parks and preschool


We haven't been up to much lately besides enjoying the beautiful weather. We only have a few more parks left on our list. We did go to my Aunt's last Sunday to celebrate my Grandma's 80th birthday (all 6 kids, spouses, 18 grandchildren, and 9 great-grandchildren made it for the party- pretty amazing!). The weather was not beautiful, but the kids still had fun running around outside and playing with their cousins.
Eli is still really enjoying preschool. He comes home with new information everyday.
*my favorite conversation this week*
Eli: On Alvin and the Chipmunks Dave talks to people for his job. He doesn't talk on the phone and look at his computer like Daddy.
Me: People do all sorts of different things for their jobs: like Erin is a teacher. She helps kids learn.
Eli: What does Jen do?
Me: She sticks people with needles to take their blood.
Eli: Ouch, what does Craig do?
Me: he sells insurance to people to help them pay for their doctor's visits.
Eli: how about Brent?
Me: he sells insurance too.
This went on for quite a while since he was stalling on his way to bed. Finally he said, "and what does Luke's Dad do?? "
Me: He sells stuff too, but I'm not sure what he sells.
Eli: Maybe bananas!
