Planting


Aunt Kathy gave us planting kits a little while ago. I had forgotten about them and found them in the closet. Here are some pictures of the kids starting the seeds. Cole got very upset when we had to put them in the frig. She wanted to play in the dirt. If they grow - and that's a big if - maybe we will take them to Turkey Swamp Park to plant.

Cole loves helping daddy. Here she is helping daddy change the brake pads on the dump truck.

Author Eric Carle's Birthday

I have so many post saved that I started to write but stopped to chase the babies around. I'm hoping to catch up and finish them in the next day or two. I've been saving tissue paper. Wrinkled, ripped is doesn't matter. I just love the colors. I just knew I would find a craft for them. I let the little ones rip up some of the paper. This made a big mess, but they loved it. I also made some magnets to go with two of his books. They had such a blast. I sat in the middle of the kitchen floor with the book. As I called an animal I told them to take the animal from the dishwasher to the frig. They had so much fun running back and forth. Thank heavens the books are short because I think I read them at least five times each.
For a craft I'm planning on gluing the colored tissue to make ?? Whatever they want to make. Mommy is going to try to make an animal. I'll post picture after we attempt this.

Manasquan Reservoir with Grandma


Such a great day! We should have packed a lunch and had a picnic. Any time we see water Cole wants to catch fish.
I'm going to have to get a fishing poll for them. Maybe I'll get one like my mothers. When ever we "went fishing" she would sit in her folding chair with her bamboo fishing pole. Every once in a while she would pull it in just to watch the frog on the end hop through the water just to throw it back out and go back to reading her book. She said it was the best kind of "fishing". When I was little I don't think I realize she wouldn't catch anything with just a frog.

Blog surfing

I was doing a little blog surfing while the babies napped. Yeah, I know I should be cleaning or something. Well - I am doing some laundry. Any way I found this site that I thought was cute. Rocks in my dryer. I'm a little envious of people that can come up with great names for their blogs like this. I've been thinking of changing the name and address of my blog to something cute and funny. I've yet to come up with a name that is blog worthy.
Oh, by the way. I may not have rocks in my dryer, but right now - I do have ducks in the washer....
