September Miscelaneous

September continued to provide us with lots to do - Preschool on Tuesday and Thursday from 8:45-11:45, Music Class Thursdays from 11:45-12:30, Swimming Friday's from 10:45-11:15, Dance class for Shea on Monday mornings 9-10 (Wes and I spend some fun time together during this and he of course always gets a treat (juice and m and m's) and last but not least Soccer on Saturdays from 10-11. It is nice to keep them active along with normal fill in stuff like playing, playing on their cozy coupes and scooters (they are actually pretty good on a scooter), art, etc. Here are some random pictures showing them doing some of those things.

Pajama Day for Shea at Preschool:

Shea was Star of the Week at Preschool:

Insect Day at Preschool for Wes:

Wes had insect day at preschool. I tried to find a plastic one at the store take - but no such luck (of course I could find them after the fact). So we always have lots of praying mantis' around our house. On Monday night I saw one out back but didn't think I would be able to keep it alive until Thursday. So on Wednesday night Wes, Shea and I went out to look for another one (Rob was at a continuing Ed class). So of course we could only find this huge one that I just scooped into a container real quick. Everyone in Wes's Class loved it!! We returned him to his home once we were done with him :)

Arbor Gate Park Play

More Chalco Park Fun:

Sidewalk paint Fun:

So this was an art idea from Pinterest. This is the first time we did it. And I can't believe I am going to admit this but it did not turn out the way it was supposed to (not that Shea and Wes knew anything was wrong - they painted and had fun). The recipe calls for corn starch and I bought corn meal instead - so as you can imagine - it was lumpy. The second time was much better and actually makes awesome paint that dries like sidewalk chalk and Shea and Wes love helping to make it.
