This year for Halloween, I wasn’t quite ready to let the kids go at their pumpkins with knives, even those kid-safe tiny pumpkin carving ones.
In our house, the playroom is for imagination, for open-ended toys, for free exploration. We have dress up clothes (mainly play silks and scarves), building

What’s up with zoos? Are they fun educational places to learn about different animals and our world? Or are they depressing animal rights nightmares? Here’s the run-down on the rundown San Antonio, TX Zoo, and how our family trip went.
We’re so lucky to have found such an awesome play group while we have been at Randolph AFB. The group is organized by Janet S.,
I wasn’t sure how many shows we would get to see, or if they would be too long to hold the kids’ attention, but they were just the right length (even with us getting there early to find good seats just beyond the splash zone) and the kids loved them!

It was really cool to see so many people just having fun together, and to be a part of it.
We’ve done crafts and cooking projects, met up with a group of moms for a play date (and will do that again for sure), we’ve put kids’ art on the walls (technically not allowed, but we didn’t nail holes or anything), and spend time cuddling, playing, reading, and singing together.
