Seattle Aquarium

We have moved! As a result, blog posts have been on hold.
I'm trying to catch up super fast as the kids are preoccupied for a few seconds. (They actually just came in with packed bags announcing that they are going to the promised land, aka the dentist, for some reason.)

These pictures are of the Seattle Aquarium that we went to right before we moved because we had a Groupon that we had to use. We've been to better aquariums, but it served its purpose for a fun day with family and friends!

Emma posed here for quite a while. I had to peel her off.

Rainforest Month

So, somewhere amongst my frustration (smile) I did come up with a new strategy for afternoon activities. [And I want to say thank you for all the comments regarding the "Un-Super Mom." It really helps me to stay sane if I make my good times and bad times public knowledge.] Emma goes to preschool on M, W, & F, so that leaves only Tuesday and Thursday with the occasional free afternoon hours, generally from 12:30 -2, when there needs to be a planned activity. I decided to give each month of the rest of the year a theme, so when I need an activity I at least have a subject to research. This month I picked the rainforest. We learned about the different levels in the forest, the parts of the world where there is rainforest, and about a few of the animals that live there.
