Home Depot--On Steriods

I was seriously not prepared for this mornings Home Depot Kids Workshop--and I was definitely not prepared to do it alone!

Back in the olden days (when I took one child) we made a craft/build, I snapped a picture, she got a certificate and a pin and we went on our merry way.

Well, for the past few months when we arrive the kids get bombarded with stuff. It started out as chips and drinks (sugar water!!) to go along with the build (so now Thomas is only interested in the snack), and then they added in extras like a bag of school supplies in September, face painting, corn hole games with prizes. So, I know to expect an arm load of stuff.

Well, today was Fire Safety day, and I was not prepared for..

the helicopter in the parking lot..

...the firetruck in front of the store...

...policemen/women doing fingerprinting inside the store....

...the police car....

...the free fire hats.....

...the ice cream truck!!....

...and the free ice cream from said truck!!

Thomas was on sugar and vehicle over load!! We barely made it out alive! But, somewhere in the chaos at least one of my children actually built something--good thing since that was the whole reason we were there!
