First Day

Ian had his first day of preschool today. Well, it is not really preschool. I am doing a co op with a few friends of mine so I only have to teach once a month and in exchange I get 2 hours of bliss once a week until it is my turn. That way preschool is practically free. Don't get me wrong, I love preschool but I think it is a waste for kids to go more than a year. They learn the same things anyways so I didn't want to pay twice for Ian to be bored the second year. He will go to real preschool next year and then start kindergarden the year after that. I feel like I am perfectly capable to teach Ian the fundamentals before he goes to preschool. Ian loves this situation though. When we got there he turned to me and said, "Bye Mommy." There was one kid who was not so keen on the idea... can you tell? His mom had to stay the whole time. I had 2 hours to play and clean and it felt weird to only have Quintin. This is going to be great. :)



I am not sure how I feel about you kids...


The problem is this family just moved into our ward so the other 3 boys have know each other for a year already.

Butterflies flutter by....

Today the boys and I headed up to Santa Barbara to the museum of natural history to go see the Butterflies Alive! exhibit. It was cool to be in a room full of butterflies flying every which way. We learned all about them and many even landed right on us!! Ian was a little wary of them landing on him but he thought overall it was neat. Quintin almost killed one but we got it away from him before he could finish it off. The curator said it was dying anyway, that is why it wasn't quick enough to get out of his way. Afterwards we had a lot of fun posing with the cutouts!!

Coolest Park Ever

There is a park located at Oxnard State Beach that we call Pirate Park. My kids love it and I just wanted to post how cool and beautiful this park is. The pictures are taken from my phone and don't do it justice. We frequent whenever we can but it has been busy this summer so we have been going less. If you get a chance, go there!

Swim/BBQ party

We celebrated the 1st day of August by having a swim BBQ party. We had so much fun and my boys can't get enough of being in a pool. It was hard to get them to leave. Enjoy the pics.
