Preschool SeaWorld field trip day is always a hit. Especially with shark guns. The guns didn’t last more than a day without breaking, thank you SeaWorld gift shop. At least we were amused by flamingos and dolphin shows. And you can’t beat that view of Mission Bay and the Pacific…
It still amazes me that we can can sit outside and eat ice cream cones during the winter. Crew had an incentive program at preschool that we rewarded with an ice cream date every few months. Sometimes Finn got to tagalong too. “Wear a winter apparel item day” at preschool…
The weeks leading up to Christmas were filled with school parties, church parties, favorite things parties, a live nativity, dinners with friends and all of the typical pre-Christmas activities. The closer it got to Christmas, the more the germs started spreading. Crew almost missed his preschool performance and visit from…
I was scheduled to teach preschool co-op the week before Thanksgiving so naturally, we made turkey hats. Usually Crew is at school during Finn’s preschool but we switched the day that week so he got to join us too. Cutest little turkeys I ever did see.

Back to school was a little chaotic after dumping all of our furniture and boxes in our new house and then spending the two weeks before school started in Michigan. We had two days after we flew home to dig through boxes to find school supplies and purchase whatever else…
The end of the school year always feels like a mad dash to the end. There are so many performances, projects, field trips and parties to cram in. Blake’s big end of the year project was to make 50 items to sell at his class’s student store. Each student was…
I picked up Crew from preschool co-op one day and found him and all his friends dressed up as astronauts. Apparently it was space day. And in a group with five preschool boys, space day led to taking all of the cushions off the couch and flying through the air.
Our second annual field trip to the strawberry farm was highly anticipated. We loaded up on tractor-pulled wagons and knew just what to expect from last year. First came the distribution of all sorts of vegetables picked straight from the ground. Finn enjoyed some more than others and Crew wanted…
