We took the summer off but started up woodworking classes again two weeks ago. We now have the Bannings as hosting partners, so the first Fall class was at their house. Sadly, I took no pictures at their event but it was very successful — the kids made little cars and a good time was had by all.
I was much more on the ball Friday afternoon when the class was at our house. Project number 6 was stools.
For the first time we had a full house, which amounted to 23 kids (20 making stools) and 18 adults. It started, as usual, with Bruce’s instruction.
And then they were off and sawing.
Or marking and drilling.
And laughing. This is Ashlyn and she was cracking up at Bruce who kept spelling her name wrong. He’s so silly.
There were lots of screws, which were kind of hard to get in. But they persevered!
And, finally, painting.
Ezra decided on another form of decoration.
And here are some of the final products.
Then it was time to eat, drink, and be merry. The kids played until pizza arrived.
Then ate a boat load of pizza.
And watched Ezra perform some crazy stunts in the backyard.
Or maybe he was just looking for a quiet place to eat.
Whatever the case, it was a super fun party and a great way to celebrate a Friday. We are blessed to have such a fun group involved in this project.
Oh, one more thing. Ezra and Ruby reprised their dual story telling with a couple of new scary stories. Couldn’t have been cuter.
After everyone else had gone home, they went up to the reading porch and read for Finn. Super cute.
