Science Center

We recently took a family trip to the See Science Center. The kids had a really great time!

We saw two dragon flies getting down on the steps! Cait was freaking out asking what kind of bug it was. I told her it was two dragon flies hugging. She thought it was sweet.

There is a massive lego city with a train and water. Jayden has decided he is getting a huge house so he can make this.

Playdates

This week we met up with some friends at the indoor playground.

Cait got some paintings on by a new person working there. At first Cait was pissed that her beloved teacher Becky wasn't at her usual post. But Alex was very kind and quickly made a friend in Cait with her flour station, drawings, and really fun disposition!

 

Jayden and Olivia were really adorable! Olivia was pregnant with a baby triceratops and Jayden attended her baby shower.

 They also spent some time doing arts and crafts.

Driving Cait around...

and making her crash into walls!

 

I could have sworn Jayden was in this shot when I snapped it, but here is Vinny who was chasing him!

Jayden trying to put a hat on Rocky!

 

We wanted to go peach picking at a local farm but when we got there we were told that there wasn't a good crop this season so there was no "pick-your-own" anything!

We did get to see the animals there.

 The kids got to feed the goats!

Things We've Learned This Week

The kids' latest adventure with daddy now includes several rousing games of Mouse Match before he goes to work. Caitlin is pretty awesome at this game and has actually won several times!

 We learned a new recipe and turned this:

 into this:

Chocolate zucchini bread

 Jayden learned to tie his own laces!!

 One of my favorite drawings Jayden has ever made:

Jayden the astronaut on the moon. See the American flag he's putting on the moon?

 Cait working hard!

Jayden working hard! (We still really love T4L!)

We LOVE these Unifix Cubes. Jayden was having a difficult time understanding a certain concept about patterns on T4L. We whipped these babies out and he quickly grasped the concept!

I taught Cait the concept of patterns with the cubes and had her practice making some of her own with colors I called out to her.

 She even used them as counters for her first ever fill in the blank math worksheet!

 I love how she wrote her name here. The C and N are backwards!
