Last Saturday all our kids participated in the “Monster Truck” kids’ workshop at Lowe’s, our first. Every Lowe’s has these free building workshops twice a month, though you need to preregister online. When you arrive, you get an apron, safety goggles and a kit with everything you need but the hammer on the table. I helped my son while my husband helped my daughters and although I am pretty clueless when it comes to building things the directions were so clear that I could almost(!) follow them. We actually only had one mishap but thankfully we were able to get duplicate parts from another kit. When we finished, the kids received a certificate with their names on it, a patch they can sew on their apron and a free coupon for a small Frosty at Wendy’s, and of course, their handmade project! They can keep the apron and goggles to bring back next time. I was really impressed and already signed up for another. Next month we hope to try the one at Home Depot, too. Just think how handy I may get to be! (Okay, that’s doubtful.)
