Home Depot Kids Workshop

Went to Home Depot yesterday morning to find a 10 foot steady rod to support my sagging photography background paper and to Sonya and Clara's delight, found out that Home Depot was holding its monthly Kids Workshop. Yesterday's project was a Home Depot Fire Boat.

Each kit came with precut wood pieces and accents complete with nails and screws. Sonya and Clara, with help from me, assembled the boat using the hammers and screwdrivers provided by the store. The store also gave pliers to the parents to help steady the nails during the erractic hammerings.

They each got a Home Depot apron and a pin too.

Sonya and Clara really enjoyed the workshop and are already looking forward to the next month when they will be making a spice rack :)

Great Brook Farm State Park

Leaves are starting to change color and I thought we drive to Great Brook Farm State Park in search of some fall colors.

Unfortunately, the trees were still pretty green but there is always the dairy farm to make the trip worth while!

On our way back, we found some beautiful colors still within in the park further down the road from the farm.

The setting sun casting a golden glow on everything. I just wished that I had my flash with me so that Sonya and Clara's faces could be better illuminated.

I dunno what they were doing again...

Sonya and Clara really enjoyed these nature walks so I think we will be exploring more parks in the next few weeks so catch more fall colors :)

Ballet

It is Bring-a-Friend and Peek Week at Boston Ballet.

Clara had Sonya as her special friend in her ballet class. Sonya is of course no stranger to the class or teacher. She almost decided not to join Clara just before the class started but she did eventually and I think she enjoyed herself :)

Clara loved having Sonya in her class. I think Sonya really is the most important person to her besides mummy and daddy.

Sonya had Alana as her special friend in her own class.

Beautiful way to start Sundays :)
