We made a quick trip up to Indiana for a surprise birthday party for my sister.
Story time on Grandma’s lap.
My family did cake and presents with my little man since we were up so close to his birthday.
His last day as a three year old.

Little Man Birthday Week ~day2

Just like his older brother my little guy lives in rain boots.
People think they are preparing for rain but I think they have forgotten that that is what they are for.
They just know they are easy to get on.
Little man Birthday Week ~day 1
January 17th, 2012
I have been trying the last couple birthdays to start a new tradition of a picture a day leading up to my two little boy’s birthday’s.
Almost every morning my youngest gets up before his brother and we cuddle for a little bit then I give him his breakfast.
As much as I would love the extra time to myself if he slept in like his brother, I really would not trade all of those precious moments with just the two of us.
Here are a couple of his pics from last year.
My days
January 17th, 2012
My days have been filled with looking at my oldest mohawk, it always makes me smile.
He will only let me spike it in private though.
Hoping for more snow.
This has long since melted.
Watching Captain America battle dinosaurs.
Don’t worry the dino got even.
Listening to the sounds of a gator.
They would be in it all day if I let them.
Hearing the sounds of building going on in our garage.
My husband is in the midst of building himself a band saw.
Because the garage is attacted to the house we have a constant layer of dust on the floors from all the wood cutting.
I was going to do individual posts on all of these but kept putting it off.
So you get it all at once!
I am lazy like that…
My own model

Sometimes the light is beautiful and I am the only model that will sit still.

“How to Build a Rocket”
January 9th, 2012On a whim (the place from which all good things come) I got the book “How to Build a Rocket” by Hazel Richardson from our local library.
I love it!
It is not just about how to build a rocket, it has a lot of information about the moon and experiments to go along with the lessons.
I am seriously considering buying this one.
The first thing it had us do was go in a dark room with a flashlight and a tennis ball (or baseball).
You have your child hold the ball out in front of them and shine the light on the ball.
This helps them understand why there are different phases of the moon.
It also helped mine remember that the moon was just reflecting light from the sun.
“He’s got the whole moon in his hands, he’s got the whole moon in his hands…”
I am odd.
Next we took a ball and string and then spun around while holding it.
This demonstrated the earth’s gravitational pull and it’s effect on the moon.
School is just so much work.
Watch out here comes the moon!
We are only a couple chapters in.
This book definitely gets my vote though!
