School Vacation Week!!

Chris and I both have a few days off during school vacation week and we have some fun plans too!

Day 1- Eric Carle Museum, Dr. Seuss Sculpture Park and the Ellen Show!

We traveled out west- to Amherst and Springfield.  The boys loved the Eric Carle Museum when we visited last spring.  Everything is so hands on for them- the Art studio (the day’s activity was print making), playing the library, scavenger hunt in the Gallery- perfect for them!  It is big, beautiful and full of light!

Since it was the closest we would be to Springfield, we took the quick trip to the Dr. Seuss Sculpture park in the Springfield Museums.  The park was beautiful! (going to save the museums for when the boys are a bit older).  We saw characters from all our favorite stories!  Brendan LOVED the girl from Cat in the Hat.

Later Aidan and I decided that since Jennie was in Mexico, we should go the Ellen event in Brighton (so close to her house!!!).  You had to bring three items- something beginning with C, V and S.  Aidan brought his cap, vegetables and Sunggie!  It was so fun seeing everyone’s creativity!  Not sure that Aidan will be on TV but is was quite the experience!

Brendan’s imagination

As “terrible” as the twos are said to be- I really love this age.  Brendan has so many stories to tell and has such an imagination.  He loves to name all his little people.  The first thing he does when drawing a person is ask “what her name?”  He loves his dress up box and loves playing in his kitchen!

He has so many words and funny expressions now too!  Changing his voice gives us all a good laugh!
