Puppy Chow

The kids LOVE to cook! They like that they get to be involved in their snack and meal times, and always enjoy their food more (and eat it better!)  if they were able to help with the planning and preparation. I usually sit with the kids when they are having a down time and will ask them what their favorite snacks and meals are. I will write down what they say then I will say "OK, now we need to make another list, and lets try to think of meals that cost about $2 a person and snacks that cost about  75 cents a person!" and its fun to write down what they come up with up.

We got out the sand timers to time each persons turn and many many other things

Hello Spring!

I love love LOVE nice weather!!! We spend so much time outside, and it is so much more enjoyable in the spring! The majority of our day is spent digging up worms, making dirt/mud cakes, making food for the chickens, riding bikes and scooters, climbing the tree, kicking/throwing/catching balls, and driving the little jeep. Thank you mother nature for helping out with daycare :)

Creative Art for these girls involves lots of paper, stickers, glue and tape. Then... lots of cutting usually takes place at the end.
(Just got home from the warehouse sale. The girls can't wait to get over to the table!)

Creative Art for these guys. Architecture.

Here is the village. They have blocked off an entire area of the toy room to be their town.
