Another week

We're off to another busy week.  Jacoby had a bone scan this morning, so that should be the end of our medical appointments, with the exception of some fresh food allergy testing in a week or so.  The boys get to go to the Boulder Reservoir for swimming on Wednesday with Morgan's preschool friends.  They went to the recycling center a few weeks ago and had a great time.

Justin finished up his class and is finally enjoying a bit of down time.  He's gearing up for dissertation writing and reading.  He's riding the bus to work now, which gives him quite a bit of time to read and also saves us a bucket load on gas money. We're looking forward to spending Father's Day weekend with Grandmanette and Grandpa Michael.

The boys are busy!  I converted our downstairs hall closet into an art center, all under the assumption that these two are old enough to have markers and scissors within reach and won't destroy the house.  I think it's working out pretty well--today they apparently spent the whole day playing "school".  They were the principals disciplining kids who were misbehaving.  Not that any of my kids have experience with that...ahem.  (:

Jacoby is reading his way through the Mercy Watson chapter books.  We're just about finished with book two, and Morgan brought him books three and four home from the library tonight.  They're really good books for his level and we're all enjoying having him read to us.

We have lots of things growing and blooming in our garden and yard right now.  I'll have to get some pictures posted.  I love being out in the yard.  Tomorrow the lawn is getting aerated in an attempt to help it recover from some neglect.  I had hoped it would make a come-back this spring, but such is not the case so we talked to some experts at our local nursery for some advice.  We're crossing our fingers this helps!

My yard sale went well last weekend and I got rid of plenty of stuff.  The thrift store comes and picks up the rest in a few weeks.  We visited the Longmont museum on Sunday and enjoyed the new Lego exhibit.

Here are a few pics.  Enjoy the week!

 One of my favorite Lego displays

 The boys really liked this excavation model

 I love this picture of my second child.  He's on his tippy toes joining in with all of the big boys so he could race his Duplo car down the track along with all of their serious Lego vehicles.

 It took around 66,000 Legos to build this

After getting stuck at Lowes with Mommy again, Momo got to spend some time on the tractors.

Here are the boys in front of the giant Legos outside of the museum.  It was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon!
