For Kyle's calling as the Cub Scouts Den Leader in our ward, he had to create a rocket launcher for the Blue and Gold Banquet. We stopped at Home Depot on a Friday night after our dinner date and got all the supplies so he and the kids could play.
Noah took a nap while Gabbie got to stay up and help Daddy build it.
Then of course we had to do a few trial runs to make sure it would work the way it needed to. Gabbie ended up with her entire pants legs soaking wet.
Noah doesn't like to do anything right after he has woken up. And if you wake him up instead of letting him get up on his own, oh boy is he in a fowl mood. So he didn't really care what Daddy was doing when he first came outside.
Woah this is actually pretty cool.
They got a little over-exuberant about it and shot the rocket over the brick wall in the back so Kyle had to climb over it and retrieve the rocket a few times.
We were lucky enough to have one of Kyle's Fridays off where he didn't have a ton of homework to do or a lot of other things to take care of. We decided to make 'buitars' with the kids because Noah is in love with them. Kyle eyeballed the guitar base and then we kind of just created the rest of it as we went.
My husband is so creative and talented. The kids and I treasure these kind of days because with his 10 hour work days and one hour commute both ways he doesn't have a lot of energy when he gets home. Then on top of that he has to fit in homework somewhere. It's a trial for our family but I'm hoping that I can take these next few years of his schooling and learn from it what I am supposed to and become a better mom and wife.
