Today Eva and I watched a few episodes from the soon to be released Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: I Heart Minnie DVD. This DVD has five Minnie-centric episodes including a never before seen episode called Minnie & Daisy’s Flower Shower. That was the first episode that we decided to watch. This episode focused on Minnie and Daisy preparing for a Flower Show. They had to make the clouds rain so that their flowers could grow. They also made the clouds into shapes. Don’t try to understand why the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is doing the things they do but focus on what skills they reinforce for children like counting, color and shape recognition and more skills like that. Don’t look to it for problem solving skills though because there is no way Toodles is gonna show up with the right mousekatool in the real world. But I do think that sequencing, shape recognition, counting and those skills are done right for the kids. read more!

Little Patriots Fans!
February 3rd, 2012 by Drew in Photo-A-Day No Comments
This morning we dressed Eva and Andrew in their Patriots gear. Took a few pictures and then quickly changed their clothes so they’d be clean for Sunday.
We had a visit from our friends Michele, Bob and Audrey today. Allison put together an arts and crafts activity for the girls. Bob and I played some Skylanders.

Consternation

Andrew showing me his very serious face. He cracks me up with his expressions. I wonder what he is thinking? If he’s anything like his sister he’ll be telling me what he’s thinking all the time soon enough.

Mickey Mouse Pancakes
February 1st, 2012 by Drew in Photo-A-Day No Comments
Today Mimi and Grandpa Dano left. They did so after we had a big breakfast at Bliss Dairy. Eva ordered the Mickey Mouse Pancake, ate all the M&M’s on it and then proceeded to eat a bit from everyone else’s plates and very little of her pancake.
It was a tearful goodbye. We had a wonderful time with their visit and were sad to see them go.

Here Comes the Big Game!
January 31st, 2012 by Drew in Photo-A-Day 4 Comments
I picked up Eva from school and we popped over to see my Dad so I could pick up Quicken. I’m still trying to get my MS Money files imported into Quicken on the MAC but the importer program is not working so well. I hope to convert MS Money to Quicken on the PC and then convert the Quicken file to a MAC Quicken file. I hope this works. I ran downtown to the bank and Eva decided to stay with my Dad and help undecorate the tree. She loves Christmas and taking down the tree is a heartbreaking affair. read more!
