Big Man is an Awana Cubbie at church this year and tonight was silly shoe night. Being the boy that he is, he wanted to decorate his shoes with toilet paper and garbage, but since I am mean I told him no and got out the craft supplies and told him to pick! After we were done he thought these were the coolest shoes ever.
Everyone at Awanas tonight thought they were pretty cool too.
Yesterday we took the kids to the space center for their monthly preschool class. Since Little Man is almost 3 I decided to sign him up for the preschool classes we do this month. He really did well and he was so excited to be able to go!
First thing we did was a simulated space flight. Then they went back to the classroom and learned about Mercury. Big Man just had to go and prove how smart he was! When the teacher asked what planet we live on he said Arizona. Then later she asked what was the difference between two sets of planets she was holding up and he raised his hand and said It was raining when we left our house! All righty then, I don't really get it:) It continued today when in the middle of reading a book during storytime at the library he raised his hand to tell the teacher he got new shoes. He use to know how to pay attention and answer correctly but I guess we are digressing at the moment!
Of course there was singing and dancing about all of the planets!
Then arts and crafts time where they made a sun with a solar flare and a diagram of the solar system.
Although it was still a little hot, it was beautiful. When you are driving in it is hard to imagine that there really is an orchard in the middle of the desert.
The apple crop was not the best this year so Daddy and Far Away Grandpa had to work hard to get the good apples and pears.
The kids thought it was pretty cool that there were cows roaming through the orchard, they are hard to see but they are behind the trees.
The apples and pears and the hard workers! It was pretty funny because after we had a decent amount of fruit I looked through the box and realized that my neice had been taking one bite out of all of the fruit she had been putting into the box! I guess she wanted to make sure that it tasted o.k.!
Of course we had to come home and get out our peeler/slicer/corer thing. All of the fruit tastes great and tomorrow we are making apple cobbler. If I can find the energy we will probably make applesause this week too.
It is so much fun buying pink! I just knew this was the set for the baby when I saw it.
Now I just need to match the paint and get some new curtains! I did find these really neat mesh box/drawer things at target today. They come in every color and they are only $5! I love them, I bought 4 but I am going to go back and buy a couple more because they match so nicely and I always need more storage. Especially since her closet is still packed with the boys toys!
Today was my 21 week appointment. The Dr. did the diagnostic ultrasound and she (100% now!) looks great. The baby weighs about 1.1 lbs and is measuring about 4 days ahead which is perfect. After the diagnostic ultrasound he did a 4D image and doesn't she look beautiful:) It is amazing how much like a baby they really look so early. (That is her foot by her head.)
