December 10 Lowes Build And Grow Lowes Train

December 6, 2011 By Big Binder Leave a Comment

Do your kids love Lowes Build and Grow clinics? Mine do! My husband is always to take them, being a man who always needs something or other from a home improvement store.

This Saturday, December 10 kids can make part two of the Lowes Train – the coal car.  Then next Saturday {December 10}, they’ll make the final part; the engine. Make sure you sign up and print off your registration; these clinics are very popular!

Full Swing. Without the Snow.

November 30, 2011 By Big Binder Leave a Comment

A snowstorm arrived in Michigan yesterday, but somehow magically flew right past Grand Rapids.  That never happens!

It seems like there should be snow, but maybe it’s good that there isn’t any.  There is a LOT to do.  So much, that I was getting a little nervous trying to figure out how I will fit it all in.  Snow would only slow me down.

Friday:

Saturday:

Sunday:

Oh, and did you notice that almost everything on this list is FREE?!
