If you haven't been, check it out this week!<br />
<br />
The Block Party program offered by Purdue Extension provides events that include free play<br />
with blocks of all types and sizes for families and their children ages 8 months to 8 years. Parents interact and play with their children while learning how to help them develop a variety of skills such as math, science, social, physical, new words, pre-reading, creative, and problem-solving skills.<br />
<br />
Join us for the Party:<br />
Marion Public Library<br />
October 29, 6:00 p.m.<br />

I'm feeling like I'm a bit of a blogger-failure these days. :( That said, I'd rather be with my kiddos outside in the summer than inside on the computer, so maybe that's not a bad thing! "Playing" with my kids doesn't come naturally for me, so I'm trying to be more purposeful about playing/interacting with them instead of busying myself with other things. I'm getting a little better, but I have a long way to go!<br />
<br />
My boys and I have had a great summer, full of fun, but relaxing activities. I've tried to plan at least one thing a day, and my boys have apparently learned this, as Caleb asked me yesterday, "So what's the plan for the day?" I guess he is my son. :)<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVcL50bQ9Hdo2JCgknajc76a1_Jmk1fIncBpc3pUGGjUw4lSiv137QSsv9lWdvgfO9xscpF-rEi5iOT5c_3BvkcVbfUpwVlCZoHq2hku-1bb4borxihV-i-Q187sfzjBmyDkHO5xz-730/s1600/IMG_4243.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVcL50bQ9Hdo2JCgknajc76a1_Jmk1fIncBpc3pUGGjUw4lSiv137QSsv9lWdvgfO9xscpF-rEi5iOT5c_3BvkcVbfUpwVlCZoHq2hku-1bb4borxihV-i-Q187sfzjBmyDkHO5xz-730/s1600/IMG_4243.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a>This summer I bought a bike for the first time in over a decade, and as I promised my husband (to justify the purchase), I really have been riding it! My oldest is 7, and can ride on his own, but my 5 year old isn't quite on his own yet so we purchased a "tag along" for behind my bike. I'd looked at this attachment last summer, but decided against it. This summer I bit the bullet, and I can't recommend it enough! I wish I'd done it sooner! Micah, my 5 year old, LOVES it, and it isn't difficult for me to maneuver. In case you're interested, I got it at Dunham's, but it's also available online. See <a href="http://www.amazon.com/WeeRide-96455-Co-Pilot-Bike-Trailer/dp/B003XNFMLS" target="_blank">Amazon link</a> to the one I got (but check Dunham's first b/c I got mine on clearance!) My husband put it together, and said it wasn't difficult to do. It's also easy to remove. People see us on the street and everyone comments on it and asks me where I got it, so I don't think resale will be difficult. <br />
<br />
I also purchased a helmet this summer - my boys have been on me the past couple of summers to get one, and I kept making excuses, but my ridiculous vanity isn't worth the example I'm setting for my kids. I read a few weeks ago on a GREEN LIVING website that if we all went one day a week without driving we would make a significant impact on the environment. I'm always looking for ways to make changes that can affect our environment and our health in a positive way, so I figure I should try it. My boys and I rode to the Farmer's Market yesterday, and the grocery store the day before. It gives us exercise, saves gas & pollution to the air, passes some of the time on some long summer days, and creates an experience I'm hoping they remember with me. <br />
<br />
See us below rocking our helmets. :)<br />

Get in and get your kids signed up! My kids love this program - like their Dad, anything that is a competition gets them motivated, and it is a fun way to keep them in learning-mode over the summer. :)<br />

We'll be flying from Indy to Boise, via Denver, so we have multiple hours on the plane. Trying to think ahead about entertainment, I was reminded that all of the DVDs that used to keep my boys entertained mindlessly for hours on a plane (Dora, Backyardigans, etc.), no longer hold their interest. So, I revisited a site I haven't been on in a while.<br />
<br />
Have you heard of <a href="http://swapadvd.com/">SwapaDVD.com</a>? It is a great site/program - easy to use. Basically, you list any DVDs you have for sale, others request them, you mail them directly to the person who requested it (with the help of easy mailing labels printed out from the <a href="http://swapadvd.com/" target="_blank">SwapaDVD system</a>), and then you have "credits" to shop their system with for any DVDs others have. I spent about 25 minutes loading in the list of DVDs my boys no longer watch, and within days I had requests to mail 5 DVDs, which got me 5 credits to get new movies for the flight for my boys to Boise! <br />
<br />
I admit, I was a little sad about trading in Dora for Superheros cartoons, but my boys are still pretty stinkin' cute, so I'll be okay. :)<br />
<br />
If you haven't tried the site/program before, I recommend it. I almost just took the DVDs down to the kids consignment store here, but am glad I spent a few minutes to enter them instead as 5 new super hero videos are worth a lot more to me than the $5 I would have gotten at the consignment shop.<br />
<br />

Recently, our dryer stopped working, so we called Fox Appliance. This is actually our 3rd time having them out for various projects (once our dishwasher stopped heating, once our fridge door was broken), and I can honestly say that the $59 service fee for coming out is worth it! They are quick, professional, knowledgable, and very friendly. We called Friday, they came out Saturday morning (as promised), called Saturday afternoon with the cost of the parts needed, and came back Monday afternoon (with ordered parts - I have no idea how they got there so quickly!) to install & fix. I'm doing laundry again! :)<br />
<br />
Have something you need done? They service most brands of appliances. <br />

YMCA soccer registrations have begun - they're taking them now through March 15th for U6 & U8. Fees are $25 for YMCA members and $40 for non-members. Games are at Ballard Field this year (on 18, right before you get to Marion as you're driving in from 69). Practices begin week of March 31 (spring break week) and games start April 12. <br />
<br />
My oldest played soccer last year and had a great experience so we will be signing both our kiddos up this year! To register, stop by the YMCA in Marion to complete an application and pay your fees (by check or credit card). <br />
<br />
Looking forward to being OUTSIDE again!<br />
<br />
YMCA is also taking volleyball registrations through March 15. Same fees & dates as soccer - $25/members or $40/non-members, starting week of March 31. Volleyball is for 5/6 grade or 7/8 grade. Stop by YMCA in Marion to register. <br />

I stock up at Big Lots when they have these 20% off days - toilet paper, shampoo & soaps, cereal, canned goods, juice boxes, snack foods like granola bars... you never know what you'll find there, but whatever I do find I always get good deals on! Prices are already cheaper than the grocery store, and with 20% it is a steal! Event is this Saturday! <br />

You can register online <a href="http://www.lowesbuildandgrow.com/pages/default.aspx" target="_blank">HERE</a>, or just show up and hope they still have a kit. I warn you that the last two Decembers the TRAIN kits have been very popular, and they do run out, so I suggest registering online AND getting there little before 10am to make sure you get one! <br />

The proceeds from the run go toward promoting health in Grant County children through various means. It is not too late to sign up for the run - see info below. <br />
<br />
Ramie Harris was a young woman who lived a healthy lifestyle. She
loved fitness –soccer, running, and many other activities. It was her
goal to run a marathon. Ramie was passionate to become a physician and
encourage others to be physically and mentally healthy. Ramie also
adored animals, including her dog Paisley.<br />
<br />
In Ramie’s honor we are planning a 5 K run, fun run/walk and dog
walk. “Ramie’s Run” will occur November 9th 2013 at 10 AM in Matter Park
in Marion. The proceeds will promote health and wellness for children
throughout Grant Count.<br />
