tiny bridges

On Sunday we went to the free morning at the Delaware Museum of Natural History to see the dinosaur fossils! It’s a small museum, I think there are four main exhibit halls and two were closed, but it felt like just the right size for a three year old. There was a T. [...]

Oh Library Book Sale time, we love it so much. Even Fiona was super excited, although I think she would have been happier if we’d left a little more quickly.

A boxed set of 10 Magic School Bus books that I thought we may need a little time to grow into, but [...]

There is a park across the street and we went to play in the early evening. But just after we arrived I saw a flash of movement across the football field. I saw a deer, then two, then four, then five. We agreed to cross over to them, quietly and slowly so [...]

Fiona has outgrown some of her hats from years past and I’m not sure she’s really ready for a scarf so I decided to make her a scoodie! I really love the tutorials on that site, especially since the projects are largely things I can see us actually using. Also, there are lots [...]

We visited the horses first

And then the playground.

At first Fiona was nervous of [...]

Superheros visit the animal sanctuary.

During the not-Memorial Day weekend, when Liam had his bonus day off, we all went to Tyler one afternoon.

We went “fishing” in the pond.

Saw some wildlife.

Wandered.

Got lost.

And found our way back home.

Fiona and I went to the Lion’s club egg hunt on Saturday. It was lots of fun. Fiona picked up tons of eggs.

After she filled her basket we explored the pond at the bottom of the park. She lasted until about 3/4 of the way around and I had to [...]

We had beautiful weather here on Thursday, so Fiona and I took a nice long walk to town. Right now she very much wants to “walk myself” meaning, without holding my hand. It works out alright, except when we have to cross streets. It does give her lots of time to find [...]
