Yesterday we went to Afton to pick up a GPS that I could use on my trip across country next week. While we were there Max found several toy guns that he wanted. Once I convinced him that we had no room in the car for the kind of gun "that the army guys use to protect dad" we settled on the $1.49 pistol. He is on high alert on guns these days since the other day a skunk got in to one of my dads traps here in our yard and Grandpa had to shoot and kill it.... another whole stinky story! When we got home, Grandpa thought long and hard on how he could design and make a holster for Maxs' new gun. After some thought, Grandpa cut out the pocket of some old jeans, had Grandma sew it together, add an extra belt loop, add a little cardboard to help make the gun slide in easy and wa-laaa ... you have a fantastic gun holster for a 4 1/2 year old! See detailed pictures below. My thought was, somehow, I have got to configure this all in to this years Halloween costume!
Production at the kitchen table.
Adding the right size of cardboard for a perfect fit!
Grandpa adjusting the holster with belt.
Ta-da! Finished product!
Gun & Holster in use .... of course only at snakes, spiders, ants, flowers & trees!
Such a happy boy ...
Oh the joy ...
PS - I did convince Max to leave the gun & holster on the table for bedtime last night vs. sleeping with it all! These are the moments we'll miss once we are back in Virginia!
