So, the kids have been on a building rampage lately. They have built a couple club houses, and just last week they built a car. They have been waiting for the Paint Booth to be done (yes it is done and I will post pics very soon), so they could use the left over wood. Shelby Bennett and their Uncle Garrett ( he is 11 but he is their uncle), built this awesome car. It has seating for 2 and a trunk in the back for all their stuff. They also put a couple of license plates on it so it would be "legal" HAHAHA! Then after they had it built they decided that it neede some color, so they took it up into the other garage and used all the left over house paint that Grandma and Grandpa had to give it their style. The first thing they did was paint the purple on the wheels. They let that dry and then used Wal-Mart sacks as wheel covers so none of the other paint got on the wheels. (It makes their car painting Mother very proud). Now, probably the funniest part of the whole thing is that when they were almost done Jason and I went to look at it and Bennett informed us that they were doing "Pimp my Ride Kid's Style" His exact words. You can not make this up. Hilarious!!!

They also decided that it neede to be a custom job so they drew out some flames on a piece of paper and copied them off in the copier. Then they cut out the flames as to make a stencil and used it to paint flames all over the car. They are so smart!!!

I do not know how long this car will hold up but they are having a blast with it. Every couple days it needs a little TLC when we add a few nails and maybe a board to help keep it together but for a couple of kids I thought it was amazing.
P.S. Shelby and Garrett are eyeing an old Lawn Mower engin that we have. They think it should have a motor. (It wouldn't make it 5 feet with a motor, so they will just have to pretend that it has one)
P.S.S. Coming Soon: Paint Booth!!! YEAH!!!!
