Since I failed to summarize last week's family/educational adventures -- you get a double dose today.
Daddy celebrated his birthday with brownies and peach cobbler. I could not find any rhubarb for his favorite pie.
Baby S says "chee" now for "cheese" it is so cute
Big sister A is getting pretty skilled at embroidery and did this little "Dad" number mostly on her own. I put it in the hoop and threaded the needle.
Picnicking at the nature center playground. I got this cute pouting face from baby S.
Baby S is also saying "guck" now for duck and was very excited to go visit the wooden models at the nature center. He likes our chickens too, but these stayed nice and still.
They had a class about humming birds and made a neat little humming bird feeder with a recycled plastic soda bottle. It was not our usual teacher and brother M had a little trouble staying on topic.
We dumped all the old sand and got 2 new bags of good clean kid sand from Toys R Us. Now I can get some things done in the garden and they are entertained.
At a different local nature center we visited a model Eastern Native American hut and hollowed out canoe.
The kids favorite part were all the live animals that they had. We were there taking a class about owls, but they also had an eagle, a turkey vulture, snakes, toads and a a box turtle.
Building projects were a daily affair this week -- mostly forts, all in the living room of course.
I went in to pick up baby S from his crib today and he was laying on his belly reading this book. As soon as he saw me with the camera he started to stand up. It was so cute.
We ordered some new books this week from our Scholastic Reading Club. Mostly beginning readers for big sister A to enjoy and also a couple workbooks to make sure that we are ready for 1st grade materials in September.
