Preschool Time!

Since Ty missed the deadline for kindergarten, we figured we needed to do some sort of preschool. Last year, we did a rotation with some other families in the neighborhood, but all those kids started school. So this year, it's up to me. I'm doing one with Ty and Jordo, very simple, but it gives us all a schedule and some good quality things to fill our Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Here are a few of the things we've done:

The boys love working in their little books. If only homework always stayed this fun.

For 'A' we did apple art. We cut shapes with apples and painted.

The boys love this kind of stuff, and this helps me to let them do it more.

Here's Jordo, quite focused.

For 'E' we went on and egg hunt. The kids thought I'd gone crazy since they know Easter doesn't come again until after Halloween and Christmas, but they didn't put up a fight either.

Jordo found one by the toothbrushes!

Ty's clue took him to the bookshelf.

Jordo loved the one that was hidden in the pumpkin candle.

Here they are with their eggs, eating their egg candy.

It's been a lot of fun for me to have some quality time with the boys while Brooke naps.

They are both so smart and it's fun to see and help them learn.

We'll see how letters F through Z go!

Owlz Baseball Game

There is just something about being at the stadium for a sporting event. And our boys can feel it and LOVE it. We try to take them to as much as we can, but it's not as much as we would like. This past week, Kev's parents took us to an Owlz game and the boys were so excited! They even willingly took a nap so they could stay up later.

Here's the crew. A kind passer-by took this picture for us, but as you can tell, there was a lot going on.

Our boys don't really have a great relationship with mascots. Up until this picture, they've pretty much been terrified. Jordo consented only because I was there, and Ty didn't want to come at all. But once his younger brother showed him up, he decided he wanted to dig down deep and find some bravery.

And he did. He's holding on pretty tight to that bar, but he is pretty proud of himself.

We had a great time! I don't think Ty stopped talking once the whole night. He even told Kev that he wants to dig up the grass in our yard to make it into a baseball field. If only...

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for more fun memories!
