Keeping Busy

So this semester is a bit of a rough one for P, and us because of it! He has 5 regular classes, law review (a law school journal), moot court (a kind of mock trial thing), and then some other little pro bono stuff and other things. So he is gone a lot and we find ourselves trying to just keep busy! We try and go to local kids attractions, shopping, and the library and it's been fun to do lots of fun stuff. Here are some pics of us just keeping busy.

This is oatmeal believe it or not-who knew it could be so messy, and yes it is purple! I put frozen blueberries in their hot oatmeal and it melts the blueberries while cooling down the oatmeal. It is a quick way to get it on the table since my kids are not good at waiting for breakfast.
H, has dance class twice a week which she LOVES. She is such a little dancer, although she is definitely not learned how to be very graceful yet!
We play in this chair a lot!
And we work with words with G. He said baby yesterday and bottle today! Hooray for G! I think in a few months he will be exhausting us with his language like a certain little girl does!
What are some ways you keep busy when you are playing single mom?

I do that exact same thing with putting frozen blueberries in the oatmeal!

Great idea with the blueberries! I will have to try that.

Let me know if you ever want to come try some of the Provo attractions with us... Bean Science Museum, Dinosaur Museum (just went there yesterday for the first time- Colton thought it was great!), story time at the library, etc.

Sorry it's a rough semester. Hang in there!
