a day trip to knoebels amusement park

noreply@blogger.com (Laurie) — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 12:00:00 +0000

we have been working non-stop lately. we finally had a random tuesday without anything terribly important that needed to be done, so we took the day off to take noah to knoebels. tuesdays in june are buy-one-get-one-free ride wristbands, so it was perfect. the weather was gorgeous and we packed so much into our day.

"museum after midnight"

noreply@blogger.com (Laurie) — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 12:00:00 +0000

the dance studio where i teach had their annual spring dance recital this weekend at the theater and it went great! the show was "museum after midnight" which was such a great theme that we brought to life.

this show was extra fun because i got to record approximately 40 voiceovers that played between each song to guide the audience through the "museum" and that was so much fun to do!

a newly renovated playground

noreply@blogger.com (Laurie) — Mon, 08 Jun 2026 12:00:00 +0000

a playground near our house recently got a whole new look thanks to a complete renovation from the city. they demolished the old playground which was really showing its age and built a completely new one in its place.

we were so excited to check it out recently. the new design is so bright, open, and colorful. noah really liked the new playground equipment, complete with a gigantic yellow slide which is unlike anything we've ever seen anywhere else. thank you to all of the local officials who secured the grant funding to make this project possible!

happy noah

noreply@blogger.com (Laurie) — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 12:00:00 +0000

the face of a kid whose parents took him to red robin for dinner and surprised him with the fact that they had a coupon for a free dessert!

noah is convinced that that the red robin statue in the lobby owns the restaurant and cooks the food. so he kept saying “thank you, red robin, for making dessert and dinner that was yummy!” legit i wish i had it on video, i could have sent it to corporate. when we left he had to visit the red robin statue in the lobby to give it a thumbs up, say thank you, give it a kiss on the beak, and then say “see you soon!”

too funny!

fun at bee's backyard

noreply@blogger.com (Laurie) — Thu, 28 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000

sunday was another cool and rainy day, so we took noah to bee's backyard indoor play place. the last time he was there was almost 2 years ago. it was a good way for him to get out some energy and for mom and dad to contort their bodies for the chiropractor.

we kicked off the long memorial day weekend on friday by picking noah up early from school and taking him to lakeland orchard. we haven't had a chance to go to lakeland the past few weekends because we were either busy with shows, or it has been raining.

we were happy to get back. noah missed his favorite bee ride and made up for lost time by riding it 3 times!

mother's day art projects

noreply@blogger.com (Laurie) — Wed, 13 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000

noah made some adorable art for mother's day. in preschool they made bouquets of flowers and each students worked on making their flowers little-by-little throughout the week. the tulips were noah's handprints, and he made lavender, sunflowers, and dandelions too. he ended up making two bouquets, one for mom and one for dad.

on friday morning at school they had "muffins with mom" where we got to go in and share muffins while making this cute little art project together with dried flowers and butterfly stickers.

stopping to admire the trees

noreply@blogger.com (Laurie) — Mon, 11 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000

it was so lovely to see this pretty tree blooming outside the dance studio recently when i went to teach dance class. i know these trees only bloom for a short period of time, so i was glad to see it, especially on such a dreary day.
