Tot School Oct. 7-13 (29 1/2 mths.)

This week was just as busy as the last! Lil’ Red had lots of seasonal experiences and just plain old fun for tot school. We did not have a lot of “traditional” tot school or tot trays, but we were barely home this week. We started the week with nature and ended the week with nature!

Nature program- petted a Grass Spider and Collected Hickory Nuts

Homeschool Gym Day- got to learn some gun safety and take a hike. Big brother and big sister got to play kickball.

Pumpkin Patch– he got to ride in a hay wagon and pick HIS VERY OWN PUMPKIN! His first time at a pumpkin patch:)

Grandparents stopped by, so he got to see both sets in one day!

Tot School table time-He got a little wild with his markers! He took his dry erase marker to the wall next to his table area. I cleaned it up and he did it again. I took the markers away for that day. Next he wanted to work on his notebook, but ended up drawing on the wall and shelf again!

Cut Broccoli for soup– we put him in his seat to help make some yummy cheesy broccoli and carrot soup!

New Hair-do-He got a haircut by grandma and looks like a little boy- no longer a baby!

Scarecrows at local festival-Lil’ Red helped put up scarecrows made from recycled materials for a local festival. He waited patiently while mom and dad were busy securing the scarecrows (for a little while anyways)!

Outdoor time Tricycle Riding-He learned to peddle his tricycle! This was a big accomplishment. I thought he wouldn’t be tall enough until Spring. I guess we will need to clean the house up even more so he can ride around the kitchen and livingroom this Winter!

Nature Time-We went on a Nocturnal Wetland program looking to catch frogs and insects. We did not catch any, but got to see some!

Each day he amazes me at what things he knows and has picked up. His vocabulary is increasing especially if he can repeat a “bad” word or phrase that he hears others use. He thinks it is hysterical if he repeats something that drives the rest of the family nuts! That’s just a typical 2 1/2 yr. old.

My Kids are AWESOME!

July 2, 2012

Okay, I know everyone would say that about their own kids, BUT today my kids demonstrated just how awesome they are. I left them outside while Lil’ Red was splashing in the crab and sliding down the make shift water slide that Princess Dynamo made. I left Eldest in charge of keeping everyone safe.

 I ran inside to print out the Blog planner I had just read about on Money Saving Mom. I couldn’t do it on my Nextbook so off to the desktop. I was just getting ready to print off a section when Eldest came in saying that Lil’Red wanted to come in. I said I would be out as soon as I put extra paper in the printer and set up the pages I wanted to start with. (I just couldn’t bring myself to print all 63 pages. I’m a strict budgetor and we need to conserve ink for homeschool.) I added paper to printer and then heard Princess Dynamo and Lil’ Red inside!

All was good. Lil’ Red was stripped down and Princess was getting him ready to be diapered and dressed on the crib.  Eldest  was providing the needed backup- he went and got his sis a fresh change of clothes since she was busy with the baby!

WOW, now that is awesome. I started to help fasten the diaper and was gently scooted out of the  way by Princess. I was given the opportunity to run water clothes outside to dry in this 95 degree heat wave, lol.

I am still listening to my printer print the blog planner as I finish this.  Well, until I typed the last sentence that is. Now the printer is finished. Kids all dry and it’s time to think about dinner and future blog posts.
