Thursday

A rainy day today! They were all going boating, so we used the air mattress as our pontoon! We also made robots out of different shapes, worked on our colors and played in shaving cream. I'm missing my camera, so sorry these aren't the best quality pictures!

B: peanut butter toast, strawberries
L: stuffed pasta shells, banana, lettuce salad
S: puppy chow

Wednesday

Wow! Can't believe it's Wednesday already! The kids played so nice this morning, we didn't have time to do a project, which is ok too. It was fun to watch them all interact together and find everyone a person to be, one was the griller, a mom, the kids, the money taker, etc!

Rosie was out to read stories and we went out to play in the wind!

Breakfast: waffles, grapes
Lunch: pizza hotdish, california blend veggies, peaches
Snack: doritos

Tuesday

Another warm and windy day today! We spent some time this morning making robots from construction paper and the girls inspired us to re-arrange... so we now have a kitchen area with a door way! Brooklyn was their baby today when they were playing...

Breakfast: donuts, grapes
Lunch: spaghetti hotdish, strawberries, corn
Snack: yogurt, crackers

We played t-ball with water balloons yesterday afternoon

-Monday-

We started our theme on robots today, Kylie thought it would be fun to play Robot Says, we also built robots with tin cans, nuts and bolts. I think they turned out very cute! We had fun outside this morning, first a few games of tag tails and then we all played t-ball. I think we need some more practice with running the bases!

Breakfast: cereal, grapes
Lunch: ham, cheesy potatoes, peas, cheesy biscuits
Snack: graham cracker robots

Jocelyn's turn to read stories today!

Friday

Happy Friday everyone! What another windy day we have today! Today, we did manage to get outside and throw a few water balloons around and run off a little energy! We also read the book, The Very Busy Spider and colored spiders. The big girls have been busy teaching the little girls a dance, I will have to post a video once they are done with "dance class"!!

Breakfast: cereal, pears
Lunch: hamburgers/bun, grapes, tator rounds
Snack: angel food and strawberries

Have a great weekend!

"Dance class":

-Thursday-

We had an inside day today! Too windy to go out and play, I think Mike said gusts up to 46 mph, even just looking outside, we slowly watched our toys blow and you could see the dust blowing around outside :(

We kept busy playing play dough, painting, playing, worked on patterning with some fruit manipulative's.

Breakfast: banana bread, apples
Lunch: chicken Alfredo with tortellini noodles, broccoli, applesauce
Snack: breadsticks

Wednesday

Building tents was the thing to do this morning! I think we must have had at least 3 different tents set up to keep everyone happy! Grandma was out to read stories and then we headed out to play. We will start a project after nap today, so it can hopefully be dry to finish it tomorrow!

Breakfast: cereal, apple
Lunch: tator tot hotdish, green beans, strawberries, bread
Snack: Amber brought us snack today

Sidewalk Chalk Paint (1 c water, 1 c cornstarch)

Tuesday!

Today, we read the book, The Greedy Python, who eats all different animals and then is so long, he eats his rear and doesn't know it! The kids thought it was a funny book. We then each painted our own pythons, some had huge belly's! Then, we used glitter paint to paint some dragonflies to hang up.

Another nice day outside!

Breakfast: muffin, apple
Lunch: tacos, pears, blueberries
Snack: watermelon

cutting grass, good practice for those fine motor skills!

Monday, May 14th

This week will be our first official week of summer vacation! The big girls have been so helpful today:) They are excited to start their checkbooks where they can earn money but also can have to pay me some money! Of course, they can use their money to purchase things from my store. I'm hoping this will work well for their math for the summer:) Today, we used our handprints to make the Very Hungry Caterpillar and we enjoyed plenty of time outside, see all the pictures below!

Breakfast:pancakes, apple
Lunch: pork chops, mashed potatoes/gravy, breadsticks, strawberries
Snack: grilled cheese

Here's my kiddos for the summer!

I stuck them each in the stroller while we went for a walk, I caught this picture on camera.... aaahhhh:)

Our Bangin' Station is coming along! Just a few more instruments!

Fun in the sand
