Second Grade Project & Bieber Fever

In the second grade, Walker's big project

was to create something out of

three dimentional shapes.

He immediately came home saying he

wanted to create his very own R2D2

and he was VERY specific how he wanted it!

Thank Goodness he has

 an engineer for a daddy ;)))

They found just the perfect rectangular box

for the body and they made trips to

 Lowe's and Home Depot to buy

wheels and pieces of wood.  They used

one of MY mixing bowls for the head.

They painted a carmex can for the eye

and used colored card board from

Hobby Lobby for the body

and buttons on R2D2 and

a silver paint pen to draw the lines.

I don't know who enjoyed the project more...

Daddy or Walker!

They drilled and painted out in the garage

and devoted a lot of time to making

their R2D2 perfect!

Wonder if Hudson can turn in the same

project in a few years?!?!?!? ;)))

R2D2 became quite the little

 member to our family!

I was SO proud of my boys!!!

If I had been the one helping Walker,

this project would have looked

WAAAAAAAAAAY

different! ;)

I loved how from day one Walker

was so excited and "in" to this project.

Do I have another Engineer in my life?

Troy and Walker are first and foremost

father and son...but I also

see their friendship and I love that!

They share so many of the same interests...

sports, math, science and more.

I love their relationship...

especially the fact that Walker will

still let his Daddy kiss him on the lips!;)

 I also love MY relationship with

Walker D!  He loves his mama!!!!!

I sent him to school the first day of the

book fair with $10.  I couldn't believe

my eyes when I pulled up in the car pool

line that afternoon and saw him holding

up a Justin Bieber poster and book

that he bought for ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is that not the sweetest thing?!?
I love my boy so much!

This was one day when the kids and I came

to eat lunch with Walker and go back to

the book fair (so he could get some things

for himself!).  His teachers invited

us to the classroom to see all

of the awesome projects.

R2D2 was my favorite!;)
