Another honey-do project, done!

The boys here are into archery.  They have been planning for a while to make a real target of our own for the back yard.  Does that sound like an chance for "learning opportunities" or what?

The plan:

The kids honestly did not help much with that.  But they did "help" with The Shopping Trip:

If you count weighing down the cart and checking bolt sizes counts as helping.  Luckily, I do!

The help they provided during the power tools portion of the assembly, was more of the moral support variety.  But they were outside during that phase of work, and found some fuzzy caterpillars on the grass not far from the assembly station, so I'll take it.

Fully on-board with project testing, however!

The closer you stand, the easier it is to hit the target.  True story.

Kids on Wheels

Every Thursday, the boy spends the day with a combination of Dad, Grandma, and Grandpa.  The last few weeks he and Grandpa have been hard at work on a semi-secret project.  Today, they finished it!

Time well spent, I think!
