Eoin may not realize it, but this is was his 3rd Home Show! Grandma Lisa is the Executive Officer for the Home Builders Association in our area and is the driving force behind the Home Show exhibition every year. With a new location this year and our little side business, Wooden Whimsy, being featured as a booth, we were uncertain as to when Eoin would make it out this year, but the little guy made it out every single day. He LOVED IT!
The first night was Friday and Jordan manned the Wooden Whimsy booth with Jeff and Eoin and I walked the floor and ate dinner with Grandma Lisa. Eoin had his face painted for the first time and he was so good and to say he loved it would be a major understatement. In order to get him to wash it off that night, we had to promise that he could get it done again the next day!
Saturday was a busy day for Jordan and I; Jordan manned the Wooden Whimsy booth while I had a Grand Re-Opening celebration at one of the stores. Eoin got to spend the entire day with Papa Dean. And quite a day he had! They went to the zoo, McDonald's and Toys R Us. When I arrived to pick him up he was fast asleep. He rarely naps on the weekends anymore! We were scheduled for Eoin to go to Parents Night Out at Little Jewels so I could head over to the Home Show and man the booth for a little while, but when we pulled into the parking lot, he said that he didn't want to go to Little Jewels and that he wanted to go to the Home Show at the Coliseum! I couldn't say know and expected that Grandma Lisa would like to see him again, so we trucked back downtown. Besides, he had such a great day with Papa Dean, but still hadn't had his face painted again!
Sunday was my day at the booth and Auntie Erin took Eoin for some fun! They watch ed Toy Story 3 and had McDonald's, his favorite and yes, again! He asked Erin in the car, 'You take me to McDonald's?' and sadly this is a little man that is rarely told 'no.' Auntie Erin came back to drop him off a little before the show ended and so that she could take a look at the exhibitors; this also gave Eoin the chance to get his face painted yet again! The girls in the CEFCU booth that had the face painter loved him and were excited to see him every day! He chose the tiger face every day and loved looking at himself.
Since he has asked about the Home Show every day since, I think this is a fun event that he will definitely look forward to each year! Kudos to the exhibitors for making it very kid friendly and of course, anywhere his Grandma is and there are 'tractors' is a favorite place of Eoin's!
