The weather has turned from unusually warm, back to the regular cold this time of year brings and with some rain and snow yesterday and kids going stir-crazy, we decided to stop off at Michael's and find some sort of craft for the kids to do. We let them each pick out something to build and/or paint and somehow ended up with a theme of sorts. The twins each picked out race car (pinewood derby) kits. And as soon as we got home, they went straight to work.
The final results have made them pretty proud.
Caleb also stuck with a car theme. He begged for his first-ever model car kit. This was from out of the blue for us as he's never shown interest before and it was more money for all the stuff to go with it than we were thinking of spending. But decided it would be worth it if he finds this to be a hobby, which he truly needs more of. So, we went for it. We only got as far as getting the engine built. This mostly consisted of him painting the parts and Mom doing the building, but it's a start. Here's a pic of the engine and what the final product will look like one day.
And like any fabulous spectator at the car races, Faith had to pic out a fabulous purse to sit in the stands with. She picked out a wooden purse trinket box and after a fast paint job and a trip through some of Mom's old scrap booking stickers. This is the result.
A truly one of a kind purse that anyone would be proud to carry to the races.
