May 19 – Local Farm Visit
This is my last catch up day before I start posting my project 365 pictures a week at a time. Last weekend, I took the little boys to a local farm for their open house. Our first stop was to check out the chickens. Magoo was a little unsure at first, but Bebop was excited [...]
May 18 – Our Library
I’ve taken my camera with us to the library every time we have gone for the last month. Today I actually took a picture! Part of the library is in an old historical home that was donated to the city to be used as a library. An addition that holds most of the books was [...]
May 12 – The Park
I feel a little guilty that we have not done a whole lot of school the past few weeks, but morning sickness and exhaustion have overshadowed my ability to prepare activities. The little park at our apartment complex has pea gravel and the boys both enjoy digging. It’s a great sensory and motor skills activity, [...]
May 8 – Indoor Play Yard
We went to an indoor play yard with some friends. It was $6 per kid to play, which isn’t too expensive for a special day but not something we’ll do all the time. Both boys loved it. Magoo is a fearless monkey, climbing up everything. He followed Bebop around and climbed ladders, rock walls, and [...]
May 6 – Garage Sale Part 2
We had a very successful garage sale weekend. Bebop keeps asking to go back to more garage sales because he wants more toys. Here’s most of the toys we bought: Not pictured is the clothes (maternity for me, pants for Bebop), and two more toys still in the trunk of the car. The boys have [...]
May 5 – Derby Party
We went to a friends house for a Kentucky Derby party. The kids all had a chance to decorate hats and horses (made from pvc pipe and a paper bag). Bebop loved it and spent most of the night racing his horse. I tried my best to get the boys to eat something resembling a [...]
May 4 – Garage Sale Part 1
This weekend there are several large neighborhood wide garage sales and at least one at a local church. I’ve seen signs for different garage sales every time I’ve left the house in the past two days. The boys and I went on round 1 this morning and found some great deals on toys. Magoo’s favorite: [...]
May 2 – Car Seat Independence Day
About a year ago, I heard a conversation on the radio about holidays that only parents celebrate (and appreciate). This week we achieved car seat independence day for Bebop. He is now able to open the car door and buckle himself into his seat with out any help. It is so much easier to get [...]
April 30 – A Few Minutes of Sunshine
We had a few minutes of sunshine on Monday morning, so we spent half the morning at the purple park. Although Bebop likes to call it the dinosaur park. Between the park and a trip to the grocery store, we spent the entire morning out of the apartment. The boys both took long naps and [...]
