Lately…

Here are a few things we’ve been up to lately…

We spent a wonderful afternoon hanging with Cousin Blake and Cole.  Those three boys are super cute together.  Blake and Corbin play well together while Cole just tags along and tries to keep up.

I was able to snap this picture of them all being still because we were watching a TV show before we headed out.

Do not underestimate the power of a book store.  We spent time at Barnes and Nobles looking at books and playing with the train set. 

They had this head cut out from one of my favorite picture books, The Day the Crayons Quit.  If you haven’t read it go check it out.  It’s super cute and you and your kids (of any age) will love it.  And let’s face it, if you’re child is anything like mine, we read the same book multiple times, so it’s nice to actually really like the book you’re reading.

On the bargain book shelf I spied a great book all about dinosaurs.  This is Corbin’s current favorite obsessions and since we didn’t have any dino books and it only cost $7 and I do LOVE books we ended our trip by buying a book. (Side note: I am aware that last sentence was entirely too long.  I intended for it to be that way…please do not edit that Chris)

Corbin and I are getting really spoiled on Fridays.  Chris has and will be taking several Fridays off until Thanksgiving.  He has vacation time and worked a ton on a project, so he’s taking some well deserved time to spend with us!

On Friday we headed to a local museum we had not been to before.  Although many of the exhibits were of little interest to Corbin (and really above his level ie WWII) we knew he would love the dinosaurs.

 

Apparently, the bear was far too life like and gave Corbin a bit of a fright.  Whew, thank goodness Daddy was there to protect us all

This is one happy cowboy.

The Revolutionary War “states” puzzle.  (Side Note: I know they were not states yet, just colonies but it sounded better that way.  Please do not edit Chris)

There was a kid’s area where Daddy and Corbin: built a train track, put on a puppet play (Daddy was a star…he could have a future in puppeteering…don’t edit that, and played Knights and King (obviously Corbin was the King).
