Friday Favorites

- Playdates -

We've had a pretty full week of hanging out with buddies.  I happened to catch one exciting lunch where we were making sure no one fell off the bench.  This day also happened to contain lots of outdoor fun and dirt.  Lots of dirt.

-PAT Book -It-

 PAT stands for Parents as Teachers and if your school has one, I highly suggest it.  Joplin has had some really great events for kids and parents.  This months involved this Book Event.  The Joplin Library was even there giving out free hard back books to ALL the kids.  We came home with three new exciting books.  Lots of entertainment followed.

-Beautiful Weather-

 68 degrees.  That saved us this last week.  The boys were outside large amounts of the day and then we were all able to get out as a family on Friday.

 These guys were riding, running and rolling down this little hill, respectively.  It was rather hilarious.

 After being trapped in the stroller for most of the ride, he loved breaking free and taking the bridge all on his own.

 -Baby Bump-

 Conrad keeps cooking away in there.  This is my first actual bump picture.  So, he's documented at 25 1/2 weeks here.  We are both just trekking along.  Still not big enough to be too bothered and his little movements are just sweet.  The fun is yet to come.

-School-

I snapped a quick picture of these two during our "school time" this week.  Not pictured are all the other kiddos running around behind us having a blast.  We look forward to it every week.

After the big wind on Tuesday, a tree fell down across the street from us.  We were all pretty entertained while they quickly chopped it up and sent it through a shredder and then blew it back into the ditch.  Who knew?

We've been talking about treasures this week and also money.  Yesterday, we broke out our foreign coins and bills.  After looking at American coins all week, they had fun picking up on all the differences.  Also, we are still working on proper use of the magnifying glass.  It's just more fun this way.
