Just for Kicks

Harper is playing soccer for the YMCA again this year. Last year, was his first season and honestly I thought it would be his last. He was way too young and was only motivated by the refreshments! This year has been a totally different experience. He has way more coordination, speed, and a longer attention span, as well as 4 of his buddies on the same team. I think we are crazy to get up early on a Saturday morning for a 4  year olds soccer game, but he loves it, so therefore we endure the early mornings. This was my first soccer game to watch, it's a little hard getting out of the house with our six pack!!

Dewberry Farms

On the windiest day of the year, I loaded up the boys along with Addy and Maria and we trekked over to Brookshire, Texas. Cam's cousins were hosting a play date at Dewberry Farm and invited us. We couldn't pass up a fun day with cousins. So Tuesday morning I told Harper that we were playing hooky from school. He was so excited to see Cousin Charlie. The boys did SO good in the car, it was an hour and a half drive and they did not make a peep. I think they were excited to leave the house! 

Hampton and Hogan

King of the Mountain

Look at these cute cousins! I wish we lived closer, because these guys would be best buddies. They are 2 months apart and all BOY!

Sweet Cousin Stella

Harper went on a hay ride to the pumpkin patch. I hung back with the babies because the trailer was packed. The only reason I brought all my boys was to get a pumpkin patch picture. Well there was one little problem, there was no patch! The drought this year caused a little problem! So I snuck over to an area with a few pumpkins and desperately tried to snap a picture of the triplets. Ha Ha it was so windy and the "patch" left a lot to be desired.

Hudson, Hogan, and Hampton

A huge thanks to Maria and my mom who hung back with the wee ones and were such a big help. It was super windy and since we've been in a drought since May it was a giant dusty storm. The boys were bundled up but their cheeks were wind burned, especially Huddy! Today was a day that I will always remember, what an adventure!!

Mini Vaca in Kingwood

We loaded up our family and headed over to Kingwood to visit Addy and Poppy. We had a wedding shower to attend so my parents offered to babysit the boys for us. It is so nice having a 4:4 adult to child ratio! We always have a great time at A &P's house!

Poppy got Harper a new fishing pole so they practiced casting in the pool. Poppy tied a weight on the line and Harper casted in the bushes the majority of the time!

On our ride over to KW Cam received a driving award. We had just pulled out of our neighborhood and turned onto the highway when we got stopped. The officer did not take note of the FOUR noisy children in the back seats. He issued Cam a ticket for not using his blinker when he was in the left turn only lane!! Really?

Batman Day

Batman Day was a huge success at our house. I started planning fun things for Harper to do WAY too early. I am a teacher at heart and I love doing theme related things with Harper. He is my first born and my guinea pig for all things mama! He was overstimulated as a child...every minute of his day was planned, bless his little heart, no wonder he wants me to entertain him all the time!! I have been a little busy (wink*) lately and have not taken the time to plan something cool for Harper and I to do. He is really into Super Heroes lately. He prefers Spiderman, which is funny because we don't watch on TV. Well I found this fabulous idea from another blog and then I got my printables fom here. Check out our Super fun day. 

When I was making breakfast something in the other room caught Harper's eye and he said, "Mooom....I found a SURPRISE!!"

We had Batman Cinnamon Toast for breakfast.....

We dressed up in our capes to get in the mood for Batman Day. Harper named this side of the house the "Bat Cave!"

The next thing we did was a number puzzle matching the objects with the correct number and then putting everything in order. He loved seeing the different characters. He finished this task super fast and was ready to do the next activity! He kept saying, "Thanks mom, I LOVE puzzles!"

This kiddo loves to trace. He has completed every tracing workbook we own. Granted he likes to hurry through his work, I am trying to teach him to SLOW down!! So "Catching the bad guys" was a perfect activity for him. "Let's do more Batman games!" That is the phrase I heard over and over :)

Next, we made snakes out of color coordinating playdoh. We mashed the play doh on the letters Bb and Rr. We counted the letters in Batman and Robin, clapped syllables, and made a list of rhyming words.

We also cut out different sized Batmans and put them in order from Small-Large, Large-Small, and found the medium sized one.

Harper cut and pasted all the Batman characters and sorted them into categories. He learned the word "Villain" pronounced fillian!

We took a break to eat a snack and feed a brother. Hogan joined us in the Bat Cave for a little coloring. Harper did a color by number page and then practiced his counting and colors in English and Spanish

Batman Belly Washer

I cut out multiple Batman and Robins while Harper made patterns. He loved making a "Tricky" pattern and having me figure out what came next. We did AB, ABBA, and ABB patterns.

We played Batman Memory multiple times. He beat me every time!! I guess I need to pay better attention.

We will be having more FUN Fridays in our future!!
