It always amazes me how different each of the boys are. They really do have different personalities, likes, dislikes, and of course, funny sayings. Lately, D (4.5 years) has been obsessed with the game – Chutes and Ladders. He has played it with different people, but God bless Grammy for playing with him over and …
Preschoolers

The boys love talking about the changing seasons and looking at all of the magnificent colors of the fall leaves. We wanted to decorate the house a little with the beautiful colors of fall, so we made a stained glass fall leaf craft! It was a bit more difficult than I had prepared for, but …
Our summer garden is coming to an end, but the okra is still holding on. It has been so hot here, I just don’t want to go pick the okra some days, so, when I finally make it out there, there are a few pieces that are overgrown and hard. I had been throwing some …
This turtle with shell craft is one of my favorite crafts from my kindergarten teaching days! I have been waiting to do this craft with the Captain, and figured he was old enough and had enough attention span to complete it, and I was right. He loved it! I let D make a Turtle, too, …
