Because I'm cute

Plastic bubbles

We had a very rainy monsoon ish day and needed to get out. I found plastic bubbles at the dollar store and they reminded me of my childhood. We huddled up on the porch in the rain and had a blast!

Mommy's make-up!!!

Ahhh my little one got into my make up! I tried to be stern but I couldn't stop laughing!!!

Memorial Day Camping 2012

We decided to embark again on our multi-family camping adventure for Memorial Day. It was certainly an adventure!!! Nothing went really wrong, but not much went really right! We got rained on (a little), we had animals eat our food while we were unpacking (and I blamed Noah!), we got VERY lost on a hike and got stuck in a swamp (with 4 small children), and we had one child grab a fishing hook to fish by hand (OUCH!). But overall, we chalked it up to another wonderful memory in our children's lives!!!

Grandparents Day

Noah was so lucky he had TWO grandmas at grandparents day!!!

Pond Day

In April, Noah's class took a mini field trip to the pond behind their school for an adventure called Pond Day. They have been learning about different habitats in nature and how ecosystems interact. The children made their t-shirts, donned their mud boots and trekked to the pond. There were several stations where they could guess what lives in the pond, on the pond, or around the pond. They had to organize the life cycle of frogs and play leap frog. They drew a landscape of their perspective of the pond and of course the most exciting station was digging in pond mud! One teacher would scoop out a net of mud and the kids could dig through it to find tadpoles, baby dragon flies and other creatures. They even found one frog. It was a really neat day for the kids to have some hands on learning. Of course Noah dove right in with no fear!!!

Phillies!!

For Noah's birthday we got him tickets to the Phillies. We didn't know it was also the Phillie Phanatic's Birthday!! So there were lots of fun shenanigans with all of the mascots from all of the teams. Noah only thought we were going to see the Phillie Phanatic but he got the hang of the game.We did all of the important things ... eat french fries, get ice cream in a phillies hat, almost catch a foul ball, sing Take Me Out to the Ball Game, and have a great time!!!!
