brotherly love

 Dan and Liam fight like all brothers do but every now and then they have moments that remind me that they love each other.

outside time

The weather is beautiful in Maine right now. I'm loving it and I've made it a goal to be inside and home only when we have to be. We're taking full advantage of being able to be outside. This means we make lots of trips to the park.

Flour

We've been learning about food during school for the last couple weeks. We've learned where it comes from and how to grow different things. One of our lessons was to bake bread. So we read the Little Red Hen and learned about wheat and where we get flour to make bread. Daniel and I made bread in a bag. It was a pretty easy recipe and it was my first time making bread from scratch without a bread maker. Dan actually did a lot of the work though :) The bread turned out to be very yummy!

The other part of the lesson said to do a sensory activity and let the child play with flour. The lesson said to just put a towel out but I figured since it was sunny and 80 degrees outside the day we did this lesson that the boys could just go outside and play with flour and make a mess and I wouldn't have to worry about the mess. The boys had so much fun! They loved making themselves into ghosts. The only downside was that it took forever to get them clean but they had fun and thats what matters :)

Daniel's haircut

Daniel got a haircut but that's not the exciting part. The exciting part is that Daniel didn't cry during the haircut. He normally cries and screams during a haircut but he was happy to do it this time.

Fort Williams

We explored another fun place in Maine over the weekend. We went to Fort Williams park to see the Portland Headlight. We couldn't visit the headlight because its only open in the summer but we probably won't cause when the park is in operation it costs a lot to go. We had fun going to see it though and playing on the beach. The boys loved throwing rocks in the water. We just had to put them on opposite sides of the beach haha

We also found a swing set and let the boys swing while staring at the ocean...not a bad view. The fort was cool to see too. I love the view of the ocean and I could've just sat and stared at the ocean for hours. We live in a beautiful place!
