Keeping Occupied

This was at one of Stephanie's soccer games.

They had some really nice climbing trees.

And at the place where Stephanie has soccer practice, 

there is a playground for Phil to hang out on.

He usually finds time to dig in the gravel too.

Children's Museum Field Trip

On April 26th, Philip's class had a field trip at the Lincoln Children's Museum.

I went along.

It was a very busy day for pre-schoolers at the museum. 

There must have been 8 different classes there.

It was like supervising a swarm of bees.

They all had a great time.

I'm glad I went.

And I really want some of these blocks.

The Coozy

Last night we took the kids to the Kevin Fowler concert. John bought the girls each a t-shirt but there was nothing small enough for Phil. So we got him a beer soda coozy. He wore it on his hand most of the night.

Meredith wasn't feeling so great so while everybody else was standing by the stage. She and Phil and I were sitting at the table. Phil was just sitting there playing with his coozy and I was trying to decide if she was sick or just tired, then I looked up and Phil was just crying like his heart was broken. I guess he hit the wall! So the three of us left and he took his coozy to bed with him.

He just got up a few minutes ago. He came out of his room and said I had to come help him find his coozy! It fell behind the bed. Now he's sitting by me playing with the coozy.

It's camo and has "Beer Season/Kevin Fowler" written in orange on one side. The other side has a "sight" decal.

Phil was helping me in the kitchen today, he noticed the ice tea maker and asked, "Are there dirt bags in there?"

Stories & Artwork

Philip's class writes stories. Well, the kids tell the stories and the teacher writes it down.

Holidays

Phil's class went on a field trip to the mall to see Santa earlier this month. Here is his take on what they did.

Here is his "Thanksgiving" Letter. (I think that red thing is a table.) I love how he wrote his name backwards.

Changing out the quotes on the sidebar today.
