Our weather is weird. I spent a good part of my youth in a climate that stayed at basically 80 degrees year round. Now I live in weird. One weekend it’s single digits and 8 inches of snow. Then there was this weekend. Temperatures in the 60s and sunny. Again weird. However with a boy [...]

Super A is pretty good about helping us with chores. One of my favorite things that he does is push the laundry from the laundry room into the living room so we can fold it. I realized I had never taken a picture of him doing that, so I grabbed my camera and took a [...]

It always makes me wonder how things become a routine at our house. We have certain routines, but Super A also creates routines of his own. Every morning Super A has orange juice while I have my coffee and we play freight trains. After Super A’s nap he wants a snack and one episode of [...]

This week we are discussing different colors and going beyond just the basic hues. We also discussed value and intensity, by mixing red and white to make pink and looking at how gray affects different colors. I did a Valentine craft with Super A to talk about how red and white makes pink which I [...]
