Last Weeks Happenings

We've been doing a bit of DIY around these parts, (more on that coming soon) but with that comes lots of trips to Home Improvement stores. We went to Home Depot one morning for some paint and Ty left (again) with another wooden toy kit for him to put together with his Dad!

Maylee and I just watched of course. 

 Observing at first,

 then helping Dad place the nails properly and even glue and hammer a bit.

 Maylee starting a collection of random items near the door.

 Oh and just like that his new Hertz moving truck is done!

 The back has a wooden piece that slides up and down so you can store little toys in the back.

 Last Saturday was the Stake Pioneer Day activity. It was a huge activity with tons of stuff to do. We ate some lunch then headed to the fishing station. Ty was really excited,

 he caught a pin wheel! Bummer part was was he didn't think others should have a turn, only him. So he started throwing a fit.

 We dragged him over to the Milk Bottle Throw and he threw a few balls to knock them over and then threw another fit that he couldn't do it over and over with out letting others have a turn. 

 SOOO we made an executive decision and took him right to the car and home. Too bad since it would have been really fun, Ty just couldn't handle it and was making everyone's lives (even those around us) miserable. He went straight home for a nap.

Sunday it was finally windy enough to hit up the park with Ty's Spiderman kite.

He's been asking to fly it for months and we finally had a perfectly windy day.

He ran around with it and played for quite some time. Matt unwound the string all the way so it flew as high as it could go. A good little investment I would say. We can even fly it again it didn't break after one outing! 

We had a busy week last week, things have slowed down a little this week but we've finished 1 and 1/2 of our DIY projects and hopefully we'll finish the rest of our project this Saturday with a good find and some elbow grease. Fingers are crossed, I want to get it all done! Then we'll unveil, and blow your minds. Haha
