Saturday- Building Toys, then watching Toy

Computer is back up and running, so its time to catch up on the blog.

Arionna and her Snowman

Alora and her Snowman

This last weekend was a busy one. The girls and I headed to Lowes for Build and Grow clinic, then over to Home Depot for their clinic. Lowe's had the second portion of their train and both Arionna and Alora hammered it out. For Arionna, being one-handed, I held the train. This became a game of nerves as I held the train steady while she whacked it with all her might. Fortunately, her aim was true and I still have all my fingers intact.

Home Depot had a snowman napkin holder. This one was incredibly simple to put together: four screws and it was done in 5 minutes. Home Depot did have some paints for the snowman. Both girls did a really great job and now the two snowmen napkin holders adorn our dinner table, doing their job.

Lowes and Home Depot gives patches and pins after completing the project. Since they are also provided safety goggles, my girls decided to do their version of "Johnny Depp visits Lowes". Yep, below are my two little "Build and Grow Pirates". They are funny little girls.

Barbie and Ken: Great Skating

Buzz and the Aliens

That evening we went to Disney On Ice Toy Story 3 courtesy of Marie's Macaroni Kid. I've attended several Disney On Ice shows and I must admit this was the best one to date. Normally the shows don't get very risky with regards to the skating portion, but during the Ken and Barbie section they did several jumps, spins and other elements which were very good. The show itself was a typical fast overview of the Toy Story plot. Still, it was well done.
