Aug 13th, 2011 - One of my favorite things to do on the weekends it to got the Lowes Build and Grow events. Lowes has these events every 2-3 weeks and they make some nice wooden things. Its the "Back to School" time of the year and so this weekend, we did a "Back to School" photp holder. The photo holder is on the shape of a school and it can hold 4 of my pictures. The photo holder looks easy to do but was a bit difficult and it took us a long time to finish. At the end building it, I got to put the stickers on it. After the project was over the Lowes Helper, Yogi, gave me my certificate and my patch. School starts in a week. |

Aug 13th, 2011 - Raksha Bandhan, is a festival primarily observed in India, which celebrates the relationship between brothers and sisters. The central ceremony involves the tying of a rakhi (sacred thread) by a sister on her brother's wrist. This symbolizes the sister's love and prayers for her brother's well-being, and the brother's lifelong vow to protect her. |

Aug 6th, 2011 - For the last year,my parents have been signing me up for the Build and Grow sessions at Lowes. Lowes has these session once every 2 or three weeks but Home Depot has them only on the 1st Saturday of every month. Today as the first time we were able to go. Unlike Lowes, you don't have to register with Home Depot. You just have to show up. The Home Depot sessions are from 9 AM - noon and we showed up at around 9:30. It was quite packed and very busy. We stood in line to register and get our kit which was a pencil box today (everyone is having a Back to School theme). The box could be built with only a couple of steps but it was rather difficult to push the nails in. I did need my dad's help on this. The Lowes kits are much easier for kids my age. After we built the box, came the fun part of coloring the box. We chose the Home Depot color, Orange for the main color and then used green for the lid. One of the nice Home Depot helpers gave me a plate with the colors and a nice brush. This was the first time I was able to paint something and it was a lot of fun. My hands and face were all messy but I guess thats the fun of it. After we completed the painting, I collected my certificate and my pin which I attached to my apron. The next one at Home Depot will be in September. |
