2009_02_27 Friday

Gosh was I motivated today! Of course, Jonathan woke up after 10am! Boy, that boy can sleep!

Once we got moving, I picked up a Freecycle box. Ironically, it was from a woman I went to college with! We weren't friends, but we had friends in common. What a small world!

Then, we headed up to our county Educational Center. It was awesome. It was a huge forest and nature conservancy. They are also tied in with the master gardeners and the 4-H club. The Center had some live animals (turtles, fish, etc) and lots of touch-me items from nature (skulls, feathers, shells, cones, etc). They have tons of classes, even for Jonathan's age. I got lots of flyers and am on some mailing list now. I can't wait. They have kiddy yoga that I'll consider, but better yet, an actual nature class that meets on Wednesday mornings (10am). I'm nearly certain we'll do that...assuming he won't sleep through it. They apparently have a story, do a craft, and have a walk in the woods. It sounded really neat.

We took a short-ish walk as well. It was beautiful. I took a few pictures. Jonathan found a tree with a "tunnel" so he peeked in, only to tip over and scratch his head up nicely. Awesome. lots of tears. We walked on and found a big stream, and he pointed out three ducks. They had a bat display, so he learned "bat." Then we walked back to the center. The docent there gave him a coloring book that he was super excited about.

So, now we're back home and he's napping. I expect him to be down for a few hours. We'll see.

So, I've figured out why I can't upload any photos to this blog; somehow it's linked to our Picasa photo album, which is full. So I can't upload new photos, even if I haven't uploaded them to Picasa! UGH. what a headache. Gotta get Dave to figure this one out. In the meantime, I'm switching to photobucket.com; will blast out some pix as soon as they're uploaded (and add the url to the right). I think the new site is:
