take me out to the ball game

Derek’s group at work planned a end of busy season activity and invited everyone in the group and their families to an Atlanta Braves game. We decided to take the whole day off and enjoy the day. We skipped school and work, didn’t get dressed until 10:00 and made crepes for breakfast. Yum!


Today’s game started at noon so it was perfect (a little hot but better than if we had gone in July). We didn’t know how long the kids would last but we actually watched (or should I stayed for) the whole game.


Jensen got a baseball from one of the pitchers in the bull pen because we were sitting right by it and Jensen was watching. As soon as we got home all Jensen wanted to do was play baseball with his “real” baseball.
Siesa enjoyed eating the peanuts and watching the players run.

We all had a great time.

Kindergarten(a month late)

Jensen started kindergarten. He was so ready to go and couldn’t wait. He loves it. Derek took him his first day on the train.

Siesa loves it too. The first day Jensen was gone I found her in their bed room playing with all Jensen’s “special toys” she has also taken his clothing to wear, slept in his bed and played with a lot of his toy while he is gone. For the record she is always glad to have him home and they do have a good time playing together.

What to do with all that art?

It all started 2 years ago when Jensen started preschool. Now with two kids in school/preschool it has gotten out of control . . .art , art and more art. Don’t get me wrong I love doing art projects with my kids but what to do with them has always been the question. I was tired of random pictures stuck all over the walls so I decide it was time to come up with a better solution to display my kids art projects. I stretched fabric on wooden frames and with the help of a staple gun created this.

and with the art

With the help of push pins we can switch the pictures anytime we what. It has been fun for my kids to be able to have there art work on display instead of all over the house.

Next problem -how to keep books on the book self with a 3 year old and a 11 months old. any thought?
