Working up an appetite

This morning we took the kids to Lowe's for another Build and Grow Event (see post from last year from the first time we attended one) so we could work on our:
1. coordination (Riley meets hammer for the first time - she NAILED it, hee hee - get it? hee hee.  okay moving on now)
2. self-control (Roy as he resisted every urge I could tell he was fighting to curse and/or smash the little fire truck to bits while trying to remove the teeny tiny nails that he and Leighton had so fantastically hammered in ... just a wee bit too soon - see point 3. below)
3. patience (Leighton as he waited for Daddy to extract nails from the piece he mistakenly put down without reading the instructions putting another on top first)
4. construction skills (me ... okay, well ALL of us, but everyone else got something just for themselves and I wanted something just for me, too!)

The kids were thrilled to leave with their fire trucks and new aprons, goggles, and badges.  Yes badgeS.  Plural.  Not only did we complete the fire trucks, but we also got the El Chupacabra (from the Disney Planes movie) that they had leftovers of from a previous build event to bring home to (calmly, patiently, and without any bent little nails) put together later in the afternoon.  So, we got TWO badges.  And you can bet I ironed them onto the aprons as soon as we walked in the door!

But, before we came home to iron on the badges build the planes, we went to Five Guys for lunch.  We were all pretty hungry.  We had, after all, just been constructing fire trucks!  That is hard work.  But nobody had more of an appetite than Leighton.  Now, the kid loves Five Guys burgers.  Like really, really, really loves them.  But today he polished it off and asked for another.  Yes.  We had to buy him a second burger to fill him up!  He's five ... NOT fifteen!!
