"Preschool time"

We have tons and tons of fun workbooks for Jack to occupy himself with while Theo naps. Theo wanted to get in on the fun one afternoon so I let him color. He'd color, flip the page and color some more! Jack followed the maze in his workbook to find the Batmobile.

Day at Graysen's house

Jack's buddy from Cedarwood invited him over for some backyard fun last week. Jack and Graysen are best little friends and we really hope that they can be in the same class again next year. Graysen's mom sent me these pictures of their morning together. Looks like they had a great time!

Weekend project

The changes to the playroom are almost complete. I ordered this small computer armoire about a month ago and it just came in (love site to store shipping on Walmart.com) so Dave and I assembled it this weekend. Jack spent the weekend over at Gigi and Dada's house so we were able to manage this while Theo napped yesterday. Dave set the old computer all up and created a Transformers background for Jack. He put icons for Starfall, Nick Jr., Noggin and Playhouse Disney (education game sites) for Jack to click on that take him right to the sites. This will be perfect for a year or two from now when he may have homework or want to do things online for school. Yes, we're just a year away from Kindergarten! Notice the blue walls and Theo's curl (just b/c it's hot out).

Jack and the big slide

Our gym has a really fun slide that Jack fell in love with last summer. He's old enough and tall enough now to ride it all by himself. I went with him one time and showed him how to carry his mat, climb the stairs up to the slide while holding the mat and the rail, and to make sure he asked the lifeguard for help setting up his mat. He did beautifully and I've never ridden with him since! He's even gone down the super-fast enclosed slide that literally catapults him into the pool. He loves it and has proven to be quite the daredevil!!! Go Jack!

Having fun with Juliet

I watched Theo's woman, Juliet, on Friday and took all of the kids to Toddlearn. The three of them were sardines in my backseat, which is clearly designed only for 2 car seats! I squeezed a booster seat in the middle of the two car seats and that's where Jack rode. Jack spent most of his time at Toddlearn trying on costumes. Theo ran around like crazy and hid in the ball pit.

Global Wildlife

Mimi and Papa are in town for Memorial Day weekend and we took them to Global Wildlife today to see the exotic animals there. Jack loved feeding the longhorns and the giraffes. Theo spent most of our tour throwing out the pellets to the deer. Everyone had a great time and we managed to keep the boys entertained for 95% of the 1 1/2 hour tour. Both boys took excellent naps and that is always a great indicator of how much fun they had!

Water fun

We got Theo's ear plugs and now he can enjoy all the water fun he's been missing out on lately. I also got a long-sleeve rash guard since Theo is our blondie/fair skinned child. Don't want that baby getting sunburned! Theo had a blast splashing around and getting soaked. Next step... the baby pool!
