Freight Train Sensory Table. I used some train track tape from @sohandmadellc to turn our sensory table into a train table! I added some loose parts and the boys loved loading up the trains with freight. We read one of our favorite train books, Steam Train, Dream Train, by @sherririnker. The boys had a blast!

Train track tape: @sohandmadellc, use code KINDNESSCASTLE
Peg dolls: use code Kindness10
Construction loose parts: use code Kindness10

Thank you, children.bookreviews for the photos!!! 🙌🏻

Restoration

I found this old oil painting, unframed and covered with dust, leaning against a wall in the back of an antique store — sandwiched between all sorts of other things.

Neglected.

On the back, a single stamp, “London” speaks to where she’s been, what she may have seen. Before.

It’s amazing what still exists, under the layers of decades, just waiting for someone to care enough, be curious enough, to discover what’s beneath the surface, to know there is more to know.

The things and the people I love most are like that.

A side of carburetor?

Coffee, with a side of carburetor. 🙄

Getting ready for the 2022 kart season, here. I will soon open the dishwasher to find it filled with sprockets, my laundry room covered with engine parts and racing gear all over the dining room table.

Wishing you all speed and success. Stay safe out there. #kart #karting #kartmom #206 #206heavy #206senior @racebriggs #briggsandstrattonracing #briggsandstratton #kartfamily #racing

Our Rainbow Days Review...

I’m so honored to share this Roto and Roy review from @ourrainbowdays
…chances are you already know and love the book series Goodnight Goodnight Construction Site by Sherri Duskey Rinker. They are long time favorites in our house! ⠀
⠀
@sherririnker has teamed up with illustrator @devas_t for a new action packed story- ROTO and ROY Helicopter Heroes! ⠀
⠀
It quickly became Lincoln and Lennon’s new favorite book. I love the heroism, rhyming text, and colorful illustrations. Lincoln loves when Roto the helicopter dumps water from the air to put out a giant fire. Lennon’s favorite part is when the dog gets rescued and gets to ride with Roy Thunder in Roto! ⠀
⠀
Please give @sherririnker and @devas_t a follow and check out ROTO and ROY on Amazon! It’s currently on sale so grab a copy for your kiddos, students, Easter baskets, birthday gift, etc! Don’t miss out because it’s AWESOMESAUCE! ⠀
⠀
Thanks so much for another awesome adventure @sherririnker

Raising Little Dinosaurs...thanks

Thank you, @raising.little.dinosaurs for this awesome endorsement of Roto And Roy! 🚁
If your little ones love the Goodnight Goodnight Construction Site series, check out this new book by the same author @sherririnker 📚 She was kind enough to send us a copy to read & my boys love the fun helicopter adventure! My 5yo slept with the book in his bed the other night so he could continue “reading” - the illustrations are perfect so he can still tell the storyline even without reading the words!❤️

Swipe to see a couple pages from the book 🚁🔥🚒🐕

This super fun monkey foam was perfect to shape into a pretend fire… and then for my boys to play with & squish as we read the book. ❤️

Thanks Theo!!

I could not be more thrilled and honored that Curious George chose “Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site” pajamas this evening. 😮Brand crossover opportunity? 🤔 Perhaps…

Thank you to Theo for assisting with the wardrobe choice and to Theo’s mommy for sending the photo!
