Spending the day with the PTA

We started the morning with our monthly GLECPTA meeting. We had an incredible speaker - Lynda Morley. It is awesome to speak with her about children because you can just hear the passion in her voice. I met her last year when Nicholas and I went to the Heritage Farmstead where she is in charge of the preschool educational series. After the meeting I just hung out near her so I could soak up all the knowledge she was sharing with other moms who were asking questions. I have her book, Outings and Adventures Everywhere! in which she describes how to plan outings for young children and includes suggestions for age appropriate activities that you can do on most outings like parks, museums, etc. Nicholas and I love outings and this book has been really great for inspiring me with fun activities outside of the normal outing.

While I was in the meeting, Nicholas worked on a snow craft project. After the meeting, many of the moms took the kiddos to McDonald's for lunch and playtime. Then a few of us went over to Rheudasil Park (aka the duck pond) for some more fun. We fed the ducks and played on the playground.

Nicholas and I then ran a few errands and headed back to the house. He played outside for a little while. I caught this picture of him as he was "dusting" his fort with a plume from our pampas grass. He loves to help me dust in the house with the Swiffer dusters so it only makes sense that he would want to take care of his own little house too. How cute!
