Keeping Busy

These weeks are just flying by!! It's hard to believe that we are already in October. I am still mourning the loss of summer, but we've had a nice warm spell the last few days to help me transition to the cold and rain coming our way. I have developed my own little preschool program for the kiddos, so we keep busy with that. I focus on a letter and a topic a week. We read books, make art projects, make food, sing songs and go on "field trips."
We went to the fair a few weeks ago. The topic that week was apples, so I thought we could get a caramel apple at the fair, but they were $5 each and looked like they had been sitting there for 3 weeks. So, Jack enjoyed the rides, Lindsey enjoyed seeing all the animals and Chad (my brother) and I enjoyed people watching.




We went to the Locks last week as we were talking about boats. The kids loved watching the fish in the fish ladder and watching a big yacht going through the Locks. We had a picnic lunch at Gasworks park and made a stop to see the giant under the bridge in Freemont.



We spent last weekend at Snoqualmie Pass at a cabin that my mom's friend let us use for the night. It was a perfect getaway weekend- only 45 minutes away- and the weather was gorgeous. We biked, hiked, scooted, ate, played games and hot tubbed.
