Building a Model Car

We finally finished up all of Conall's Valentine's for school last night. His teacher not only wanted the kids to sign their own names to the Valentines, but to also write the names of their classmates. That is quite a task for pre-K!

The Valentine's were due at school today for tomorrow's party, so we had to work on them straight through last night to get them done. If Conall finished them before bedtime, he and daddy got to put together the model car kit that I got him from freecycle (along with 5-6 Lego's kits). He'd been wanting to put it together since I picked it up yesterday.

He finished them even before dinnertime, so he and daddy started on the car. I had to keep Caitlin corralled since they were working on it in the living room. She, and all of the cats, thought they needed to be in the middle of everything.

A few hours later, the car was done. Conall loved the one-on-one time with daddy and, of course, building something. He is so proud of his car.

So cool--you can see how proud he is! I'm glad he and Daddy got that time together and that Conall wanted to get the Valentine's done so he could make the car. Looks like you scored on freecycle again!!
