Cow Appreciation Day

Friday was Cow Day at Chick-Fil-A, so we put on our spots and headed out to get our free food!

As you can tell, it was pretty sunny and Calvin couldn’t handle it.  I don’t blame him, it was hurting my eyes too!

Our “Splash Pad”

Calvin likes to have our splash pad in the backyard.  It’s just a crazy water squirt thing on the end of the hose..

But as you can see from their dry heads, they don’t really like getting super wet in this one.  At “real” splash pads they get completely soaked and love it!

Day out with Thomas

We headed out to Burnet to see Thomas the Tank Engine come to life!  Calvin wasn’t as into it as we expected, but he talked more about it afterwards.

Calvin was actually more interested in the normal trains that were around (that’s what he’s pointing at)..

He did really love the tattoo he got.  He kept it for a little over a week before it started rubbing off.  Now he tells me “we will get a new Thomas on my hand tomooooorow”

Lowe’s Build and Grow

Saturday morning we headed to Lowe’s for their Build and Grow workshop.

They had little aprons, hammers, goggles, and a kit to build Shrek & Fiona’s onion carriage.  Let’s just say that Calvin loved getting to hit the hammer on everything…maybe not so much the actual “building”.

I’m not sure how I feel about his using a hammer while yawning!

I love how serious he was about it..

All done!

He’s trying to “fix” it.  Luke Calvin forgot to hammer the onion piece to the cart, so he ghettoly taped it until we could fix it at home.

And of course Lucy Kate was their, 4 months old now..

Don’t you just love that scratch on her face?  I haven’t taken her 4 month pics yet b/c I was hoping it would heal up fast!

Every time you attend a workshop you get a little patch to iron on to your apron…kinda like Calvin’s Wilderness Explorer friend Russell :)  So we’ll be sure to attend as many as we can!
