Caterpillars....

I know, 2 updates in one day. Miracle. You probably wont get one for a very long time now. Our caterpillars arrived in the mail last Friday so we are excited about watching them turn into a chrysalis. Today for one of their activities I gave them a printout of a jar and they were to try and draw what they saw in the caterpillar container. I hope to do this every few days so they can see and try to document what changes are happening.

Easter Lunch!!

This was a fun way to serve lunch on the Friday b4 Easter. I wish I would have planned it when I had a full house, the kiddos thought it was pretty cool. The only bad thing about serving lunch out of plastic eggs was that I was busy giving 2nds, 3rds, 4ths and 5ths all lunch hours cause the helpings were so small. We had pretzels, ham, carrots (ranch) strawberries and pineapple.

more than behind....

....its just like the dishes or the laundry. If I get to far behind I just never want to catch-up. I have millions of photos of these kiddos, here are a few.

Getting ready for a walk!! It's easy to get funny pictures b4 a walk because we are usually walking to get rid of some ENERGY!!




On our regular route there is a bunny that we stop and visit.




Found a lady bug in the gazebo at the park.


Another one of our favorite stops. They all gotta stop and touch the fish license plate.




Thanks for sharing your kiddos!!

Catch-up

I was going to title this "throw-up" because I'm just going to "throw-up" a bunch of pictures that have accumulated on my computer. Maybe catch-up would be more appropriate. I'm way behind....so in no particular order....here is a few!!

HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY TO FINLEY !!
pretty somber here-right after nap time!! I should have given them more time to wake up!! They were really excited this just isn't proof!! Livie is missing-she was still snoozing but we had to get the party going....pick-up time was near!! They loved the cupcake cones that Megan made. I was really surprised actually....sometimes they are very timid to try something new. They LOVED them. Thanks Megan for the fun treats!!



MAKING FINLEY HER BIRTHDAY BOOK. There were so many nice things they said about Finley. She is my best friend. I like when Finley plays dress-up with me. I like when Finley plays stickers with me. I say she is a pretty sweet gal....I'm glad I get to watch her!!








LACING AND PAINTING--GOOD BRAIN FOOD!!








MAKING NECKLACES








AFTER WE FINALLY GOT THE WHOLE ALPHABET PUZZLE DONE!!


THIS WAS A MORNING I PUT OUT A TUB OF JUNK AND SAID "DO WHAT YOU WANT." SOME LOVE IT....SOME NOT SO MUCH!!

most-est favorite thing EVER

One of the kids favorite thing to do is just glue, cut and mess with this kind of junk. Their personalities really come out with something like this. I give them a box of "stuff"--some scissors and glue and just let them go at it. Some of them will dive right in, gluing like a mad man and some of them will just sit and watch. Either way its always FUN!!

Where is winter??!!!!

Oh my, what a wonderful winter we are having!! This winter is a daycare providers dream!! These kids are awesome, really!! I hear of so many providers complaining about so many things that I'm glad I do not have to deal with. They all play good, eat awesome and get along with each other most of the time.Thanks for letting me spend my days with YOUR kids. Here are a few picts' from the week.









Ok, so the rest of the pictures are ones that I didn't take. Jas was off one morning to take Tyse to the eye doctor....so I'm guessing he allowed the kids to take some pictures-one of the many reasons he is way more fun than me!!

WONDERFUL MORNING....

You know those mornings that kind of "get away" from you. Looking at the clock and it's lunch time already. Its the best feeling EVER!! Most of our morning was spend building lincoln logs and reading books. Good thing the fire marshall didn't show up....I don't think anyone could have walked through the house without falling.







PS....its way harder to keep this up than i thought it would be...i'll try and do better....
