Roadmaster Trike

On Sunday after a very filling Father's Day dinner, we took a walk around the block and on the curb in front of our neighbors house we saw this little red tricycle, JD's eyes immediately lit up and he yelled "bicycle"! The trike was in pretty good shape (it's missing one pedal and a hubcap), so I wasn't sure if they were throwing it out, or if it was left behind by a forgetful child. I knocked on the neighbors door to ask if they were getting rid of it and luckily for us they were! We lugged the little trike home and JD loves it,  I'm hoping we can fix it this weekend and start showing JD how to ride it!

Father's Day

JD is such a lucky little guy; he not only has an amazing daddy but two amazing grandpas! I really love the fact that JD is growing up with such wonderful men in his life, they each share such a special bond with him, it really is incredible! I thank God everyday, especially on Father's Day for bringing these wonderful, loving and amazing men into my life!

DIY LEGO Table

A couple of weeks ago when I took JD to his first dentist appointment we ran into a small little problem, JD didn't want to leave the office waiting room! He was absolutely enthralled with their LEGO table and threw a fit when it was time to go home. Well that afternoon I decided to Google LEGO tables and was so disappointed to see they were any where from $80-$300! A few days later (after JD kept mentioning "LEGO, Dentista") I Googgled how to make a LEGO table and you'll never guess what popped up, IKEA Hackers LACK LEGO Table and I was immediately inspired to make JD his very own LEGO table. Here is how I did it.

Materials:

• IKEA LACK Side Table $9.99 (my mom actually had one laying around the house)
• LEGO Duplo Green Building Plate (15" X 15") $16.99

Things we had around the house:

• Earthquake Putty
• Two Wall Hooks
• Liquid Nails Adhesive
• Two Tin Buckets

I attached the LEGO base plate to the table with Earthquake Putty

then attached 2 hooks to the bottom of the table with liquid nails adhesive

and once the liquid nails adhesive dried (1 hour to dry, 8 hours to cure) I placed one bucket on each hook and filled them with Duplo LEGOS

He loves it!
