My oldest built this during naptime and while it may seem simple it isn’t;). This is a ship. The yellow bolts sticking out are guns (saw that coming) but it is the inside details that got me. There are little spigots for hot and cold water , a shelf for storage and odd looking seats. I just love how he thought of tiny details. So cute!
We just went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium for a field trip! Did you know that they have free field trips for homeschoolers?
A whole bunch of us went together (even though we aren’t an official group) and had a ball. It was my first time going too!
Here is another fun picture from our big fair trip! They had these huge bubble set ups! So fun!
This is the ferris wheel that my brave NerdPie and Nerdster went on with NerdDad this weekend. The oldest Nerdling and I weenied out and watched from the bottom with NerdPud. We had a ball at the fair! Thanks Chevy!
(Part of Wordless Wednesday and Say Cheese!)
I went and visited my dad this weekend outside of San Antonio and there are deer everywhere. But they aren’t the giant ones I think about, they are kind of little and so cute! I even saw some wagging their tales as they ran! All I could think about every time I saw them was the Psalm the has “as the deer panteth for the water, so my soul longeth after thee” (yes, that is King James). There was a song I love with that!
Check that wallet chain! I noticed that my friend’s son had this big chain hanging out of his pocket so I had to ask why. He said it was to show all the guys who wear wallet chains how dumb they look. It is all about 1 man’s rebellion;).
So I am uber boring but I want to break out;). So I saw this super cute flower for only $1 at Claire’s and I figured if I never got up the guts to wear it I could always give it to NerdPie. But I wore it today! My girlie side has been jumping out all over lately;). I haven’t worn a flower in my hair since 4th grade and they were on my bobby pins. So what do you think? Too much?
The mommy fail isn’t just that the car is dirty;). My 3 year old is wearing 2 shoes for the same shoe;). We have 2 pairs of old sandals that are only 1/2 size apart. I didn’t realize that she wasn’t wearing a matching pair of shoes until we arrived at the birthday party we were going to. Smooth!
I have always thought the view from flying was majestic. I remember thinking as a kid that the area right above the clouds was were the angels played (couldn’t get a decent pic). I am overwhelmed by the beauty, the wonder and the screaming that the earth makes to say there is a creator. It leaves me wordless;).
So this is how we spent the 4th! Friends, food and playing with my camera. Oh, and fireworks! How did you and yours spend the 4th?
