A few weeks back, I used an idea of Amanda's, that she used with her kindergarten students last year and it was a hit with Jack! I got out a pan and poured some lime jello powder into it and showed him how to draw shapes and stuff in the powder. He really enjoyed it! Especially when he figured out he could taste the powder and it was sweet! He ended up with a really green mouth and hands, but it was fun!
We also made a trek out to the Weston state park to walk their 3 mile trail. Jack rode a little bit in his stroller, but mostly he walked with us. He loved it! He also came extrememly close to picking up a snake that made its way onto the trail. It sort of freaked me out! EEK! Fortunately, Kevin saw the snake right before Jack reached down. Then it slithered off. I wasn't sure what kind it was, but it didn't look like a typical garden snake. Ick!
One of the days that Kevin and all the other teachers were back at school in meetings and band camp, I helped out the band teacher and babysat for his little guy this week. Carter is 9 months old and was so cute! Jack was a touch jealous at first, but quickly warmed up to the idea of having a buddy to play with that day. Jack would "tell" Carter about things, it was cute! They had fun and so did I!

I like the new look! And, oooh, that jell-o trick looks like so much fun - I'll have to try that with Lawson. :-)
