Park it!

We took all the cousins to the park to play. It was chaos in motion, but lots of fun!

"Whee!"

Slides are fun!

Brother Can You Lend Me a Book?

We have always been a library going family, so of course one of our first family trips was to check out our new local library. Let me just say that it was love at first sight. When we pulled into the parking lot we saw that there was a playground right behind the library. How cool is that?

When I met the Head Children’s Librarian and told her that we are Home Educators, (Here in Tennessee it’s “Home Education”, not “Home School”. Don’t we sound smarter already?) She just beamed and said “Then we’re your school library.” I immediately fell in love. She is such a wonderful lady. She had all the kids sign up for the summer reading program. Even with moving and running back and forth to Ohio we managed by the skin of our teeth to finish by last Saturday.

I haven’t told the kids yet, but this October their Pediatrician’s office is moving next door to the library. Talk about location, location, location! Oh and did I mention that two of my favorite grocery stores are just down the street?

Can We Go to the Playground?

It's probably the first question I hear most days. "Can we go to the playground?" The kidlets love being able to have such a fun place to play. I love it because it is so close to our apartment. If it weren't for the leaves on the trees I could look out my front window and see the playground.

I'm glad that we do have a good place to play as our back yard is rather sad.
