A Day at Home

The kids and I have been busy this week. Monday Gigi and Papa Fred came to visit so we went to lunch at Chick-Fil-A. Tuesday we went running random errands. One stop was to the laundromat. Joshua had two comforters I wanted to wash. It was definitely the first time the kids had been there. It was exciting for them.

Wednesday we went to the park with Joshua's playgroup and then had lunch with Buela. Also, we went to KidZone at church. A very busy day!

Thursday was Elizabeth's birthday so we took her and Ella to lunch at Central Market. Lots of fun and good food.

Today we stayed home. I finally ordered a book I had once cited on this blog titled, "Unplugged Play" by Bobbi Conner. It gives tons of ideas for playing with kids. The materials needed probably can be found lying around your home. Here the kids are doing idea #131-Wash the Babies or the Cars. I didn't have plastic baby dolls, but we do have cars. I would have done this outside, but it is dreary here. I gave the kids a bowl of soapy water, a wash cloth, and cars. They enjoyed washing, especially Joshua. The floor did get very wet, but I kept a towel nearby.

After that I decided to have them help me clean out the fish bowl. Joshua does a good job of transferring the fish. Tabitha likes to watch them.

We also went for a walk and played for a short time in the backyard. It was good. Now they are napping from all the excitement of the day. Have a great weekend!
