Is it really almost February?

We've had a lot of fun this week.
Do you think this gum will make me glamorous?

Here are some more of our preschool activities we've been doing. He really liked the lacing card!


He was pretty excited about the hammer too, but it faded a lot faster than I thought it would.

Water beads on the other hand are standing the test of time. He's asked for them multiple times over the past few days.

This weekend all of the cherry blossom festivals were going on but they're like an hour away and the crowds are bananas and we wanted to avoid that so we went to Kakazu Ridge instead. It's a battlesite and that's very depressing and makes me feel like a douche. It was beautiful though.


The sakura aren't in full bloom just yet. We want to go back next week to see a sea of pink!

The views were incredible. It was perfect weather and we could see almost to our house!



Here is one of the monuments at Kakazu.


If you click on these they should be big enough to read about the battle.



There were also two playgrounds there, complete with cement slides.

I went to take a picture of some hibiscus for my dad and found this spider. He's pretty cool isn't he?

Gotta stop for juice!





Right down the road there were two more parks so we went there too. 4 playgrounds by noon....Thomas was exhausted.

We weren't done though. It was just so nice out we couldn't go home so we went to the sunflower festival.

It was muddy and chock full of bees and random statues, but it was pretty and free!


I've still been crocheting almost everyday. It makes me happy. Here's my latest creation.

It's been awhile

I haven't posted here in forever. I miss blogging though so maybe I'll actually get back into it. Here's a little what we did today post.

We've spent more than six months going through the process of getting T evaluated for speech therapy and it's still dragging on so I figured I may as well just jump in and start preschool at home. We are still very seriously considering homeschooling so it's a fun way to sort of test it out. We're keeping it casual and fun, because he is only 3 after all!






This week we're learning about caterpillars and working on the number 3. He loves this little magnet game above.



We also made a Very Hungry Caterpillar. I didn't take a picture of the finished product but it's pretty cute!

This is his C is for Caterpillar coloring page. He doesn't really color anything though, he just makes lots of circles. Whatever floats his boat!

This is our little school area. We move the little marker from day to day on the calendar and we check out the weather as well. He loves the weather cards and always tells us when it's raining or windy or whatever. That shelf is where we keep our books of the week. He was very excited to see bug books on that shelf this week.


It's been really fun to see what sort of things he likes to do and what books he likes. He much prefers books with real pictures as opposed to cartoons and he has a deep love of anything that involves dry erase markers. He gets out the eraser and says "I clean?" It's adorable. I'm a little biased.
