Ever since Carter got his Handy Manny tools from my dad, he's been really into Pat, the hammer. It's the only one he can say the name of. Carter was very excited that the Handy Manny toy he got from Mary Grace also included a small Pat. So he's always saying "two pat" and finding both of the hammers amongst his toys.
The one tool that the kids use at the Build and Grow workshop is a hammer. So when I told him we were going to Lowe's to go build something, he grabbed big Pat to take with him.
You can see the blue plastic hammer in Carter's right hand in this picture I took as we were walking through Lowe's ...
Carter insisted on using Pat to try to hammer the nails in instead of the real hammer.
Carter ended up switching hammers with me and insisted that I used Pat to hammer in the nails as well.
We eventually got the project finished and here's what we made ...
It's a snowman gift card holder. In two weeks the kids start making a train! It has three cars and the kids get to make one car each Saturday. We're hoping to make it to all of those workshops.
Rylan was with us today. He did good - no crying. Just a very serious expression on his face as he tried to figure out what all the noise was around him (dozens of little hammers make A LOT of noise).

did your Lowe's switch to every other Saturday? Ours did...but we haven't quite figured it out yet. I REALLY want to do the trains, I guess I should call and find out??
BTW, glad Carter likes his present!
