You may remember recently when Bob took Alaina and Ruby into his wood shop and they made reindeer. I had posted some pictures of this on facebook, and a neighbor commented that she knew a few boys (her sons) who would love this.
Bob said he'd be happy to do something with them, so on their Christmas break they came over and spent the morning in the wood shop with him.
Here they are with their finished bird houses. They were excited to bring them home and had fun making them. And Bob had fun spending the morning with them!

I love this. What a sweet ministry! Your husband is so nice to do this with the boys. They did a good job and maybe this birthed in the boys a desire to pursue woodworking!
The best for children,
experiential learning!!
Good for you, very important for the husband too.
The houses also turned out very nicely,
I hope they will soon have birds!!
Thank you Mari!!

A forever memory..........
That is so great!! I have a feeling they will be frequent apprentices!! Awesome experience for all!!
I loved seeing this! I wish that kids had more opportunities to do these kind of things. This is something that these kids will never forget. A big shout out to Bob for doing this for these kiddos. Just look at the smile on these precious faces....LOVE IT!!
This is such a beautiful post, how nice of Bob! (The other day my six year old grandson Wulf asked my husband for a board, so he got him one. Then Wulf said, "Can you cut it for me? I want to make a box." So, next time he comes over, there will be a project. Good clean fun and positive attention, it's just so nice. :)
How nice of Bob to be able to spend the time with those boys! He created a memory they will have for the rest of their lives!
That was so wonderful of Bob - what a nice man. The boys loved it and learned at the same time.
I just love those proud and happy expressions on their faces. Terrific job on the bird houses and how very kind of Bob to give them lessons in building. Kids sure need that kind of projects nowadays. Schools don't seem to have classes in those skills. Its a pity.
Great photos too.

I love this so much! Bob gave those precious boys some very special memories. The two of you are not only great grandparents, but you are also great neighbors. xx
Wow! That's neat.
This is so wonderful. You know those boys will always remember this! The birdhouse is so cool!
That was so nice for Bob to take the time with the boys. Looks like they had fun and what a great looking bird house.
How lovely.
The boys will have happy memories of this, and their bird boxes look great.
Well done Bob.
All the best Jan
