We’re taking advantage by hitting the Tucson Children’s Museum for free! They also have a ton of exhibits set up outside with free books, snacks and treats, arts and crafts, science experiments and more!! Having a blast! Take advantage in your city, too!!
Hi, I’m Ashley! Arizonan on paper, Texan at heart. Lover of running, blogging, and all things cheeeeese. Freshly 40, married mother of two, working in academia. Trying to finally (finally!) pay off that ridiculous 6-digit student loan debt!
The girls are getting big!
Ashley, your girls are precious! ‘Love their smiles!
Another fun thing to do — have you checked out your nearby Home Depot lately? Some have a craft area for the children where they can build and paint birdhouses, planters, etc. from scratch with wood, hammers, nails, and paint. ‘Might be an idea for a Saturday morning with the girls.
Lowes also does build and grow clinics that are similar.
Yes! We need to do this again! We’ve only gone once, about a year(-ish) ago, and it was tough! Still a little “advanced” for the kids at that time. I remember hubs and I basically doing all of the work! Ha! But it’s been at least a year, so I need to check it out again – great idea and so much fun for the kids to get to keep whatever they’ve built!
It took me two passes over the pictures to realize your what that green thing is your daughter is holding in the picture- gave me a good laugh!!
