and tonight we feasted on these!



Daddy's pancakes come in a special size:)

Good reads, good eats, good times:)

This Tree Counts

Happy Arbor Day!
In honor of today we read this...

and then made this.

Any art that captures their little hand prints is priceless as far as I'm concerned:)
Good reads, good times:)

The Boy on The Beach

I asked Caleb what he wanted to do today when I got home and he said "go beach." My kind of kid! So at lunch today we read this...


and once I got home we went here...


Good reads, good times:)

I Wanna Iguana

So being a teacher, no less than a thousand times a day I think "I have the perfect story for this.." I got to thinking, I should have a more literacty based approach to raising my own children. Not really a bad idea. So today during their lunch time visit we read this..

As a prep for taking them here.. Prehistoric Pets.



Knowing the little critters were behind glass kind of soothed us all;)

One of the workers was kind enough to take out this little tortoise for Caleb to pet. I was so into it I forgot to take a photo. Darn. Here is an after the fact shot.

We even found our iguana:)

Good reads, good times:)
