Whew! What a BUSY day we had today! We used shaving cream to make stars for Twinkle, Twinkle. We also used tape to make stripes on our candy canes, then painted them red. They thought it was amazing to watch as the tape was peeled off to see I really was right! Then they painted with red and green when we were finished. We got outside to run off a little bit of energy, but, burr... I'm not used to this cold weather yet!

Breakfast: french toast, banana
Lunch: chicken Alfredo with tortellini noodles (which they all loved), grapes, pears
Snack: pretzels


Brianna and Levi's birthday yesterday

playing in the shaving cream after we made our stars

Look at my hands

I couldn't help but not take a picture of this! Someone was in time out and little Mr. Levi decided he would sit by her to keep her company!

We made Santa's today with movable feet, they needed to be colored and it seems like we haven't colored in awhile. We also built a fort, so that kept us busy! Brooklyn received a few new toys for Christmas, so they had fun helping me put them together so they could play with them!

Happy 5th Birthday Brianna! She was so shy when she started daycare with us, now she is just the exact opposite!





Happy 1st Birthday Levi! it's hard to believe you are one already!

Happy Friday everyone! What a busy day we've had! We baked gingerbread cookies (with peanut butter dough) this morning and one ran away. He led us on a wild chase thru the house until we finally found him outside. They thought it was soooooooooo funny that he went potty before going outside! (I used sugar sprinkles since I couldn't find my food coloring, so they think he poops blue:--) We also made gingerbread men and did a gingerbread dot-to-dot.

Enjoy your weekend, hopefully it's not too busy! Wednesday is pajama day and we will have our party on Friday.

Breakfast: cereal, pears
Lunch: hamburger/potato hotdish, lettuce, biscuits
Snack: peanut butter blossom cookies

Sorry for not posting yesterday, I must have got side-tracked! Today, we did the letter Jj and made a jingle bell bracelet, they had to figure out a trick to get the bells onto the pipe cleaner.
