I dunno why you want to spend so much money on toys mom! I’ll happily move old buttons into a recycled canister for hours. (please ignore the fact that the playroom badly needs vacuuming!) A few styrofoam balls from an old planet mobile kit, the inside of a garbage can lid. Wheeee spin the balls.
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.
It being summer, kidlet is well aware that it is his vacation from academia. He has no tolerance for map worksheets or math problems or anything that he recognizes as “school stuff”. Still, I don’t want him to lose any skills from lack of use, and he really does need to work on his handwriting, […]
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 […]

 Mostly quiet day at home for us. Kidlet and I went to the farmers market this morning, but didn’t pick up much aside from some the local strawberries from the same vendor as last week. Both weeks they were a little bit beat up, but oh so sweet and juicy. His favorite bakery vendor (with […]
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 […]
