BOY Did He Miss Out

Connor and Chloe like to go to Home Depot once a month for the Kids Building Workshop they put on so they can build whatever project-of-the-month they've got for the kids to make.  Like clockwork, the first Saturday of every month Chloe dons her little orange apron, forces Connor into wearing his, and then she reminds me it's hammer time.

But this month Connor opted not to go since all the projects lately have been decidedly way too girly.  Last month, because of Valentine's Day, he had to make--horror of horrors--a heart-shaped shelf.  So this time he decided not surrender his man card anymore by refusing to let his little sister talk him into going.

So Chloe and I headed to the Home Depot, minus Connor.  We decided to go and pick up her cousins since there was more room in the car without a stinky brother brave enough to come and swing a hammer with us.  We arrived to discover that this month's project was the mother of testosterone driven projects:

NASCARS!

BOY did Connor miss out!

Connor was bummed when we got home.  He said next time he won't miss the workshop since things are looking up.  What I didn't tell him was that I already asked what next month's project would be...

... it's Easter Baskets!!!!

Shhhhhh! Don't tell him though.  I'm waiting to see the look on his face when he shows up and realizes he has to glue and nail together another stupid girl project.  [fade to evil laughing.]
