Ducks....
We constantly have a surplus of bread in our house - note, I keep it in the fridge so it's good past the expiration date (I assume?? Can anyone assure me of this??) - but eventually it just gets stale because more often than not, my taste buds want something fried and greasy and topped with cheese for lunch.
So when it goes stale, but not moldy, we take it to the duckies!!
Last time we did it, we got rained out! Luckily, we were at Clement Park which is home to the Jeffco Public Library so I decided to take Aiden in there and see if he wanted anything.
He wasn't much interested in the books, mostly I think he was overwhelmed. But he liked the magazine racks in the kid's section.
When it became clear he was never going to pick a book, I suggested a movie. Of course he wanted a Mummy movie!
As we were leaving, I spotted a new book from one of my favorite authors on the staff picks shelf and snapped it up - Aiden scolded me and said, "You don't need a book, you have lots at home."
But the books at the library are FREE, some day he'll understand my habit.
Speaking of habits, Aiden has taken up cooking this summer!
He started out as a little kitchen helper measuring ingredients and stirring mixtures. He graduated to helping at the oven and stove (with lots of supervision and help of course).
Yesterday morning he made his own scrambled eggs from start to finish!!
Mommy is liking where this is headed!
Besides culinary skills, we have also been feeding Aiden's inner artist this summer. He went to an outer space themed art camp at the Denver Art Museum in July and absolutely loved it!
There were 20 kids total, and only 4 of them were boys, of course Don Juan was in heaven with the ladies...
Showing the girls a thing or two about coloring inside the lines...
He brought home space ships and aliens galore!
And my most favorite art piece...
That's right, my kid spells AND writes his name. Genius. Can not be denied, he's on his way to med school!
I kid, I kid - I'm just so happy to see him flourishing and growing. He loved art camp so much that I decided to send him for one more week before school started. Seeing him with new kids and bringing home all the projects and just really turning into such a well-rounded kid...priceless.
