Monthly Theme for April

This month is by far the easiest and one of the most fun of the monthly themes I have done with Noah-- "Transportation: Planes, Trains and Trucks," was a natural choice with a long car ride looming for us heading back to Michigan for Noah's 2nd Birthday party, which is going to be held at the transportation themed Kalamazoo Air Zoo.

I have been busy with planning for his party long distance, and I am excited at planning one that the cousins and many aunts and uncles and grandparents can attend, and may have gone just a bit overboard with planning. But how can I not plan a fun airplane themed party with a venue like that?

We have been keeping activities pretty low key because of the party planning and the big trip coming.  Howver, we have been doing  a ton of drawing with different transportation vehicles, practicing writing, and some other fun craft projects I'll be showing later.  We have also been taking full benefit of the unseasonably warm weather and enjoying bike rides and watching the everchanging parade of Richard Scarry-esge vehicles ride up and down the path next to our house.

The big event of this month, other than the obvious one of his birthday?  Our upcoming trip on the Nothstar Commuter rail- which for a boy who is obsessed with trains is going to be epic.  I don't know how I will ever manage to live up to this in following months.  ;)
