If you visit our house on Saturday mornings you may catch the Inksters in all our geeky glory. We might be watching Bre Pettis' latest Weekend Projects video podcast. We could be conducting secret science experiments. You might even catch a glimpse of Ben building a cool robot or circuit bending an old electronic toy.
We've dubbed our geek-fest Make: Saturday Mornings in honour of Make magazine.
Make: Saturday Mornings are usually quite spontaneous. We don't plan our projects in advance. (They are mostly determined by the materials we have on hand.) However, this Saturday was exceptional --- our theme for the day was All About Trebuchets!
(Hooray for medieval siege weaponry.)
We even made stylin' t-shirts for Daddy and his boys because, hey, everybody's trebuchet is special.
Next weekend we plan to construct our own trebuchets out of paper clips and launch massive mini marshmallow attacks. Stay tuned ...

In response to a question ... We bought blank iron-on transfer sheets from Michaels, designed our own logos and found a trebuchet drawing online, and printed the images onto the transfers with our computer printer. Easy!
