It’s What We Do

New playground!  Pirate ship/island themed.  A pretty good one, really.

The jeep might only fit in loosely with the theme of the rest of the playground, but the kids didn’t seem to mind.

                        
Tick-tock, tick-tock!  Our new read-aloud is Peter Pan.  Watch out Hook, that croc is coming to get you!


Peter Pan deftly leads his Lost Boys through the obstacles, but starts to look a little ill on the spinny thing.

I don’t even remember what was going on here but she sure is cute!

                   
This “experiment” is suggested in the back of one of Logan’s books and he was asking about it, so I picked up a batch of daisies at the farmer’s market.  Unfortunately the ONLY food coloring I could find was the gel kind which, apparently, can’t really be absorbed by the flowers.  Still, they’ve looked nice sitting in their colored water all week.

               
The animals got sorted into enclosures and habitats, then we had snack time at the zoo.  From the stairs, you can see the whole of the zoo with the bird cage, the bear pen, the wild animal park, the petting zoo (divided into pets and farm animals) with Logan in it, and the water tank.

                         
                            
Photo session upon receiving Naomi’s new quilt!

                           
We attempted some potty training this week and while Naomi was very willing to give it a go, I just don’t think we’re there yet.  We’ll try again. 

We interrupt this broadcast to bring you an important message--Logan saw Mommy working on this (while overseeing bath time) and wanted to do his own typing.  So, with Mommy only pressing the shift key as necessary, Logan typed this: Logan Jacob Wilde Naomi Adelle Wilde Heidi Marie Wilde Jacob Herman Wilde

 
Appropriately enough, here’s my sunny little computer master himself.

Naomi wasn’t playing to the camera that day, but the sunshine still loves her blonde hair and perfect cheeks.

And, sometimes, this is how we do it.
