The B is for Butterfly

This week in Preschool we talked about the Letter B and Butterflies. We made tons of different butterflies. The life cycle of the butterfly is my favorite. We made it out of different types of noodles. Now onto Caterpillars :)

Lizzie's Drawing of Daddy

I just love Lizzie's drawing. We have about a million drawing go through this house daily, but I just love this picture. Lizzie told me this is a picture of Daddy when he used to have hair :) I  just love my girl!

Kids do the darnest things

I had just gotten out of the shower with the girls making sure their hair and bodies were clean. I was in the process of getting dressed and helping Madison get out of a mess she was in when I hear screaming children. I ran towards the screaming and who can it be, but Lizzie and Krislynn screaming a death curdling scream. Can you guess what they decided to play with in the shower? They decided to put shaving cream over their entire bodies and faces included. The shaving cream got in their eyes, and they were freaking out since it was burning. Oh the joys of being a mother!

Madison is Crawling

I can't believe she is crawling. I'm trying to enjoy each moment of each day with her, but she is just greowing up way too fast.

Preschool Pictures

Since we started school we needed to take pictures. I think they turned out pretty cute. I'm excited to see how  they develop their writing skills, and all the fun we are going to have.

Preschool Started

So I finally did it. I started my own Preschool and the kids are having a ton of fun. We started with a Bug Unit and the letter A. We talked about ants, we read books about ants, we made fingerprint ants, we made egg carton ants, we sang songs about ants, we counted ants. Now onto the Letter B and Butterflies :)

Katrina

This is what Insanity plus Cub Scouts does to Katrina!!!!

Bath Time

The girls just love their baby sister Madison. They thought that Madison would like to play Hide and Go Seek. So they covered themselves with Daddy's towel and would all hide under the towel and then pop out! 

Oh girls!!!

I guess Lizzie had a bad dream so she decided to snuggle Krislynn in her bed. Oh I just love moments like this!

The Jurassic Classic

One day we were heading into Lizzie soccer game, and I saw a drawing for a free entry to the Jurassic Classic so I entered David by placing his business card in the bucket. A couple days before the race David called and and told me we had won, and that I would be running the race since I entered his business card. I convinced him to run it with me, and we had a great time in the mud together. I love spending time with my Davie :)

Free Samples

My girls love to go visit their Dad at work. Since he works in the construction business there are always a lot of great things to see at Whitehead. The other day we walked in the cabinet department and there are a zillion different kinds of samples on the wall. Of course the girls love free stuff so they helped themselves to some samples. Then the girls continued their adventure in each department and collected a variety of samples. Lizzie's favorite sample was a piece of glass, but as she was getting in the car it fell and chipped. She was so sad that her dad had to bring her a new sample from work the next day.

Soccer Season has come to an end

The Lions had a great season. Lizzie won an award for best goalie. She loved being the goalie and did her best at not letting the ball pass her in the goal. This is Abram Lizzie's great friend from soccer. We just love his family. Abram has the hugest crush on Lizzie and always gets so shy around her. 

What great little friends :)

Our Farm Unit

We started a farm unit today working: on animal sounds and colors, writing our letters and reciting their sounds, and then working on a collage of animal placing them from smallest to largest. We also talked about where milk came from and we are going to make a graph of what milk is preferred: strawberry, white, or chocolate.

stART Project

I found this book as I was looking through the girls bookcase, and thought I would do a stART project with it. This is such a cute book about a cow that only knows how to oink, and a pig that only knows how to Moo. We starting working on a farm unit, and this stART project worked perfectly.
