Update

I know I haven't posted in quiet awhile, but my life has been pretty crazy lately. I've started watching the kids after school Monday thru Thursday. I have some pictures of stuff we have been doing. We eat lunch and read three books. Then Amelia goes to sleep. Bo either does busy bags, puzzles, coloring, iPad, or naps while I do homework. Basically I give him simple independent activities to do while I do homework. He usually sits at the table with me and is very quiet because he's an awesome kid like that. If I don't have too much homework and it's nice we head outside or to the park.

Next order of business is summer 2015. I have got BIG plans. Bo requested a summer camp so that's what we're going to do. I will give you guys the same hints I've given Bo:

     1. It is called BAM camp. 

     2. Each week has a theme and accompanying songs and activities. 

     3. We will be outside a ton!

 We had cinnamon scented play dough.

Bo drew a picture to go with a poem he learned at school. It was adorable.

I got an iPhone 6 and Jacob wanted to play with slow-mo.

 Valentines day cookie cutters to go with our play dough. We also had heart shaped sandwiches that day.

 We LOVE play dough.

 A new favorite is bathtub crayons.

 Bo and I did this one day while Amelia napped. It is all magnetic so we can do it again. The set came in a metal box and had several different plastic pages. Essential it's a magnetic color by number.

 Bo loves Color Wonder. I like it because it will only color on the Color Wonder paper.

 One day I brought chalk boards. Bo actually did a little reading with it. I would write a word like dog or mom and he would sound it out. 

 This funny kid likes to wear my keys and sunglasses while sitting in the front seat waiting to get Bo from school.

One day I had a lot of homework so we just went outside for a little while. We probably sang this song and danced around the driveway for an hour or more. Bo came up with it all on his own.

 It was beautiful last week, so we spent the day at the park and went walking in the woods near my old house.

Today is Spring Break and we had all day. It was warm enough to be out, so we went to Wildcat Park. First we visited the Nature Center and rode a frog. Then we walked the short loop (Amelia did surprising well. She walked the whole thing.). Then we had a picnic and headed home. We spent close to 4 hours there. It is one of Bo's favorite "adventures".

A Day at the Park

I picked the kiddos up today and we headed to the park with our picnic lunch. It doesn't get much better than 72 degrees in January. We all had a blast. Bo's photography is coming right along and Amelia is about to master the twisty slide.

Bo took a lot of the shots in this video. The kid loves GoPro.

I Can't Believe It's Over

I got super busy with school and didn't get a chance to post about our last week, so here it is finally.

 Monday we headed to the drive way with some ride on toys. Amelia went with the Hollywood  look.

 Bo wore the GoPro on his head while he road and filled up at the "gas station".

 We had lots of fun.

 Bo's box was a farm box. I used rice as the base (since I couldn't find field corn). I used a Farm Toob. The fence and trees came out of a farm set I found at Walmart on clearance.

 Amelia had oat, spoons and measuring cups.

 Then we took the GoPro for a test run in the pool.

 Bo took an underwater summersault selfie.

On Amelia's head

 I honestly don't remember our craft and don't seem to have any pictures of it.

 Tuesday we went to the park for the last time.

 When we got back Amelia took a nap, while Bo and I made chocolate dipped banana popsicles (Bo was in charge of sprinkles can ya tell?).

 Marshall bought home this HUGE box. They spent a good amount of time decorating it.

 After our boxes we went for our last swim.

 Pool selfie!

 Bo took this one.

 Gus of course had to join in the fun.

 Bo took this too. He really likes the GoPro.

 While I things picked up Bo hung out in his box.

 Amelia on the other hand fell asleep on this mountain of toys.

 Bo opted to take a bath. It wasn't 10 minutes before he was asleep too.

 Wednesday we spent the day at Wildcat.

We had a picnic, walked the trail, visited the nature center, and played in the spring. We got home just in time for me to pack up all of my stuff.

We had an AWESOME summer and I absolutely can't wait until next year. I will tell you that Bo has requested a "summer camp for you (Morgan), me (Bo), and Sis." I have already started planning and I can't wait for Summer 2015. 

I have a video that I made of our summer that I will have to post at another time.
