Today, we did The Foot Book, and drew feet onto a person, most were spotted feet and some had no feet. Then we painted our feet silly for our foot book that we are making. We had everything from mermaids, aliens, spotted, zig zag, giraffe, bumble bee, crazy feet. So, if you notice some paint on their feet, you will know what it's from!

We did get outside for a bit this morning, it was chilly with the wind, but we were able to run off a little energy before the rain started.

Breakfast: french toast sticks, banana
Lunch: tacos, grapes
Snack: cheeze-it's

We ended up with only a few kids today, so I thought we would go check out the Redwood Falls Library since I've never been their before.
