Happy New Year!

our new year shakers! they added pasta, beans and corn

found these dobber sheets at Toddler Time; even the big kids like to dobber! 

a fun little treat to go home tonight... sparklers! you can find the printable here

Where did our morning go? They were busy little beavers... first off, we had to have a dance party this morning and then they wanted pickle wraps for snack, so they helped me make those and a couple other things and by the time we got our crafts done, it was lunch time!

The big kids are having a Despicable Me 2 movie day this afternoon and I will find them something to do when that is over.

Wishing everyone a wonderful New Year... I can't wait to see what 2014 has in store for us:-)

Monday:)

They all played together so nice today! It was heaven.... Maybe, it was all the switching of toys I did over the weekend? But none the less, we had a good morning and will do a couple crafts this afternoon to keep busy!

Friday...

It was too cold to go outside so we stayed in and played with blocks, dolls, etc... I figured they could use one last day before the big kids were here being bossy to them! We did this little song about the elf a ton of times, they LOVED it! And these elf finger puppets I had left over from last year work great for it!
