Cal's Field Trip

I was able to go with Cal on his recent field trip to the Children's Museum.  I didn't even know that the near-by town had one!



The lesson segment of the field trip was on money--saving it and spending it (more or less). The kids each got to make a save box and a spend box.


Though the Children's Museum is quite small, they made great use of the space.  There are very fun, themed areas throughout.  AND I found out it's free the first Friday of every month!






Me with Cal's awesome teacher!


Yep you really can "milk" the cow.  Water comes out, ha ha.


We had a fun trip together. 


The boys love creating lego stuff.  They get the free Lego Club magazine and often there are advertized lego creation contests.  Here are their entries.  Now we just need to send in the photos!




I don't do too much creating of any sort myself, but every year the PTA has a pillow/basket auction at the school's spring carnival.  I volunteered to sew two pillow coverings.  A basket of goodies goes along with the corresponding pillow theme.


For some reason I didn't get quite as tight of fit on this pillow as the above sports one.  Oh well.  The tiger print is also on the back--you can see a smidgeon of it on the left.  The white fabric for the front of the pillow (and back if so desired) is a thin cotton.  Lee had the idea to line it with the tiger print fabric to give it some interest.  I thought it was a great idea so I went with it.


More posts to come; hopefully in the next few days!
