While in New Orleans over the weekend we found our best transportation on Saturday to be the trolley train car system (that’s what we ended up calling it anyway). The boys were most excited to ride it, especially Little G. Our first ride was quite nice and just took us back and forth along part…
You Capture – Get Outside
A little trip to the zoo and a ride on the zoo train with “Mother Bear”… and some play time at the playground there as well. Checking out the animals (the ones that weren’t hiding in their ‘houses’ anyway…) The clouds were pretty. Some time playing by the ‘sprinkler ball’ in the yard. And a…
New Friends, New Places
Last Friday I loaded up the kids and headed for Alexandria. Louisiana, that is. Don’t my children look just thrilled? They really were, it was just very sunny. Oh and apparently Baby K was already scopin’ the animals… There’s a zoo there and we met up with Heather and her kidlets. Aren’t they cute?? In…
You Capture – Reaching
I didn’t think I would have any pictures for the topic this week but our little trip to the zoo provided me with a few… Reaching for Food (very pretty giraffe) Reaching for the sky AND the ground (this tree was HUGE!) Reaching just for the FUN of it (these guys were silly!) And I’m…
WW – Sometimes I Feel This Way Too
We visited the local zoo yesterday (for the first time) and this little guy just sat there and stared at us as we walked by. I kinda felt like if he could talk he’d say “Won’t someone, anyone, let me out of here?” You all know I LOVE, ADORE and CHERISH my life as mother…
A Day to Get Out
Some days I just feel the pull to spend time outdoors. Today was one of those days. I noticed the sun high in the sky and the blue color begged for my observation. So after church and lunch and living room toy clean up it was time to go sliding and walking and duck-feeding and…
PSF – He Loves to Pose
We went to the Fort Worth Museum of Science and Natural History yesterday and the boys had a great time. They have an outdoor “Dino Dig” and a great children’s play area as well as many fabulous exhibits. They also have an outdoor water play area but it was closed due to the fact that…
My Outing Today, This Weekend and ANOTHER Blog
Let me set the scene for you: Three kids, including an infant IN an infant carrier. Toddler with “space & rockets” p.j.s and dirty socks. No shoes. Kindergartener still in school uniform and his coat (actually looking pretty good). Mom who decides on a whim that it’s a good idea to drive to a certain…
WW – A Place Where There Were Pumpkins
On Saturday we took the family to a local church that was hosting a little fall carnival and pumpkin “patch” (or as I say, pumpkin staging area…). They had a bounce house, bake sale, hot dogs, some farm animals to admire (no petting!) and a pumpkin decorating area. Oh and maze that was muddy but…
WW – Four No More
It won’t be too much longer and we won’t be a family of four anymore. All I really wanna know… Who is going to ride with a stranger on the roller coasters in a few years? I know, probably me. Just teasing. But it is kinda of crazy to think that there will be FIVE…
