saturday

the day started for me with helping Trev - he wanted to paint his Monolophosaurus.
that set the tone for the day, I guess, for there were many Create! projects to follow.



there was a picnic on the grass

and play in the playhouse.

there was art created with foam pieces,

and there were water color projects,


and drawing projects,

and paperboat creations.

there was swimming
(of course)

and imaginary games of Mario,
and Diego
and Prehistory.

There was a fair - with roller coaster-

and skeletal assembly

and a tea party.


More Prehistory,
(in the mud, in the sandbox, on the grass),

more Paint

and more tea (with real cookies, grapes, and cherries, this time).


Dino Squad on the wiiiii/netflix (that would be the girls)
and Jurassic Park Operation : Genesis for the boys.

duck, duck, goose on the trampoline.

creating puzzles.

swimfest
- their daddy's here... must swim and pretend that they cannot hear him from all this fun and splash and noise -
lalalalala...

Friends go.  Eventually.

To the garden for supper trimmin's then

and
Barbie
American Dragon
and
a story for Mama.

 'nilla pudding

and lastly a neighborhood bike ride
(for a little end-of-the-day exercise).

and now, we're for quiet
and peace
and rest.

that's all, then.
and that will do.

  4. I especially love the photo in the playhouse of them having tea with the stuffed animal in the chair with them. So sweet. Guess I miss those little girl tea party days.

  7. I saw this and thought you might want to see it and possibly pass this on to Trev (though he's likely already seen it): http://io9.com/5595709/new-godzilla-design
