We ventured out to the Duck Park today! 
I not only fulfilled our playground resolution for the day, but I scoped out all of the Savannah parks! I teach a mommy-n-me bootcamp class and am in need of a great park to move my class to. I'll be teaching in Forsyth Park now! wahoo! After exploring the parks, we settled in at Lake Mayer's Duck Park. We enjoyed a picnic lunch and Scarlett "fed" the ducks. In all actuality, she threw bread pieces a foot in front of her and was almost attacked by 18 million birds who reached the bread before the ducks could! When I say "18 million birds" I mean it. There was a point when they were FOLLOWING us - seriously- across the park. I was a bit scared that we may die of bird pecking, but somehow we survived.
We ran, swung, climbed, danced, and fed the ducks all afternoon. We arrived back home with a sleepy 5 month old (YES FIVE months already!! Where is the time going?) and a toddler ready for more! Scarlett and I did an "A" activity (it's the letter of the week). We cut an apple in half and talked about 2 halves making a whole. I don't think at (almost) 29 months, she really understand the fraction lesson, but she sis count both halves! That's fantastic that she could recognize one whole apple was cut into two pieces and, when put back together, made one whole apple again! After learning with the apple, we cut it into 1/8th's and made marshmallow smiles. We painted each slice with peanut butter and stood marshmallows as the teeth on them. Then, using a toothpick, we put to "lips" together and made smiles!
How much fun was our day? hehehe.... It only got better! We watched a friend's little boy around dinner time, and when John got home from work, he was full of energy. We ate an AMAZING leftover dinner of the pork, potatoes, and veggies... and as I tyoe, we are enjoying a phenomenal glass of wine. I'm also smiling as I watch John fly toy cars off the fireplace mantle to make Scarlett and Emmett laugh. (Oh yes - it's 10:00pm and both children are awake. I wouldn't have it any other way!)
