Logic

If...you play in your toy room for 10 minutes while mom is putting the baby down for a nap
Then...mom will have approx 2 hours of time to read/play/do science just with you

If...you come in to talk/whine/ask questions every 30 seconds
Then...the process will take up to 40 minutes

One day he will understand. Or I will buy a cage.

B is for Bat

Wow not only am I really behind on posting these but I took almost no pictures of B is for Bat!

Well anyway to start off I made him bat wings, which he loved for about 30 seconds...
I made a really simple bat cave he could hide out in and read his bat books.

Together he and I fixed our real bat house that fell last year (don't worry it was unoccupied) so it can be rehung.

We also tried something new I've been wanting to incorporate, which is online searching for information. We googled bats, we looked for information that was relevant. We talked about people being able to post information themselves which gives us lots of perspectives and some info that is wrong. 

We also went to the Oklahoma City Museum of Modern Art. 
There he drew a bat for his art project. They had super cool kids backpacks filled with activities to do at the museum. We loved the Halo Amok exhibit by Wayne White (but there was a docent there so I couldn't take pictures). No docent in the glass and light exhibit...
Oh and from the gift shop he chose chocolate covered insects which he ate and loved. Since bats eat bugs it was thematic right?

White Bear


"The white bear. The most fearsome predator. It eats anything that moves- seahorses, tiger cubs, even other bears"

Jamie Outerson



Peanut has an alternate personality:

My name is Jamie Outerson. I am five years old and a grown up. I live over in Stillwater with my wife Chole, who is four and our daughter Ellie, who is two. I drive a scooter home from work. But I am a stay at home dad. Chloe is a stay at home mom. We are rich. When asked how I made all my money I reply "out of little bits of spiders." I am a dentist that helps dead people but I am not afraid of aliens that are little. We have a pet Komodo dragon. We get meat for it from our refrigerator back in Stillwater. It likes to eat gazel, bison and bull. I like to eat those meats too. I am a tiger and Chloe is a cheeta. We got married at the temple that looks like Chloe's house. I like it when it is raining like a rainstorm. I like thunder.
