We got our new school room up and running (Such a big room. I am loving the large, albeit drafty, windows.) and then Todd brought in something I never expected. A lathe! This is a current picture of our school table:
Why a lathe? Well, the kids are participating in their annual pinewood derby race for Awana and thought it would be fun to make the cars into shapes. My husband rocks!
Each of the kids chose a theme (okay Sadie didn't really choose hers.) and Todd helped them pencil the shape onto the wooden block. Then they each got to be helper while he worked on their car. ie., They ran the shop vac. ;-)
Here's a pic of the cars so far. Left to right we have:
Ellie: Hello Kitty
Silas: Race car
Avrie: Boat
Evelyn: Minion
Sadie: Baby bottle
They will get to sand on them and paint them up at Awana. I'll post finished pictures. Evelyn was so excited when I told her we had a googly eye that would be perfect for her one-eyed minion! Sadie has been carrying her bottle around all over the house. Avrie has already painted a bit on her boat and Ellie and Silas are ready to begin painting next Awana. I can't wait to see what each of them do to create their vision!
Have a blessed day! ~Tammy
