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.
