Will it ever rain?



Going into the umpteenth week of no rain and 100 degrees we have spent the month of August indoors exploring all the museums. We usually recruit Grandad for the trip since he is usually a sucker for pushing around the stroller. We have been to the Children's museum where we like to do crafts such as paint and build paper flying things. This week we went to the Butterfly Museum and discovered that 2,000 butterflies is kinda scary so we ditched that early and headed over to the zoo. There we fed giraffes and watched the new baby elephants take a mud bath.
On August 29th we started our first day of pre-K. We decided to split the boys up and give them a chance to learn independently. Aron is with the 3-year olds and is being challenged with the more advanced group. Aden is now the oldest in his class and is ruling the roost. He is showing the most improvement with the separation. I never realized how much he let Aron talk for him. His teacher actually asked us if he was the talkative one. Well, he is now.
