Weather change!!--Sept. 16, 2011

We have had such a HOT summer, so it has been more special than usual to have cooler days!  Oliver didn't have school for part of last week (due to parent/teacher conferences) so he and his friends spent most of the days playing outside.  Eli joined them, and for some reason, I thought they looked so cute in their cooler-weather clothes...probably because neither one of them have worn long pants or long sleeves for months!

 Oliver and his friend having a snack wearing sweatshirts and covered with a blanket.  Those are actually gloves on Oliver's lap...he tends to overdue things a bit!

The best thing to play in is...DIRT!--Sept. 13, 2011

To put it simply, I think we need a sandbox.  When Oliver was Eli's age, we were living in our duplex and we had a nice little area of dirt for Oliver to dig in, play in, etc.  We really don't have anywhere like that now, so Eli has started to dig in one of my empty flower boxes.  Oliver even joined him at one point!

Pajamas pants go where?--Sept. 7, 2011

Eli was digging in the laundry and found a pair of pajama pants.  Of course, he wanted to put them on "BY MYSELF" and found a interesting way to wear them!

Exploration Place--Sept. 1, 2011

Eli and I made a couple of trips to Exploration Place recently.  The first time we went by ourselves, and the second time some friends joined us.
