Roca Berry Farm

Since I had off today and Carson's preschool was closed, the two of us went out to the Roca Berry Farm for the morning.  It was a bit muddy and cold, but he had a great time.

Building a Fire Truck

A friend of mine told me about these free workshops at Lowes and Home Depot where kids get to build things.  A few weeks ago, she called me up and asked if Carson wanted to join her boys to make a fire truck over at Lowes. 

 

He was quite proud of the truck.

 

His partners in crime--Max and Oscar.

 

They got to keep the aprons and goggles too.  Plus, they got a patch that I will iron on to his apron to mark his accomplishment!

First Day of Preschool

Carson has been going to preschool twice a week for a few hours.  He absolutely loves it.  He has a friend from his daycare that goes with him, so that was great. 

Getting Ready for Preschool

Tomorrow is Open House for Carson's preschool.  I'll pick him up from daycare, go to Open House, then head back to work.  He's been so excited to go for a while now.  Yesterday, he put on his backpack and was doing letters so he would be ready!

Playing in the Sprinkles

Chris built this sprinkler contraption for Carson to run in.  Since he can't play in a swimming pool unless is cleaned all of the time and has chlorine, this is the next best thing.

Zoo Fun

Carson and I went with Ashley a couple of weeks ago to the Omaha Zoo.  He loved it except for the  T-Rex...

This week we went to the Lincoln Zoo--not as cool, but he still had a good time.
