Pretend Play

Wednesdays are our only day without a regularly scheduled activity so I am using them as a fun activity day. Today I took the boys to Explore and More Children's museum for lots of pretend play.

Big Sandbox

We found another new to us park today and the boys loved that it had a big sand box with lots of trucks to play with.

Painting the Driveway

Logan loves making sidewalk paint. Just mix equal parts cornstarch and water and add some food color.

Corny Kids

After Logan's Blast ball we went to check out a Scarecrow village at a nearby farm market.

They had animals to pet

Corn to play with

Hay maze

Later we went to visit Grammy and went to a pumpkin farm that also had things for the kids to play with. This corn table is one of their favorite things.

Then we helped Grammy harvest some veggies in their garden.

Blast Ball

Yesterday was Logan's first day of blast ball. What is blast ball you may be wondering. Blast ball is basically tee ball for kids 3-5. They use bigger foam balls, 1st and 3rd bases honk and the coaches use very preschooler friendly coaching methods. For example they teach the kids to catch the ball by pretending to be an alligator. Logan was easily the biggest kid in his class and Ethan was bigger then many of the kids there. Ethan isn't old enough to be signed up but he went to cheer his brother on and he helped catch balls too. Sorry for the blurry shots its hard to get them to stay still for pictures while playing a sport,

Busy Boys

Logan's preschool, story time, gym class- the Boys and I have been keeping busy! Here is just some of what we did yesterday:

Ethan and I found a new to us park near Logan's preschool - Bassett park. Ethan was a little better about leaving Logan at preschool yesterday but still got upset.


After Preschool we met Liam, Keira and Aunt Megan at a Ellicott Creek park.







Logan and I set up a bubble table- we added a bunch of dish soap to our water table and made a bunch of bubble wands out of pipe cleaners

We finished our toddler sized scarecrows.
