Pirates! Arrr!

March 27th, 2009

This is what we do at Mommy Daycare. What do you get to do at work?

Summer Cut

March 23rd, 2009

Gavin’s hair grows so fast! He had a hair cut at the end of February (exactly four weeks ago) and we were back for another today. I should have taken him last weekend, but I thought it was just too soon.

Spring Has Sprung

March 21st, 2009

Last Sunday, we spent some quality time working around the house. Scott finished a shelf organizer for the garage. We gathered up LOTS of trash and boxes from the garage. Just clearing out the trash and a little reorg made the garage looks much better. I replaced all the coconut liners in my hanging baskets (that was no fun) and planted some pansies. We cleaned out the gutters, mowed the lawn, and cleared out the garden area. Scott had the luxurious job of pooper-scoopering the front yard.
Our front yard looks like Spring. YEAH!

Membership Has Its Priveleges – Thanks Dad!

March 19th, 2009

We took Gavin to the Children’s Museum and the Zoo (in the same day). The Lego exhibit had just opened at the Musuem and it was VERY crowded. Gavin seemed to be oblivious that the items were made out of Lego’s. I think the scale was too much for him. He is loving the Dinosaur exhibit. He talks about Frannie, the dinosaur, often.
Since the musuem was so crowded, we headed over to the zoo to see the penguins. It has been wonderful to just stop in, spend an hour, and leave… no money spent! The walrus’ were very active that day. The one in the picture was playing peek-a-boo with Gavin. It was as cute as a giant walrus gets.
The memberships are wonderful! We have gotten tons of use out of both of them. My dad renews mine… one for my birthday and the other for Christmas. We added Eagle Creek Park to our membership list this year. This way we can take Bingo with us on some visits.

Mommy Daycare Teaches Science Class

March 18th, 2009

I had the opportunity to teach science today. For those of you who know me, this was quite a huge step. Gavin and I talked about ants… what they eat, where they live, and how much they can carry. Gavin discovered several ants by the outside wall of our office. Then, I noticed a small item moving slowly across the floor. This ant provided lots of entertainment over the next hour or so. Gavin would run over to check on his progress and then run back to what he was doing. He was intrigued by the ants all day… even after I ran the vacuum. =)

Bath Time

March 17th, 2009

Gavin loves bath time! Not sure why… the colored water (yellow this day), wrinkly fingers and toes, or Daddy’s crazy hair styles.

Mommy Daycare

March 15th, 2009

This was Gavin’s second week with me at work. He has done very well. I have a good sized office with my desk at one end and Gavin’s things at the other. It breaks up my day… get to work, snack time, lunch time, nap time, snack time, and home. He has a little more energy when he gets home each night, but seems to be having fun.
