Father's Day Weekend

I hope everyone had a great Father's Day and showered the much deserving Dad's with love and maybe a couple gifts. We spent Father's Day on Mark Twain Lake with Tim's family and had a great time. Didn't get any pictures though - you'll have to ask Pam or Betsy for some photos of the tubing or Theo (pretending) to drive the boat. This was his first time on the boat - he's more of a captain than anything else. The water was a little cold in the cove we swam in - which we figured out last night after wards that it was close to a spring fed area so that's why it was colder. The water was actually warmer in the main channel. After the boating we had a family meal at the Rustic Cabin then headed back to Columbia.


So these photos are from Saturday. Since it was Father's Day weekend - why not do a project with Mom :)


Home Depot was having their monthly Kid's workshop - which we have yet to participate in due to our crazy schedules. So I packed up the kids and headed to Home Depot so we could make our tool boxes. The girls are all outfitted with their "tools" and kits for the tool boxes. I do have to say they are ridiculously cute - I could be biased.


We are almost done with the constructing. I'm trying to help both with the hammering - but still let them do it.



That's where our trusty Home Depot associate Blake comes in to assist so we can get both girls hammering.


Last step is the Ryobi stickers that came with the kit.

Finished - and proud of our work. They also cleaned up their work stations too if you noticed.

The girls also got certificates of completion which they proudly showed their Dad when they got home.

And since we are girls we had to paint our toolboxes.

Saturday afternoon we had a birthday party for the girls, dinner with friends, and then some serious crashing. Sunday was much the same, but well worth it for time with the family on the boat.
