Sci-Quest had a grand reopening today, which included some activities  such as building a parachute out of a coffee filter.

Katie Beth had fun making things out of gumdrops and toothpicks.  The moon bounce was fun of course.

It is time to hang bird houses  so what better time to build one.  Katie Beth got the build and paint a new bird house featuring a Lowe’s front door.

I don’t know what Katie Beth like best the building or painting as Lowe’s doesn’t ever include painting during their workshops.  Painting was our extra step at home.

You can see the photos here.

Katie Beth learned about a bit about a Trojan Horse and got to build a Trojan Horse Bank.  The craft was different in that it included stickers to give it to look of a Trojan Horse.

I love how Katie Beth brings her tool box, with her tools, built during a previous workshop.

Today, Katie Beth got to make a really cool wood craft at Lowe’s.  It is a Claw Game with little prizes for the inside and an actual claw to catch them.

You can see more photos here, but I missed capturing the finally built Claw Game in action.  The username and password are “friends” and “photos”.

Well, the snow has continued and Karen is excited, but because I am not going into work.  We got serious and pulled out all of the sleds and toboggan.  After we had a couple practice runs on the driveway, Katie Beth was ready to the neighborhood hill.

But, if the toboggan got too fast, Katie Beth still wanted to brake with her hands.  It was nice meeting some neighbors and pulling kids on the sleds and toboggan.

The day ended in the hot tub.

Katie Beth got a snow day!  She is very excited, but the road very passable so I am off to work.  Karen and Katie Beth played in the snow.

We have a few photos that you can see here.  The username and password are “friends” and “photos”.

This weekend, Katie Beth got to build a Heart Shaped Card holder at Lowe’s.  As simple as this design was, it turned out to be hard to line up all the parts and associated nail holes.

Now, she is ready for Valentine’s Day.

Today, Katie Beth made a Home Depot Stock Racer Car.  At least, the car wasn’t pink, but it had some pink.

Today, Katie Beth had fun building a desk calendar during Home Depot Workshop.  We need to work on the desire to paint things pink.
