Museum for Me

 

I've posted about our first day of school previously, but here's what we did on the first day of school for the public schools in our area.  We went to the Children's Museum and it was a fabulous day to go!  It was much quieter than usual and the kids that were there were Peanut's age or younger.  That makes it a bit slower and quieter than when the "big kids" are barreling through...

 

It was a beautiful day and we spent quite a bit of time on the upper deck playing in the sand and on this piano.

I love the little Kidtropolis town they have there.  They have about 8 little activities from a vet's office to a news station, but Peanut's favorite is mailman and grocer.  He doesn't have much interest in branching out despite my efforts to get him to work in the café...

 

 

Sister slept the whole time Peanut was checking groceries and delivering mail which was great because when she woke up we went to the tiny tot area and she was ready to play!

I love this little sofa in the above picture.  I wish we had one at home, too cute!

Boat racing is another favorite activity. 

But here is the real reason for the trip...

 

The limited time Thomas the Train exhibit that was there!  Peanut is a big fan of this talking train and we just had to see him in person!  Or at least large cardboard cut outs and massive train set ups...

 

It was fun to watch all the kids play together and share the tracks quite nicely they did!

Here is Peanut fixing Percy's wheels.

He is so cute and determined in his play.  He goes from gleeful exuberance to quiet concentration in minutes.  I love this museum and I learn something each time we go as well.  I am so glad that we can learn and play together.  Have a great week friends and family!

School Days

 

Earlier this month we had our first day of school.  We had been looking forward to it since mid-summer.   Well I had anyways...Peanut just takes things day by day. Smile.  I love Peanut's school, his little classmates, their moms, and especially his teachers.  We try to show them with lots of thank you's and little treats now and again.  These little jars are filled with apple pie and caramel apple flavored candy corn.  I may have had the opportunity to try some while I was filling them and well,YUM!

 

I think this next picture might always be my favorite first day of school picture.  I mean really, can it get any cuter than this?  I have no idea why he cocked his head that way but he looks so darn happy about it!

And the following Monday Princess went to "school" for the first time.  Yes, I did say Princess.  As cute as can be in her little apple outfit made by Mommy.  I love her so.

If you can't read Peanut's shirt it says, "It's Good to be the King".  So, I have a Princess and a King.

By the way, our first days were great and now we are two weeks in and we are making new friends and learning lots.  We will keep you updated as our year progresses!  Have a great week friends and family.
