Monday we accomplished #8 from our list, "Go to the pool." Jack also accomplished #26 while we were there, "Go completely underwater at the pool."
Tuesday we did #12 , "Do a Science Experiment." It was called "Color Changing Liquids," and dealt with acids, bases, and neutrals. But, for a five and two year old, it was just fun to add powders and watch the colors change, and to guess what might happen when we added more of this or that ingredient, or mixed the cups of water together.
Wednesday we went to a new playground (#5). We chose Staley Park in Frederick. It is an awesome playground with a great combination of older and newer equipment, plenty of shade, and even sandboxes. The kids loved it (except when Jack got scared on the see-saws) and we definitely plan to return.
Thursday we did #46 , "Build a fort." Our supplies included our kitchen table, all the cushions from our couch and chair, several blankets and pillows, and some of our blue floor mats. The kitchen chairs were used as supports. It was actually a little bigger than it appears in the picture, I think.
We also had a dance party (#29 ), and played "What I like about..." (#50 ) Alexander stated that what he liked best about himself was how fast he could run.
Tonight the boys are doing something that maybe should have been on our list, but wasn't. They're having a "sleepover" together on the floor of Alexander's room.
So far the boys love choosing activities from our list, and I love that we're keeping active doing interesting things instead of doing the same old thing every day. It's really working for us! :)
In other news, Kai is still cute and fat.

Sounds like you're having fun. At this rate you'll need another list, or will need to go through it a second time. Hmmm, post a chart of the list and put a star on each item you do?
I am reading and keeping up with your adventures. You have gotten the summer off to a great start. You *are* such a good mommy! :-D
