Game Day

Game Day was such fun!  Max was most interested in the actual football game.  He kept asking about the yellow penalty flags, touchdowns, field goals, and referees.  He was frustrated when the game stopped for a timeout.  We had a lot of fun playing football in the parking lot, too.  And during our little family … Continue reading →

Let’s Get Started…

It’s time to get the Halloween weekend started, right?  Yes!  This afternoon, our favorite babysitter, Tootsie Roll Chelsea, took Robot Cole and Super Max to her office on campus for trick-or-treating.   They picked up some sweet loot and cannot wait to eat every last piece of it, of course.  After a quick dinner, it … Continue reading →

Geodes

We waved goodbye to Kelsey and Caleb this morning.  They are such special friends to us, and our week together was awesome!   Yesterday afternoon we explored a stream close to Lake Monroe, and it was beautiful!  We collected geodes, watched minnows, crayfish, and water striders, and got really wet.  Perfect afternoon for rowdy boys … Continue reading →

Zeke’s Girl

Zeke has a girlfriend.  They share snacks at the park every now and then!   

A Test

The other day, Cole started asking questions about dissolving.  Maybe it stemmed from Max’s habit of mixing food and drink together at every meal…oh my.  Anyway, we created an experiment to learn more.  We tested sugar, salt, sand, ketchup, syrup, olive oil, and peanut butter to see if they dissolved in water or not.   … Continue reading →

Danger

Apparently, Zeke thinks our neighborhood walks are hazardous to his head.  

The Rule

My rule is this:  As long as the weather is bearable, choose the park over the library. This morning I was reminded of my rule after I broke it and took M and Z to the library.  We lasted…mmm…ten minutes before one or both boys began pulling books off the shelves, disassembling the computer mouse, … Continue reading →
