Yesterday we sure did a lot! Patty, Kathy and us went to the Rochester Farmers Market and picked up some more meat and then headed to Avocados for a nice lunch before Patty hit the road. Xavier and I then went for a sleepy time drive and drove through the parking lot at the local VW dealer and spotted a nice new R32 while Oskar worked on Times Attack, a multiplication memorization game he’s enjoying these days. After X finally crashed, Oskar and I worked on bottling the homebrew. It’s smelled amazing and after getting primed with a little light malt tasted pretty good too. Just 4 more weeks of bottle conditioning and I can try some! After that it was time to wake up Xavier and the boys played nicely for about an hour. Gretchen still had more Montessori work to do so we headed to the RAC for Pizza and some play time. We ended up spending nearly 3 hours there climbing, running and having a good time. It was time for bed when we got home and despite not wanting to sleep, even Xavier was asleep by 8:45pm.

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008Snow Play & Block Party
Sunday, February 24th, 2008
Today was a nice warm day, 35 degrees! Oskar, Xavier and I spent some time outside playing in the snow. Oskar really wanted to make 4 ball snowman last time but, the snow wouldn’t stick so well. Today we were able to make something quite a bit larger! Xavier hung out inside with Nancy and Mom while Oskar and I did the heavy lifting. We spent much of our time after this just having fun outside in the snow. I did some more shoveling to scrape down more of the driveway and sidewalk and the kids just threw snow at each other, tress, and other snow. It was a nice afternoon.
We concluded today with a trip to the RAC (Rochester Athletic Club) where they have a really cool kids area. Today happened to be the block party and Xavier had a grand time going up the inflatable slide with Oskar. Xavier did really well with following instructions, waiting in line until he was permitted to go up the slide and coming down quickly afterwards. He siad it was a little bit fun and a little bit scary to slide down - but you would have never guessed as he streamed into the line over and over and over and over and over and… Oskar worked on his mini golf game and enjoyed sliding himself. He also had a great time playing on the giant play structure with X. Xavier was so exhausted after today he didn’t even finish his bottle before falling asleep. Pictures from both events (although the RAC photos are terrible) below. (more…)
