Growing Everyday

If you are a mom of an elementary aged boy, you probably know what Bakugan are and you are probably wondering what if anything they have to do with a bunny. The answer nothing. I just wanted to write a post that combined the two.

Jared loves Bakugan. The kids on the bus are now trading them on the way back and forth to school. I never know what he will end up coming home with. I really think he enjoys trading them more than actually playing with them. I took the picture below about 2 weeks ago. Since then he has traded all of those and traded for them back again already…or at least similar ones.

And now the bunny. Beka made this outfit in church on Sunday. I think she looks adorable.

We took a family walk in the woods last weekend. Well, only sort of to the kids because the paths were paved and that doesn’t really count in their minds. I got some cute pictures of everyone and the kids and dog were tired afterwards.

Sometimes the things that are utterly boring at home can become exciting and entertaining again if you just do it somewhere else. Beka and Jared are getting bored with drawing and the playground. So I decided to take art stuff over to the playground trying to make it more exciting. It worked for about 30 minutes and that was totally worth it.

We have also taken some old games we used to play and added new twists to them. Andrew and Beka will play “follow the leader”. The change is Andrew will be on his ripstik and Beka will be on her bike. Andrew and I have taught the kids how to play four square. I had to google the rules to make sure I remembered how to play, but it was worth it.

It is a challenging some days to keep my little sponges engaged in something other than the TV, but we try.

Sorry, I have been completely gone from here. Jared had surgery on September 16th. And that kept me preoccupied for the beginning of the month. He is recovering fine and back to school already. He is doing wonderfully and wishes mom would stop harassing him about how he is feeling. I do know of two more posts that will happen this month. Then, I am going to make it my goal to start writing down/remembering more of the cute things the kids say so that I can have a record of them. Even if it slightly embarrasses them now, I think they will appreciate it when they are older. Like using the word “grossome” or how rhino poo is still soo funny to talk about three months after the visit to the zoo. In fact is school, Jared had to write a paper about something he did this summer. And that out of all the things we did is what he decided to write about. And now it is proudly hanging in the hallway at school.
