We had a nice weekend. The weather was great (well at least Saturday it was). Addison tried out the pool she got for her birthday from my parents. I must say she looks beautiful in it.
We got out the slide that Jason bought last summer. Zachary had a blast on it. Last year his legs were a little too short to climb up the back by himself but this year he could do it easily.

Addison loves playing the clubhouse.
Over the past couple months Jason has been teaching Zachary all about space and the planets. We are proud to say he can name all of them. Don't know many four year olds that can name all of the planets! He knows which ones are cold and which are hot. Which are small and which are farthest away from the Earth. Every night they go on an adventure in his room before bedtime. They put on their helmets and climb into the rocket ship (Z's bed) and blast off to two different planets and look for treasure. I really should set up the video camera so Zachary can look back on it. My point in telling you all of this is so you will know why I took these next pictures. Later that day (Saturday) while I was running and Addie was napping Jason drew the planets on the sidewalk with chalk. Zachary could name all of them just by looking at the drawings. Jason says it's because of his mad chalk drawing skills. I must admit they are pretty good! I thought I would share a few.....
These three are the Milky Way, a Black Hole, and something else (I can't remember).
Here is a shot of Mars that Zachary took himself. Made me laugh because his cute little foot is in the picture.
And lastly I wanted to share a picture from today of our beautiful boy. This was taken right before we left for a birthday party for one of his classmates.

The second thing I thought after seeing these pix (the first was how cute my grandkids are!!) was how can the kids NOT be cold. Hard to fathom it can be that warm in Gulfport when it has been chilly in Salina.
I am VERY impressed with Zachary's knowledge of the solar system. Jason must be a great teacher and Zach must be sharp as the proverbial tack.
I thought the exact same thing--I'm cold just looking at them in their swim suits because it's so chilly here!
I think Zach is not only more knowledgeable that most 4-year-olds, he's probably also more knowledgeable in that area than most adults! I'll bet many people can't name all the planets! The only reason I think I happen to know them in order is that I used to teach preschool and we had a song about them! :)
It's been real warm here lately (altho today is a little chilly even though it's in the low 70's). One day it even got up to 90! Zachary is like a sponge. He learns and remembers things so easily. Jason is a great teacher though. He's loved space for a long time. I'm glad he gets to share that love and knowledge with Zach.
