim of her shirt. Grr!
