Home Depot is awesome. Once a month, our local store holds a Kid's Workshop. The kids get their own kid-sized trademark orange Home Depot apron, a certificate of completion, and a pin with a picture of their project to attach to their apron (one 8-year girl must have had 20 pins on her chest). And a kit with everything you need to bulid the project. Although Max still hasn't gotten his apron yet (they are continually out of stock each time we go), he bested all of them this time with his Max-sized "real" leather work gloves. Aprons are for girls, he says! Once he got wrangled those gloves on, he and Dad got to work on Project #4: a wooden pencil box with a sliding top.
(Here is a list of prior projects: Project #1: A charging valet. Project #2: A toolbox. Project #3: A coaster set - which we actually use daily!)

| It wasn't long before Max wanted the gloves off so that he could really get going. |

This was the first time they had paints available.
OF COURSE, it would be the day that Dad picked out a white shirt for Max. |
 |
| And this is why it's so hard to get pictures of Max these days without distracting him with an activity. He either runs from the camera, or if he can't, he'll cover his face (as he did during this attempt to get a shot of his bed-head). |
