Barn and Bunk

Sean had a class trip to Barn-n-Bunk a couple of weeks ago. We learned how to make a scarecrow, which was quite informative. Everybody got a turn stuffing the straw in (and we learned the difference between straw and hay, which I had been wondering about) which was fun.

The finished product!

I kept Teresa entertained with a snack in the carrier. She was not at all interested in learning about scarecrows but was keen on running around beyond where I could see her, so I pulled the Rice Chex card. Luckily that worked without too much squawking.

Sean's classic "camera smile."

There was an old corn crib that has been converted into a maze with a slide at the end. Sean did not want to go through it because it was too dark and he could not see where he was going, but then he figured out a way - he followed someone with light-up shoes! (So those do have a purpose after all!)

Sean did lead the pack during the corn maze. You can see him up front with the "Jeff" shirt on. I need to remember to not allow that shirt when he goes to school since it seems to cause some confusion. :)

I couldn't manage to get a picture of S & T together with their Notre Dame shirts on, so I just had to take two pictures.

Teresa was trying out fish lips for a couple of days. She gave up after a while.

Here's Mr. "I go at 120% until I crash and look like this for a day" Sean. Or maybe he's just trying to look dreamy.

Speaking of dreamy, the Prizm got a new paint job. Pretty dreamy, eh?

In the spirit of Prizm-ness, fun, and an appreciation for English rock, I voted for this to be painted on the hood:

but alas it turned out plain blue.

My new workout session is Priscilla's Yoga Stretches on PBS. (I never said I wasn't a nerd.) I mentioned it to Sean and he has wanted to try it a couple of times, but gives up after a few minutes claiming that it's too hard (despite the fact that I know he is in better shape and more flexible than I am!). I am going to find a yoga for children DVD at the library and try that next. Priscilla is not entertaining enough for a four-year-old's attention span.

They are both good at the relaxation pose, although take note that's not what Priscilla is instructing. My children march to the beat of some kind of drum I haven't figured out yet and probably never will. :)
