Occasionally on Saturday mornings we like to take the boys to Lowe's to build. These little projects are free and the boys love it.
Here are John and the older boys walking into
Lowe's.
Jack ran into a buddy from his soccer team while we waited.
Jaden wanted to put the wheels on first. He did not want to put it together he just wanted to play with it.
Jack carefully hammering his car together.
Morgan getting all his tools and pieces together and patiently waiting for John to tell him the first step in the directions.
I helped
Jaden a little with the hammer. I thought it would be safer that way.
Jack putting the bottom plate on his car.
Finished product. You may notice that I had a car too; This is because in my haste to put
Jaden's car together fast I did not pay attention to the directions. When I nailed/tacked the bottom plate on I put it on upside-down. In doing that I covered up the
mechanism that allows the car to move forward on its own. So on the second one I made sure to put the plate on correctly. I lined up the holes and hammered away only to find out that it put pressure on the back tire and it would not roll. I am hoping Daddy can sand it down so
Jaden can play with his car. So the lesson in this story is READ the directions.
