Aidan’s QOTD

As the boys were getting their shoes on to start the day, Aidan has this great revelation about females.

Aubrey

“When Aubrey is a boy, she can wear shoes; but she’s a girl, so she eats dog food.”

Well said, Aidan.  Well said.

Nature Detective

We’ve been spending as much time as we can outside despite the Houston heat.  This means our adventures are limited to mornings or early evening times, but that won’t last long once the mosquitoes come out in full force.

Anyhow, Aidan has been requesting a backpack for some time now.  I thought it would be perfect [...]

Museum of Printing History

Today we took a little field trip.

The main exhibit I wanted to see was the world’s largest book.  The following is copied from the museum’s website, bolding emphasis is mine.

“In conjunction with FotoFest 2010, the Museum of Printing History is pleased to present Bhutan: A Visual Odyssey Across the Last Himalayan Kingdom, to [...]

Sprinkler fun

Never underestimate the adventures that can be had in your own (boring to adult eyes) back yard.  Seriously.  Our backyard is pretty boring to me.  I need to work on that.  Until then, we have sprinklers!

I’m adding two dry pics of the boys, because I can’t believe how quickly they are growing up.  It isn’t [...]

Giraffes!

(Sadly, I don’t have a photo to share.)

Today, I took the boys with me to Texas Art Supply after their art class.  As we walked in, Aidan noticed that there was a second floor and immediately asked to go upstairs.  Ollie was on my back, and I had just situated Aidan in a shopping cart [...]

Mother’s day

Oh, what wise sages my children are.  Constantly teaching me to alter my expectations and to not take anything too seriously.  Here’s the best we could do for a photo of my boys and me.

And, if you insist, a photo with Ollie also looking at the camera..

Extra points for the painting [...]

Is it really still Spring?

Did you know that Spring is officially over in Houston?  It is HOT here already!  The other day the temperature gauge nearly touched 100.  Heck, it may have in some parts of the city.  We’ve been doing what we can to keep cool, but still get a bit of nature in our days.  Recently, we [...]

Helpful

Ok, so I kinda slacked on the last half of April.  Woops.  I had a birthday, so there’s that.  We still got outside as much as we could for the great outdoor challenge.  Admittedly, I’m sure I missed a couple of days in there somewhere. I joined a gym and the boys are [...]

Bubbles

We love bubbles around here.  Who doesn’t?

We wasted so much bubble solution from spills last year.  A friend recently introduced me to the ‘no spill’ bottles.  I am so incredibly thankful!

That same friend introduced us to this huge bubble maker.  Fun and easy for the kids to manipulate.
