Moving and Zooming

Brennan and mommy got to go to the annual "moving and zooming" night put on by Early Childhood Education. Brennan got to sit in a tractor, old cars, skid steers, fire truck, police car (mommy was releaved that he picked the drivers seat and not the back seat), huge lawn mower, race cars, and many more - oh and of course trikes!!!

READING at 5????

What happened to learning to read in first grade?? Kobe's been really needing things to keep him busy, so I bought some phonics books (curious george, since we've been into getting those books from the library lately). He read the first 12 page book in 3-4 days!! I couldn't believe how fast he picked it up, sounding out the words like nothing - we're now half way through book 2. Wow!! He is either just brilliant, or really ready to read, maybe a little of both! :)

Home Depot

The Young boys have a monthly tradition of going to home depot - the first saturday of every month, there is a project they can make - they've made bird houses, butterfly houses, race tracks, rain gauges, etc. I think daddy loves it just as much as the boys. It's a great experience for all of them, definitely good for the fine motor skills - brennan can already hammer in his own nails!! Look at my boys growing up.

Indoor camping

The boys have been talking for awhile about having an indoor camping night. Last night was the night - they've never been so excited to go to bed. Kobe got all the sleeping bags and pillows set up, built a fire all by himself. After some marshmallow roasting, fruit kabobs (fruit snacks on toothpicks), and some story reading, we all snuggled in Kobe's room, and after a little giggling we all went to sleep (for part of the night anyway).

Wacky Hair Day

Wednesday was Wacky Hair Day at Preschool . . . enough said.

Sandwiches

Tonight . . .

75,000 sandwiches for the homeless . . .

Kobe lasting and hour and a half at making sandwiches, totally being a grownup, and doing multiple jobs. Amazing.

garage saling?

I have to be honest, I've never been a garage saler, but the neighbor hood accross the park from us has a neighborhood one, and since we didn't have jett this week, we checked them out - the boys loved going - they drove their john deere gator on friday night, and we hit about 20 more on thursday morning - I was surprised they did so well, it was fun hunting for puzzles, and baby clothes for their new cousin Tori (pink fun). Oh, and I learned baby toys are apparently fun for any age.
