The Depot

So EVERY first Saturday — like the continuation of the party of First Friday — The Home Depot has FREE kids workshops. This morning's "kit" was a pencil box. One that you hammer away at for as long as it takes to get our your morning frustration and to allow your mother at least 3 full gasps when you swing aforementioned hammer near your face.

But, nonetheless, you come away proud as a peacock — equipped with a certificate, free sundae card for McD's and a collector's pin. Not too shabby for under an hour's work. PLUS, your Da was thrilled with the design of the kit, you spent an extra hour ogling power tools {that don't plug in, Mama}, and you're set up for a solid nap.
