Tuesday

Ben started the day eating a brownie. We talked about smart choices for breakfast. I don't blame him though ...no one else was awake!

He built with Zoob building different structures and animals.

All 3 children played with cars and trucks for a while.

They watched SuperWhy.

We went to the library. Ben is asking lots of questions about volcanoes, earthquakes and the solar system. We got Ben and Hannah library cards and they are feeling good about that. They have their own cards and can check out their own books. We used the computer to find out where the books we wanted were kept and found some. We read some books in the library The Louds Move In, Click Clack Moo and another. They really enjoyed those books and borrowed them too. So we came home with a load of books that we are going to read! They did great today, hopefully this is the start of good library times.

At home we read about earthquakes and volcanoes. I even showed them some volcanic rocks that we have in the backyard. Ben is worried about volcanoes and earthquakes because it is unknown. We got some great books for him today so hopefully he'll be prepared for when we go and visit some of the areas this summer (San Francisco, Lassen National Park...)

We went to the park with some friends and Ben really wanted to know about what to do if there was an earthquake. He's very concerned.
