Thursday!

It's Thursday already:) We made a rainbow with fruit loops this morning, probably their favorite part was to eat the left over fruit loops! We also enjoyed some outside time this morning, we walked around and checked out the horses.. always the kids' favorite, especially when we haven't seen them lately!

We got out the grocery store, something "new" is always fun!

Breakfast: cereal, banana
Lunch: roast beef sandwiches, california blend veggies, grapes
Snack: vanilla wafers

Wednesday already!

Can't believe that it's Wednesday already! Happy Birthday to Dr. Suess! We turned our footprint into a cat and titled it, "Look my foot is a cat. How cool is that!" They turned out pretty cute, the big kids were excited to make one too this morning since we had late start.

We stayed inside this morning, but hopefully we can get out this afternoon.

Breakfast: chocolate chip pancakes, apples
Lunch: ham, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, bread
Snack: cupcakes for Dr. Seuss' birthday!

Monday!

We kept busy this morning, always a good thing:) It's always nice, to see how well they can play together after the weekend... they must have missed everyone!

We made lions this morning, tomorrow we will have to make a lamb. I sure hope that March comes in like a lamb and goes out like a lamb! We also did flannel board stories this morning and enjoyed some fresh air!

We tried something new for lunch today, "Muffin Tin Monday"... Each Monday, we will eat our lunch in a muffin tin... They thought it was so "awesome" and "cool"!

~*~ Tomorrow, I have a DR. appt at 10:00, so Mike and Grandma will be here while I am gone.

Breakfast: cereal, banana
Lunch: hamburger/noodle hotdish, asparagus (some liked), peaches
Snack: crackers

Terriffic Thursday!

Here's a picture we took this morning, those missing were napping or at school! We made a rainbow craft to hang up in the toy room for St. Patrick's Day, they had to match the color streamers to the rainbow colors, it seemed to be a little tricky for some, but we managed to get it done:)

It was too cold to go out, so we had to do some large motor games to wear off some energy!! They also spent time doing puzzles (which seem to be one of their favorite things lately) and coloring! We finished coloring our Thing 1 and Thing 2 people to hang up for Dr. Seuss' birthday.

Breakfast: cereal, banana
Lunch: corn dogs, ff, green applesauce
Snack: string cheese and crackers

Wednesday already! Where has the week gone? We spent the morning, re-arranging the playroom.... always a nice change! It's nice when everything seems "new" again! We have our reading corner back and they have been enjoying spending time in it. They also kept busy this morning with puzzles and memory. One of the kids said to me, Nicci you always mix up the cards good! When they lay the cards out, some reason they always seem to know right where the matches are!

We finished up our dental health today by making toothbrushes and they each got a toothbrush kit from the Colgate Smiles Program.

Breakfast: chocolate chip pancakes, grapes
Lunch: chicken alfredo, banana, broccoli, garlic toast
Snack: rolls

Letter Q

We learned about the letter Q today, thanks to Garrett & Gavin for bringing the letter jar back. That was a hard letter! I'm still singing the Q song in my head, "Q, Q! Q,Q! A circle, slanted stick!, Q, Q! Q,Q! A big karate kick!... Q, Q! Q,Q! A circle, down, and pop! Q, Q! Q,Q! A big karate kick! Q, Q! Q,Q! /q/, /q/, /q/, /q/, /q/, Q!" We made queens today for the letter Qq.

We also enjoyed some fresh air this morning and will probably go out again this afternoon. Their cheeks sure were rosy when they came in!

Breakfast: cereal, banana
Lunch: HM chili, crackers, grapes
Snack: grapes, oranges

President's Day

No School today! We also had pajama day, a good thing for a snow day! We had a light bunch today, but that was OK! We got the fish tank cleaned and also made Abraham Lincoln masks and spent a little time coloring this morning before heading outside.

Breakfast: apple cinnamon french toast sticks, oranges
Lunch: HM Italian dunkers, grapes, yogurt
Snack: kids' choice

Happy 1st Birthday Alexis!

Happy 1st Birthday to Alexis today! It's hard to believe that she is 1 already, they sure don't stay little for long :( She opened up her present, ripping off piece by piece of paper, it was pretty cute, the kids were starting to get impatient with her to see what it was!

We made a smile mask this morning and also played playdough. The kids must be looking forward to warm weather too, as they took their dolls swimming this morning, I told them not to forget to put on sunscreen!

Breakfast: donuts, peaches
Lunch: pizza hotdish, grapes, oranges
Snack: special k bars

I wish....

Watching Mike move the slush with the skid loader

I wish this nice weather would stick around! Today, it really makes me think of spring! The kids had a blast playing outside this morning re-discovering the toys that are left out there...

We spent a majority of our time outside this morning, but we also painted a tooth with toothbrushes. (They thought it was pretty funny that we were painting with toothbrushes!) We also worked on writing our names.

Breakfast: cinnamon rolls, grapes
Lunch: chicken nuggets, tator tots, frozen peas
Snack: Doritos

It's a Beautiful Day Today!

I sure wish this nice weather would stick around until spring!

We started working on our dental health theme today, we talked about good foods for our teeth and bad foods. We also did a puzzle worksheet that the majority of them cut out great and glued it back together along with the Clifford magazine.

We played a few games this morning where we used our counting skills (probably without realizing they were counting)... 5 jumping jacks, clap your hands 7 times, etc... We also got some exercises in this way:)

We spent awhile outside this morning, they asked to go to the big snow hill, but I'm afraid it's probably way too muddy to get down there! They found the airplane teeter totter along with the swings and the slides.... so they kept busy regardless:)

Breakfast: french toast, grapes
Lunch: hamburger/potato hot dish, bread sticks, pears
Snack: yogurt, rice cakes
