To boldly go where no man has gone before...

 



There aren't many pictures to show for our day today but that's mostly because we stayed so busy! It was the last day of space day but as the week closes we tend to do less as we prepare for the week ahead. Fridays are our day to clean up the loft where we spend most of our time during the week and we wiped everything down, swept and got all our supplies from the week put back where they belong. We did a few space worksheets and Evie had a ton of fun using her sensory bin for her Barbies today. 



It was also library day so we went and turned in our books and got some new ones to enjoy. This week we also picked up Chutes and Ladders. I haven't played that game in years and it always reminds me of my sister because she loved it when we were kids so I can't wait to see how Evie likes it. After the library we did some running around to find ink for our printer. It wasn't a successful hunt but we had a lot of fun anyway. We got some dinner and picked up a Pie in the Face game which Evie LOVED. I'm always on the hunt for games we can play together and it was definitely time for a new one. Maybe next time one that's less messy though. 😂  Stay tuned to see what shenanigans we get into next week!

Ice, Ice Baby...

    This week along with weather we've been talking about climates and how we are all adapted and suited for where we live. Today we switched up our sensory table for a snowy, icy, arctic one. I wasn't sure how Evie would like this one because while she loves water play she does NOT like to be sticky or slimy. The snow (which is fake snow made from powder ) isn't cold at all but it gets sort of gel like when you mix the two.  She had fun balancing the animals on the ice and digging them into the snow for awhile and then she cautiously asked if she could mix the snow and water. When I told her of course she can she was ecstatic. She found that adding snow to water caused the snow to "melt" and adding the water to the snow melted it down into gelatinous pools of blue "ice".  After lunchtime we took this one outside and she played with it for HOURS. Tossing the snow, making "food" out of the mixed snow and ice and pretending her Chelsea doll was o...

The Silver Line to Salem...

  It's the first full day of vacation and we got up early this morning and in true east coast style grabbed some Dunkin' Donuts to eat while we headed for the train. Our apartment is a short walk to the bus (or train if we choose) and then right onto the T which is nice but we still ended up walking almost 7 miles today and Evie did about three of them like a champ! The rest she needed a lift for. lol... After a short train ride we took a scenic walk across the Charles River and then it was onto the Museum of Science. Although this is my fifth or sixth time in Boston in recent years I have never done the Museum of Science and it looked really exciting. While we were there we got to play with electricity, robotics, weather, mirrors and lights and a ton more. Evie really liked this interactive station where she could try to guess what the animals were based on their skulls and teeth. She did pretty well too!  We spent roughly four hours at the MOS and then we walked up to the tr...

Running up that hill...

  It was finally warm enough to go outside for awhile today! It's been very chilly in the mornings lately and while I can appreciate that it's no longer too hot to exist at 10AM I'm also not loving being cooped up inside all day. Evie isn't either. We were both in much better spirits today after being able to spend our lunch outside.  We made some chalk art, made up stories about the characters, and ran and played for awhile before it was time to get ready for the bus. Even then Evie was happy to race me down to the stop and ran around playing and singing while she waited for it to come. Fall is heavy upon us but we were both happy for a little sneak of summer today. :)
