Happy February! We’re a whole month into the New Year and I’m still not sure where 2009 went!
We had a great time this week. Our field trip to the Hands On Children’s Museum in Olympia was a lot of fun. CareBear and LiliBee were a little overwhelmed by all of the kids and stuff at first (CareBear more than LiliBee, my poor little drama queen) but we soon figured out how things worked. CareBear loved the tree house, the boat and the light house especially… she’s always happy when she can climb something! LiliBee was more interested in the “trucks” that she could drive. They both agreed that the play dough area and the peg wall were good for two or three visits each. It was sad to say goodbye to our teacher, but I’m sure that the new one will be just as much fun. As an added bonus, we were able to go have lunch with Chris after the field trip. It’s always a big adventure to go see Papa at work!
We also went to a birthday party over the weekend. One of CareBear’s preschool friends had a “pajama party” complete with pillow cases to decorate, bed bug games and cupcakes with little candy pajamas on them. CareBear talked the kids into playing hide and seek for awhile before it deteriorated into a chaotic game of tag or chase… I’m not entirely sure. They had a great and noisy time. LiliBee wasn’t quite old enough to understand everything that the “big” kids were doing, but she had a lot of fun just running around after them.
My first nonstress test was uneventful… other than having to sit there strapped to a machine for about 45 minutes before they got the readings that they wanted. Banjo is cooking right along with no signs of stress. And I get to do that every week for the next 7 weeks or so. Fun.
In other news, our front yard is back together after last week’s trauma! Chris put in our new mailbox and several new fence sections so it’s almost like it never happened… other than part of the fence being new and shiny compared to the older sections and the lavender trying to recover from being run over! Still, it looks very nice I think.
I’ll be going to school Thursday to be the art mom, but otherwise I think we have a fairly normal week! (Ok, I’m not entirely sure what counts as “normal” anymore, we seem to alternate between “really busy” and “sort of busy” these days!)
