September

Lots of walks. The stroller stays at home now and the boys can walk over a mile before whining. The boys got new backpacks and loved them! It is really hard to find little kid sized backpacks that aren't plastered with characters so we gave in and let them get their beloved Thomas and Cars.


We spent a lot of time outside - a favorite outside activity is Moonsand.


We continued to work on our garden.


Our homeschool group had a bike day. We parked our vans and SUVs to block off the entrance to a sports field parking lot that isn't used during the day and the kids biked around and around.


We went on a field trip to Petco. The idea of the field trip was good but the store employee conducting the trip struggled to keep our gang engaged. At one point he was talking about some frogs or snakes in an aquarium and how it was their house. Zachary interrupted and said "it is their HABITAT". Rude little smartie pants.
