It took me a second to get these photos loaded but this is actually from Wednesday, Oct 11th.
This day was STELLAR! This was one of the few days that everything went off without a hitch. During "outside" time, I took the boys to a park in our neighborhood. It had rained pretty heavily the day before so the playground equipment was all wet and icky. I figured swinging was a pretty safe activity!
The boys really had a good time :)
They could swing for a loooooooooonnnnnnnng time!
When were all done, we took a nature walk and looked at "big" leaves and "small" leaves. We observed sticks, rocks, and even found a gigantic spider web! The boys lingered at a bridge looking at the "river" as Sumo called it - basically it was only a dried up creek with remnants of the rain. Where did he learn about rivers? I have no idea :)
A couple of the leaves we observed got picked and made it home with us. I'm not a super crafty person but the idea struck me to make an arts and crafts project out of it. I taped the leaves, face-up to the back of a sheet of copy paper and during Sumo's school time had him color over the leaf, making an impression. We discussed "big" and "little". He was awestruck out how a leaf appeared out of nowhere. I felt like the greatest Mom ever.
Like I've said many times before...most of my days are far from perfect but this one was...well...very SWEET!
Thought I'd share...
