I’m totally behind on my blog and out of chronological order here, but I’m going to do some catch up in the days ahead. First up, woodworking class which started again this month after a hiatus for the winter months where we don’t have enough daylight and people are generally too busy. Even this class was a little low on light but part of that was due to bad weather. When off-and-on rain was predicted for the day of class, Bruce decided to set up a tarp off the garage rather than cancel the class. It was a little crowded but it worked! Here’s the beginning of class with Bruce’s explanation of the project — making a T-Rex.
I couldn’t get the whole sign in the shot and didn’t even see the best part until the next day when the kids were playing with the sign.
This project entailed a lot of sawing. I mean a lot.
There was some drilling, too.
Ezra chose not to participate in this project. I think the crowded garage was just too noisy for him. He went on a bike ride instead.
Actually, Finn didn’t make a T-Rex either, come to think of it. Hopefully they’ll participate in future classes.
What they did enjoy was the dinner afterwards, which was moved inside because it was cold and drizzling outside. Ezra and Bruce built a fire and these crazy kids (the Moision and Detterich boys and Ruby, who always jumps right in) played a game of going outside to get cold and running inside to warm up by the fire. Pretty soon, they were all in their underwear and covered in wet grass from rolling around on the lawn.
I guess you can take the kid out of Cottage but you can’t take Cottage out of the kid!
