Super Steps

Thursday we working in the kitchen and the kids were fighting over the step stool! So I thought it was the perfect time to work on the step stool project we started back in August. Home Depot has free classes the first Saturday of every month where you can come and make different wood projects! They had a booth at Peach Days and so we made a step stool! But we never finished painting it! I picked up an extra one for Cooper at the fair so we started out by making his stool!

We got out our AWESOME aprons they gave us at the fair and got to work! Both the boys were REALLY excited to use Daddy's BIG hammer! Spencer was really good at hitting the nail on the head! Cooper was struggling with how heavy the hammer was, but he sure gave it his best effort!

Spencer decided he wanted his stool to be a SUPERMAN stool (no surprise there) and Coopers stool was going to have a sports theme! So we picked our colors and started painting! After we finished painting it was nap time! We let the paint dry and then I promised after nap time we would pick out our pictures to put on the stools!

Spencer picked out a very tough looking super man for the top, and I found a few different sports balls for the top of Coopers! I TRIED to paint the words on to make them cute and then we slapped a little Modge Podge on top! I hope these little benches lead to a more peaceful time in the kitchen!! Time will tell...
