First grade already — where does the time go! Kidlet really didn’t want to get up and go to school today. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t nerves (kidlet is so far from shy and retiring), but just a desire to stay home and play. Still, it can’t hurt to remind him that I am thinking about him […]
Summer is 2/3 gone already, its hard to belive. Another month and it’s back to the grindstone for the kidlet. In the meantime, camp invention is winding down. Here is todays packed lunch. Egg salad sammies with cheese duck toppers. Wavy sliced apple flowers, strawberries and (currently frozen) blueberries, peas and a slice of strawberry […]
Kidlet has his final week long day camp this week. He is doing Camp Invention being held at his elementary school, which this year is thier “Innovate” program . It has a number of modules, but his favorite yesterday was disassembling a “take apart item”, which we sent with him (He took an old mini boombox […]
When I pick Kidlet up from day camp, the lunch stuff is still generally out on tables in the party room where they eat. Three days in a row I’ve been, not shocked, but a little suprised at the crap that most of the kids have in thier lunches. The pile of trash is ridiculous […]
He’s been eating so little of his lunch this week, I used one of our smaller boxes and just packed a large snack. Sandwich, layered cheese flower with fruit roll up face, watermelon and blueberries.
Despite a small meltdown yesterday, kidlet is really enjoying this day camp. It’s one I picked for him just for pure fun. His June camp was about team work and sportmanship. His August camp is science and engineering. Both are designed to be fun as well as teaching, but this week — nothing remotely educational […]
Day camp this week. Turkey and colby jack on whole wheat “flatout” roll-up, raspberries and blueberries, carrot and broccoli, babybel cheese.
I have to say, I really don’t understand the people that head out to crazy packed venues like children’s museums, amusement parks, and the zoo late in the day. When we go to those places - like today, taking advantage of our Oregon Zoo membership – we go as soon as they are open, or as close […]
Poor kidlet picked up a bit of a sunburn yesterday. He’s never burned before, although I guess I shouldn’t be shocked since I forgot his sunscreen. He has always had very sensitive skin (he’s the kid that couldn’t be in a wet diaper for 3 seconds without getting a rash), and with the weather the way […]
Kidlet didn’t want to leave day camp yesterday. They have the half day option (9-1) that we chose, a full day option that goes until 5, and before and after care as well. Well, the full day kids were having a “field trip” yesterday to – of all places – a field (lol) where they […]
