~ Happy Friday ~

Happy Friday! We made dinosaurs with eggs today, the littler ones insisted on cutting, so they don't have a project to take home:) But, they did manage to get in some good cutting practice!

We headed outside and thanks to Jessi, we got to have colored hair! They thought it was so funny and absolutely loved every minute of it!

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

Breakfast: donuts, grapes
Lunch: cheeseburgers/bun, tator tots, banana
Snack: chocolate chip cookies

~Thursday~

WoW! It's Thursday already! We went a little out of Nicci's comfort zone this morning and did some paper mache! We started to make our dinosaur eggs! Hopefully they will dry tonight so we can paint them tomorrow and let them dry good over the weekend. Not sure what the kids thought of it, but I know that they didn't like the sticky feeling on their hands:)

We set the pool/water slide up this morning so we will do that after nap today!

Breakfast: cereal, banana
Lunch: roast beef, mashed potatoes, peas, stuffing
Snack: apples

Last night, I spent a good few hours cleaning out the play room and throwing stuff, probably part of my "nester list" as Mike calls it! A few of our totes in the closet got combined which made for extra space, see the picture below. This morning, I asked what they were doing as they were taking turns standing in the closet, scrubbing their hair, the response I got, "We're taking a shower!" I almost died from laughing! They have quite the imaginations:) A little while later they had the doll blankets out for their towels!

We made dinosaur skeletons with different kinds of noodles and also colored pictures the Bookmobile left yesterday. Grandma came and read stories then we headed out to play!

Breakfast: peanut butter toast with chocolate chips, banana
Lunch: pizza hotdish, peaches
Snack: yogurt, rice cakes

This morning we drew dinosaurs in between our play time. We had a beautiful morning outside! Here, I thought it was going to be humid and it was gorgeous:) We played with the parachute outside this morning and did a few different games, something fun and different!

Breakfast: pancakes, pears
Lunch: spaghetti, meatballs, apples, garlic toast
Snack: buns

We made dinosaur feet today out of our shoe prints and also practiced our cutting skills! Otherwise the kids kept busy with a few new toys I picked up over the weekend. I forgot to mention last week that we got our ladybugs in the mail, so we've been watching them... they are currently in the pulpa stage, they look like yucky buygs right now!

We played a few games of memory this morning as well as played with dinosaurs! Roar:))) The kids all seem to be feeling much better, nice to have the humidity gone! We also sponge painted dinos and hopefully they dry quickly so we can get them cut out! We spent a great deal of time outside this morning, it was so nice!

Tomorrow we will head to the Tracy Pool! We will probably leave around 12:30, swim from 1-3, have DQ for a treat then be back around 4 or so.

Breakfast: granola bars, grapes on the deck:)
Lunch: chicken fries, tator tots, peaches

I just realized that my post from yesterday never posted! I'll post the pictures below from yesterday.

I had a DR. appt this morning so Grandma was here and read stories when I got back. We did go outside for a little bit this morning. Denise, from Providers Choice was here to observe lunch today.

Breakfast: banana bread, peaches
Lunch: old fashioned hotdish, bread, frozen peas, grapes
Snack: pop tarts

Splashin' in the water to stay cool:)

~Monday~

We are switching our routine around this week! We headed outside to play right away this morning, we made a "potion lab", they had more fun dumping, pouring, mixing and seeing what concoction they could make up. We also did spray bottles when we were outside. When we came back in we dug out all the musical instruments-- we had some very loud music being played:) This afternoon, we will do our circle time activities and begin our new theme of dinosaurs.

Breakfast: cinnamon rolls, peaches
Lunch: tacos, apples
Snack: crackers

~Friday~

Happy Friday! We spent a good chunk of our morning re-arranging and cleaning out the playroom, how does so much stuff get accumulated? They were so cute to help, "I have big muscles Nicci"! Kendra also came back and visited us this morning, we celebrated her birthday while she was here! The last few days they have been into doing puzzles like crazy!

We made Popsicles with our footprint for circle time then went outside. The sky was starting to turn dark blue when we were out and they were all trying to guess who's house was getting rain at:) Needless to say, the rain was at Nicci's house at nap time:) What a good day for a nap!!!

Breakfast: donuts, grapes
Lunch: chicken strips, ff, cantaloupe
Snack: cookies

Looking ahead at next week:
Tuesday: closing @ 5:00!
Friday: afternoon- we may head to the pool:) Weather permitting of course!!!
