Preschool Dress-Up Days

There have been several dress up days for preschool, and Bryce really gets into dressing up. He also loves to pose for me in front of the fireplace, I love it!

                                                                   Disney Day

                                                                    Farmer Day

 On Farmer day, the FFA kids had their annual petting zoo so Blaine, Lyla, and I picked up Bryce from school and made a trip over to the petting zoo. The kids loved it, of course. They had a horse, a cow, a donkey, two pigs, one puppy, one rabbit, four chickens, and two goats.

Trip to Chicago

This past Saturday, we made a little trip to Chicago to Navy Pier to the Children's Museum. We stayed in a hotel in Bollingbrook where we got to enjoy the pool! We left Saturday morning and came back home Sunday afternoon. We bought Cubs tickets for mom and dad for Christmas for a game in July from one of Shane's friends in Gardner, so we made a stop at our old stomping ground on the way home on Sunday to pick them up. It was a fun little "vacation" as Bryce calls it.

 Quick stop at McDonalds before we went to the museum. They were so excited!

 The first room you came to was a big pet room and the boys loved it! They came back to this room several times!

            Next was the fire station and that was a favorite too!

 I'm pretty sure the water room was Blaine's favorite and he got soaked!

 Ever since starting preschool, Bryce has been very interested in dinosaurs. This was the main reason we took this trip. We talked about going to the Field Museum but we thought he is still too small for that. Maybe in a few years. I remembered from before that this museum had a dinosaur room where they could dig up bones, and it even had a life size T-Rex skull!

 The boys were so good and they had so much fun. We went to each area in the museum at least twice!

 There was a little boy who set up these cones, and then Blaine would pick each one up and stack them

                                   We had such a fun family "vacation."

Silly Boys and Warm Weather

Shane was working on a project for a friend and ending up changing his plans so we ended up with this cute little bench that the boys love to sit on and play with. It is the perfect place for them to sit and take cute pictures for mommy!

 They have so much fun playing in our basement playroom. And of course little brother always has to do what big brother does!

A few weeks ago when it was finally nice out, we got to take the tractor outside! It has been nice to finally get it out of the house (it has been in there since Christmas). Bryce just loves driving it around our huge yard and even used it to help me pick up sticks.
