Making of the Kendall Train
Today’s Lowe’s Build and Grow project was a grabber toy from the movie The Croods. Kendall watched from her stroller–I bet she wishes she could make her own projects! Brian gave her a wild ride in the store (when he wasn’t trying out the lawn mowers), and Brandon picked up supplies to make a shelf for Kendall’s name train to put in her room.

Finally, at Brian’s bedtime, we continued working on his phonics...
