Filed under: Kids,Parker — Jessi @ 10:11 PM

We got a fun new book to help mommy come up with “boy projects” (Mini Weapons of Mass Destruction).  Parker was pleased with our first attempt – a catapult.  Yes, he is in his underwear – actually several pairs of underwear – I have no idea why.  Ammo of choice: mini-marshmallows (you can see one launching if you look closely).

Parker and Steve built a birdhouse out of a single board today.  No small feet for Mr. Computer Man.  They did a great job!

We visited the Birds of Prey Center today.  Parker loved learning about the different way the wings moved through the air.

Parker’s favorite parts: the bird presentation and dressing up like an eagle!

 

Goo February 17, 2011

Filed under: Kids,Parker — Jessi @ 9:53 PM

I read an article today regarding how to raise boys.  There was some mention of all things gross & slimy…so we made goo.  I’m not sure what the actual name for it is…just cornstarch and water.  Gigantic mess…lots of fun.

 

Some Love For the Birds February 14, 2011

We made valentines for the birds today with peanut butter and seeds.  Not sure any birds got any, but the squirrels loved it!  We could see all of their little teeth marks after they scraped it clean.

The boys had fun playing with chocolate playdough today.  Here they are pretending to make a box of chocolates – it was very serious business.
