Thursday 1.29.14 pictures (out of order days)

Watching "Horton Hears a Who" on Annie's computer with hot popcorn after naptime on Thurs...;)

enjoying Horton and the people of whoville

how cute are they?

Friday 1. 31.14 showing kids the blog and they each picked a color fish...

Friday...

Don't forget to feed your kid fish!!!

And now it is ........NAPTIME! I am the only one who is happy right now! hahaha

(The fish on the top of the blog don't show up on my Kindle so, you might have to see them on a regular computer)

SHhhhhhhhhh..... I'm hiding in the basement

I have to whisper.... I am hiding in the basement. There is a herd of wild horses, one baby spinning in a johnny jump-up with a bewildered look on his sweet little face and a mighty superhero, I think today he's superman...;D

I am actually in the basement hiding... well, throwing a load of clothes in the wash and giving my ears a break! Everyone has cabin fever and they are jumping and playing so I turned up Raffi really loud and escaped downstairs. I'll go back up when I hear some screaming... kidding!

We had bad and good news this morning, D.J. is sick and staying home but, Emma is coming today!
This has been a very long & cold week and I'm glad it's almost over! Everyone snuggle up, watch the super bowl and stay warm and well this weekend! (P.S. don't forget to feed the fish people)

Tuesday 1.28.2014

Great day today, all the munchkins are in good moods, it is still really cold out but the sun is shinning & the music is turned up!

We made homemade pizza today. Each child got 1/2 an English muffin and they spooned tomato sauce with some herbs mixed in onto their pizza, sprinkled mozzarella cheese and pepperoni on top. Garret and I had sliced mushrooms on ours... Then we baked them
and while we waited the kids made salads by putting washed and cut up lettuce on the plates and they had a choice of ranch or thousand island dressing. We also had strawberries & milk with our salad & yummy home made pizza's

Thursday 1.21.14

Ok, I guess I will probably be a day behind...
We had a great day and a wonderful time making our African bowls with our homemade paste (flour & water) They cut the paper, played with the paste and made the bowls for over an hour!

I would like to have a few moments of silence for the

lowly but most wonderful "Dum Dum" sucker. This little

glob of colored sugar can make a child happily clean up,

small ears seem to amazingly work, bickering is silenced...

thank you "Dum Dum!"

playing restaurant

awesome lunch of mini cheeseburgers, pineapple rings
and cooked carrots & milk with all the kids having seconds...:)

How our day went today

Tues. 1.21.14 Baby it's cold outside...;~D

We had a great day today, lots of being silly and making messes.

For lunch we had mac & cheese with hot dogs, cooked carrots, pickles, fresh cuties (mandarin oranges) milk and vanilla wafers... every kid ate like they were crazy hungry with second and third helpings!

I hope you are all able to get on the blog, if not I will resend the link which I understand will only last 30 days at a time... I guess because it's private?

I am working on a weekly "which kid is here today" kid list so you will know... which kid is here on what day!

I have a huge world map I hung up for our week of "children around the world" and the kids loved it! they would go up to it on & off all day and point to where Minnesota and they were and then where all the other places in the world the other kids were...:)

I figured out how to make the text bigger so you can actually read it

Tomorrow we have 4 year old Kam, Kalie & Garrett, 3 yr. old D.J. and Miles

Pictures from today still to come, goodnight and stay warm!
