Labor day fun

You'll have to bare with me, my writting isn't that great but I've always wanted to start a blog.  So here it goes!  I'll share little tid bits of our daily lives and what new things our little boy is up to.  I teach a Bible class to a group of 3 and 4 year olds as well as Sunday school to 2 and 3 year olds.  I'll share with you what we do in class from the games we play to the art projects we make.   I'm hoping that this will help others who teach preschoolers.  There are lots of great sites out there that give information on lessons and crafts. But sometimes I wonder if they have ever taught to preschoolers.  Some of the activities and crafts are way to complicated for this age.  I'll share how I did things and whether or not they worked.

So here goes nothing...

Our little Liam had a great  night sleep last night!  Eight hours!  Our little boy is growing so fast!  But mommy and daddy love the idea of getting a full nights sleep again.

We decided to do a little geocaching today so we loaded the gps with stroller friendly caches, packed a few extra bottles for the baby and headed out.  But before we could even think about hiking we needed to grab lunch.  Firehouse subs sent us a coupon for a free medium sub for Labor day.  I love their steamers!  It turns out all of the caches loaded in the gps were park and grabs.  We decided to take a chance and headed out to stumpy lake.  The paths were littered with debri from the recent hurricane. It made for hiking in flip flops a bit challenging.  Because we chose stroller accesable caches to begin with we didn't bring any tennis shoes.  Needless to say we decided not to push the stroller.  I used the mobby wrap.  I love it!  I have a bjorn carrier but it hurts my back.  I did a little research and came across the moby wrap.  I'm still getting use to putting it on but practice makes perfect right?

We didn't have any luck on the trail, we will have to go back when we have the propper footwear.  We decided to grab one near the road before heading out.  It was a pretty easy matchstick container by the lake.  Beware of the poison ivy!  My husband insists he has it, he says his ankles itch already.  We marked that one off our list and headed to walmart.  I know, not very smart on Labor day but it really wasn't as busy as I expected it to be.  Grabbed broccoli, cheese and a spark plug for the lawn mower and headed home.  While I  made broccoli salad my husband attempted to mow the knee high grass.  He got about two thrids of it done before the lawn mower died.  We had dinner at my husbands sister's for her husbands birthday.
It was bath night for the little booger!  I was so proud of him he didn;t cry once while in the bath, he usually does not like his hair washed.  He did however cry when he got out.  Here is hoping for another eight hours tonight!
