Mom, Boys, Museum

To celebrate Alexander finishing Kindergarten with such success, I took him and Emmett up to North Hampton MA to the Eric Carle Museum.  Hannah was still in school so I thought it might be a bit easier with just the 2 boys.  We had a very special day getting to know this wonderful illustrator a little better, enjoying the well stocked library, creating our own pieces of art and having a picnic lunch out on the grounds.  

Strawberry Bars and a Good Book

Beat the Blues with Purple

A certain someone had a case of too much inside because of bad weather blues.  So I took out a book, a large piece of paper and a purple crayon...

Sorry for the cliffhanger, no picture of the final artwork...but he was happy for the afternoon!

Seusstastic Day!

As the kids are getting older it is fun to see their interests starting to develop and come out.  As parents, we try to foster those interests in healthy and supportive ways.  That is easy to do when your children love to read!  We celebrated Dr Seuss's birthday with 2 more of his books (believe it or not we did not have a copy of The Cat in the Hat!), 2 new soft friends and some "green eggs and ham" (idea from Pinterest of course).
