An Orange Derby Car

My friend told me about the 1st Saturday of the Month Craft Day at Home Depot which is free to the Public. I had never been but I asked my Parents if they would like to check it out today. So we headed on over to our local store and followed the signs back to the craft area. We signed the little ones in, got our free apron and pin, and then proceeded over to the craft section where there were about 20 children along with their parents doing the craft that was handed out.

When we got to the table I realized I wasn't in my element!!! So, I looked to my Dad who has made many, many little cars (due to him being in charge of a boy's ministry) for a little help!

Me - "Ummm. Dad, I don't know what I am supposed to be doing?"

Dad - "Carmen, just read the directions!"

Me- " I don't like reading directions. I don't even know how to hammer a nail in straight!"

Dad- "And you said you are going to homeschool!"
Me- "Hammering a nail doesn't have anything to do with Homeschooling!"

I thought, "I need help! Well. At least I can copy what he does and then do it."

So, I opened up the package. "Praise The Lord, everything is pre-drilled!"

With everything being pre-drilled half the battle was over but then I remember I still can't hammer a nail! Okay, I can hammer a nail but not straight! I tired a few times and then began to think, "This takes a lot of practice!" But then I looked over at my Dad to see what to do next. It was at this time, that I saw my daughter, who was doing just fine! And then I realized "No, it is just me who can't hammer a nail."

I got a few nails started for the Little Man but it didn't take me long to realize that I should just move out of the way! Even my two year old could hammer a nail straight.

The Little Man kept saying, "Mom. This is fun."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beloved likes to do wood work.
And, I am really glad because I sigh with relief that I won't have to teach it.
