Maker's Space

At the Children's Museum there is a Maker's Space for children 8 years old and older.  Now that Glen is old enough, Grace, Glen and I went to the maker's space.

 I sat in the corner and read my book while Glen and Grace made stop motion movies in their movie light boxes.  Glen made a great movie about a car crash.

 Then both Grace and Glen were trained on the sewing machine.  Grace made a zipper pouch while Glen made a pocket.  They were so proud of their accomplishments.

I can not wait to go there more often.  This is a great place for the kids to explore different skills.

Glen is 8

Glen, my sweet, contemplative, cuddly boy is now 8 years old!

He wanted a brownie for his cake.  So he got a brownie with chocolate cool whip on top.

Not much happened as far as a celebration.  We had a meal of your choice with a desert of your choice.  And of course you got the special red plate because it was your birthday.

 Glen is in 2nd grade.  He is in Cub scouts.  He is also taking his first year of piano lessons.  He loves Minecraft, Zelda, and many other games.

Carol and Amy's present for Glen was a golden ticket to go see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at Broadway High School.  They also got him the book and a chocolate bar.  We read the book before we went to the musical.  Then we enjoyed the musical.

 Glen had many of the characters sign his book after the play.  Glen was star struck with all of the actors.

 And they got a picture with Veruca Salt.

It was a really great time.
