Preschool At Home

Tuesdays and Thursdays are extra long days over here. Dylan doesn’t have preschool on those days, and he really misses it. To keep him on track and entertained too, we’ve been working on Preschool at home.

I make up worksheets for Dylan to practice writing his name and numbers too. We also read special books from the library. We have at home preschool when Agnes is taking her morning nap, she isn’t too patient when it comes to homework. Dylan has enjoyed the at home preschool so far, now I just need to come up with a few more quick and quiet activities that we can do.

Autumn Day At The Fort

Dylan didn’t have preschool yesterday, and he wanted to do something fun. We needed to stay in town with Thade in school, and one of Dylan’s very favorite local sites to visit is the Fort. Well we call it The Fort, it is really the Fort Scott National Historic Site. 0101

I like the Fort even better now that they have waived all admission fees.

012

It makes the historic Civil War site feel less like a museum, and more like a welcoming park.

015

We walk a different way every time we visit,

019

and Dylan loves to find something new.

0201

We’ll be visiting the Fort again soon, I can’t wait to see the leaves to turn their pretty autumn colors.

It is also great exercise for a busy preschooler, the walking trails are wonderful.

So what is one of your favorite local sites that you like to visit?

@ 23 Months

Agnes will be 2 years old in just one month. My goodness this year is flying by.

005

She loves to play in her room, she likes to dig out all of her toys, and then put them all away.

0024

She also loves to wear a different hat to breakfast everyday. Some days it is a sun hat, others a trucker hat.

0042

Her hair is getting longer, and curlier too.

0051

She loves her Panda pillow-pets, and this week she has learned to climb on everything.

Happy 23 months Miss Agnes.

Pioneer Harvest Fiesta 2011

This was the first year that we missed the tractor parade, well it’s the parade that kicks off the Pioneer Harvest Fiesta. I thought that since we missed the parade, maybe we should check out the event and see what it was all about.

There was an arts & crafts exhibit, food vendors, lots of interactive displays, and of course engines and tractors galore.

Dylan loved the wooden tractor display. We even met the gentleman that carved them all by hand.

057

This was one of the most unique tractors, and it had a loud train whistle.

058

Dylan just loves the John Deere tractors, they are his favorite color green.

062

Dylan just loves those tractors!

064

We stopped off for the most delicious homemade ice cream.

Agnes wasn’t so sure about all the tractors, but she was a trooper about it.

036

The Pioneer Harvest Fiesta was a lot of fun, I’m glad we spent the day enjoying the Autumn weather.

Soccer Take Two

This weekend the weather is so much better, and we had games on Saturday and make up games on Sunday too. The kids had a lot of fun, and it was great to spend the day out in the pretty Fall weather.
