The Joys of Home Depot and General Conference Activities!

So yesterday was the first Saturday of the month, and as such my boys were excited to go to Home Depot for their monthly children's workshop. One of my favorite things about going is that it is free! except gas. And the kids get to build something different every month. This month was firetrucks. Michael is more interested in playing with his than Isaac is, but at least he enjoyed playing with the hammer while we were building them. Then the folks at Home Depot announced they had the real firefighters there with their real fire engine outside for the kids! They allowed the children to climb in and out of it, and explore and ask questions about anything they saw in the fire engine. Both Michael and Isaac loved it. It was loads of fun.
Last month we bought some five gallon buckets, and the kids have really enjoyed playing with them. Isaac is just the right size, and Michael was upset when he didn't fit like Isaac did.
So, I had to go to JoAnn's Fabric store to get some cloth, and found this fleece in their remnant pile. The fabric wasn't shaped right to make a single blanket out of each. But cut up, I can make two blankets for the new baby! Both Michael and Isaac love the scraps I cut off. They used them as fire hoses in their new fire trucks! This is just the design of one of the blankets. The other will be more of a patchwork design.

PS: Third trimester and counting.
