Just Gettin' Some Learnin'

The other day I noticed that Carson was having a very rare moment of being quiet and sitting in one place.  I had to sneak up and check out what he was doing...

...my darling boy was just getting some learnin' on his own.  Just teachin' himself to write the word C-A-T and F-O-X.

He has always loved doing his 'homework' and is looking sooo forward to starting kindergarten.  Just 13 days!  I am excited and sad at the same time.  I will get so much more done!  But I won't have my little monkey sitting behind me in my desk chair (LITERALLY behind me IN my desk chair).  I will be so lonely.  :(

Tomorrow we go to the boys school to get their school supplies and their spirit day t-shirts.  I'm beginning to smell fall in the air!  I'll be dreaming of pumpkin spice candles and Halloween decorations tonight!

Cassette Tapes

So cool.  Made out of paper and legos. How do people have the time and patience?

Chicago by Boat -- A timelapse journey...

Very cool. I've always wanted to go to Chicago. This gives an interesting perspective.

Froggy Hunt

I had to take the boys with me to my doctors appointment the other day.  The window of our room overlooked the lake and the whole time we were in there I had to promise Carson that the minute we were done I would take them to see if we could find any frogs.  :)

Sadly we didn't come across any frogs.  We did however see lots of minnows and a crane!
