*Thursday*

We had our back to school picnic today:) It sure will be quiet next week without my school girls here, I will miss their help but yet, it will be nice to get into our own routine again!

I had an ultrasound appt. today so Grandma was out to stay with the kids. While I was gone, the bigger kids played games and the littler ones "cooked" for Grandma!

Tomorrow, I have a dr. appt at 9:00, so Mike will be with the kids

Breakfast: cereal, peaches
Lunch: ham sandwich, grapes, oranges, chips
Snack: cheese, crackers

Happy 7th Birthday to Amber! I started daycare with my mom when she was a baby, makes me feel OLD to see that she's 7 already:)

After we let Amber open her presents, we made a scarecrow, everyone did their own glue, so they all look different:))) ( I know, it seems early for fall stuff... but I want some fall things hung up before my maternity leave, since we will probably go into Halloween when I'm back!!)

Grandma was out to read stories this morning and then we enjoyed the beautiful morning outside!

Breakfast: cinnamon rolls, pears
Lunch: cheese pizza, grapes, corn
Snack: cookies (Amber's birthday treats)

Tomorrow: Grandma will be back in the morning while I have an ultrasound appt. at 8:30

If you look close on the rocks, you can see their frog!

Last night while mowing I spotted a ton of frogs. I decided today we would have "frog day', we made frogs with our hand prints for the feet and also went on a frog hunt. We were only able to fine one frog.

Breakfast: cereal, banana
Lunch: chicken alfredo, pears, apple
Snack: crackers

Since I'm done at 1:00 tomorrow, I probably won't blog. So have a great weekend!

Looking ahead to next week:

Friday: I have a dr. appt at 9:00, so Grandma will be here

~Wonderful Wednesday~

Happy Wednesday everyone! We started on our fall bulletin board, it seems kinda early for fall stuff, but with the kids returning to school in a little over a week, it's seems appropriate! They each water colored some leaves and then we took a picture of everyone jumping on the trampoline to look like they will be jumping in the leaf pile. Hopefully it turns out cute:)

Breakfast: cinnamon roll, banana
Lunch: lasagna, oranges, lettuce
Snack: pretzels

~Tuesday~

Above is a few pictures from our morning, we enjoyed the beautiful weather outside, of course, a few of the kiddos complained they were cold when we were out! I of course, loved the cooler weather! A nice change for once!

We did the nursery rhyme, "Once I caught A Fish Alive" this morning, we did a worksheet and put the fish in the correct order from 1-5 and we also colored a fish with marker and then glued it to another paper and sprayed water over our paper to give it the water affect.

Breakfast: french toast sticks, pears
Lunch: round steak, hash brown patties, California veggies w/ cheese, bread
Snack: puppy chow

~Monday~

Hope you all had a great weekend, it sounded like everyone kept busy this weekend! I had a dr. appt. this morning, so Grandma was here and read stories while I was gone. When I returned, we headed outside. I told the kids we would make up for extra circle time tomorrow:)

Breakfast: cereal, banana
Lunch: pizza sandwiches, grapes, corn
Snack: grapes & pineapple

~Thursday~

One more day to go till we hit FRIDAY!!! We decorated some luminary bags for Garrett & Gavin's mom for Relay For Life today. We also got out the beauty salon, workshop and grill this morning... so they've  kept busy!

We've been enjoying our time outside without the humidity! When we were out this morning, they were busy mixing different potions in the lab and also got out all the chairs and were having a "camp fire" and going "camping"!

Breakfast: blueberry muffin, pears
Lunch: ham, potatoes, frozen peas, bread
Snack: grapes, animal crackers

Above is a few pictures from my birthday yesterday, still have pictures from the pinata to upload off my camera.  Yesterday, we each made our own stop light's again! Each day they start out on green, then they can get moved to yellow and then to red. When they land on red, they know that they won't be picking out a treat at the prize box at the end of the day. I thought some of them needed a visual reminder of their behavior, so we will try this out and hope it works!

We set up the tent and got out the camping stuff for the dramatic play this morning, we also worked on pattern sequencing and lacing.

Grandma was out to read stories, then we got out to enjoy the beautiful day outside! We even had breakfast on the deck and they were complaining they were Cold!!!

Breakfast: pop tarts, apple

Lunch: Italian Dunkers, grapes

Snack: PB&J
