Donut Wednesday

We had a nice Donut Wednesday together.  

Oliver took some good pictures, while Mommy
waited in a long line:








Oliver pointed out the boy statue...
(Not sure what is going on with him.)



Mommy forgot to take a cute picture of Oliver at
the tables so she took one in the car!  Smile Oliver,
we are going camping this weekend!

Oliver is off with his Daddy now.  Mommy will see Oliver Saturday morning in Lakeside at Lake Jennings campground for cub scout camping!  Oliver is pretty excited!  So is Mommy!

Learning

We both had a day of learning.  

Mommy got to shadow a librarian at
the UCSD Geisel Library!  She wanted
to share the "spaceship" library with Oliver!

This new art piece was also pretty impressive!  
Mommy is going to take Oliver to see the home!

And, these are Dr. Seuss's or Theodore Geisel's
actual drafts of a book!  The UCSD special 
collections library has many, many pieces of
Dr. Seuss's art and writing in their special library.

Mommy had a little writer and artist 
waiting for her at the Boys and Girls Club!


Mommy pointed out both of these posters to Oliver.
(They are important.)


Oliver liked going through Mommy's gift bag.
She told him he could go there when he is older.
He said he wants to go somewhere a little farther away.
Mommy is glad he is a goal setter.

Highlights from Today

We had big plans for today.  We were going to go to the Earth Day Fair at Balboa Park, have fun, learn a lot, and wear our matching shirts.  But we decided last night that we were going to celebrate Earth Day by being earthly home bodies instead.  



Oliver made some lemonade with lemons from 
our trees.

Mommy told him to get a coaster for his
cup, he was drinking it in the Bernadette
room.  He brought in a "coaster."  



Mommy really wanted to get dirty in 
our yard, but....

she has a research paper due in 2 weeks.
Boy Scout Camping next weekend too!
So, Mommy needs to get writing!


Even though our sunflower patch is whispering
her name, calling for help.  Some pest ate most
of the seeds she planted 2 weeks ago, Mommy
told the pest to stop.  (The pest doesn't listen.)


Earthly Home Bodies!  We still wore our shirts!


The neighborhood kid club played for
a long time today.  They did a good
job of cleaning up there junk.

Mommy does not like when they leave stuff 
everywhere.  They cleaned up a lot and
we talked about how to keep our 
yard pretty and safe.  Just like we need
to do our best to keep Planet Earth pretty
and safe.


Oliver will be off with his Daddy and Scout tomorrow after school.  Mommy has a big meeting on Tuesday!  Mommy will miss Oliver and hopes he gets a lot of his homework done tomorrow night!

Oliver still dreams of being an Eagle Scout!
Mommy will do her best to help get him
to all his activities, be part of a team, and
learn valuable lessons that are a normal
part of life.  

Tired from a long scout afternoon!
