Bubble Action Afternoon


Photo-A-Day #3660

Andrew and I spent the day together doing some outside activities. We walked over to Capron Park to play on the playground. He’s so fearless. He was playing on everything all over the playground. He is also so cute when he talks to other kids. He clearly wants to make friends. He’s very good about not putting hands on other kids but unfortunately that can’t be said about other kids. He came up to one little boy to talk to him and the boy immediately pushed him away. the boy was smaller than Andrew so he didn’t move him or anything so there wasn’t much to worry about but the rejection. Andrew shook it off and followed him around a little bit. He kept telling me that he was going to play with the baby (the kid had a pacifier). Eventually they played together a little.

Andrew was also a big fan of the swings. I taught him a bit about how to swing correctly by pumping his feet. We went on the swings a number of times and at the last time he was telling me that I should be pumping my legs like him.

After about an hour we walked home and played in the house a while. Then we took to the back yard to play out there. Kicking around the soccer ball and then I did some yardwork. It was pretty much a lot of pruning and cutting out dead branches and vines. Still have much more leaf raking to do as well.

Tonight after dinner the kids had fun blowing bubbles and chasing them all around the backyard. I had fun photographing them having that fun.


First PB&J Day of the Summer

For the First day of Eva’s Summer Vacation we did not have Peanut butter and Jelly Sandwiches on an adventure for our Adventure Wednesdays. We’re trying to do something interesting each Wednesday as a fun activity with the kids. However, today’s activity was preceded by a special haircut for Eva. She decided that she wanted to donate her hair to a child who did not have any so we went to Sorella Salon and she had 8 inches cut off for Children With Hair Loss. We are so proud of her and her haircut is adorable. This was her second hair donation in her lifetime.

Eva's Haircut

After the haircut we I picked up a couple subs from D’Angelo and we brought it to the World War I Memorial Park to play in the playground. The kids had a great time and I was so impressed to see how well Andrew climbed all over everything. The kids love that playground and we enjoyed it, too. One of Eva’s classmates was there too. She was all excited and went running over to him to give him a hug and he didn’t recognize her with the new haircut.
