Home Depot and the Walker

To get the kids out of the house, I took the kids to Home Depot to get paint for Liam’s bedroom. After the squirrel broke though the wall to get it’s kids some food somewhere, it had to be patched up, so it needed a repainting job. Walking into the store, there was a program for kids where they could each build their own pencil holders by gluing, hammering, and a little sanding. Helena wants to go back every week.

Afterward we went to eat, and by the time we got home, Ada’s was lost. We do have some proof that she actually made one, though. Helena, Liam, and Ada all wore their Home Depot aprons in Ikea, and Helena “complained” that everyone was laughing at them, but she was actually quite proud to be wearing them and being centres of attention.

The Walker’s family day was next, and the kids were given GPS units to find caches around the garden, which they liked playing with. They also heard some music, and began to make megaphones out of paper, but we ran out of time for that.

Ada spotted the Spoonbridge and Cherry and took off running after it – she was really excited after going by it so many times on the bus. She’s been there before, but I guess it has been a year since we’ve been to the Sculpture Garden.
