JURY DUTY-I will let you know what tomorrow looks like as soon as I know! Mondays aren’t always the most fun as we all get back into routines, but when it’s winter, we have snow and it’s warm enough to play outside-it’s a GREAT Monday! We didn’t waste any time getting outside this morning. We had free play while everyone arrived with the doll house and dragons and then we shared Show and Tell before cracking down on a little project time. We finished up our January curriculum and made a snow globe about all of what we learned this month. Then it was time to enjoy the fresh air! The wind was a little chilly, but it wasn’t too bad. The kids ran, jumped, went on the slide, went swinging, used the teeter totter and played baseball! 😂 They were everywhere and did everything! Fresh air is always a great way to start the day and week! We came back inside around 10:30ish and then had fun with barrels of monkeys, look and find books and manipulatives while listening to silly songs that Alexa picked out for us! For lunch, we ate chicken taquitos, corn and applesauce. Before snuggling in for naps, we talked about Valentine’s Day and read SNOW VALENTINES and BIG HEARTS! ❤️

Watch for a text this evening to let everyone know what Monday and Tuesday will look like with Jury Duty-fingers crossed I get the recording to not show up!🤞🏻🤞🏻 Woo hoo-all 6 kiddos we’re back today!!!! It was so nice to have Emmie’s giggles and Blaire’s singing while we drove to snd from preschool today! The girls had a blast playing this morning while the boys were at school. And playing is exactly what the doctor ordered, so we just turned up the tunes and enjoyed having everyone back together again. ❤️ Once we were all back home, we made ABC pasta with meatballs (a HUGE hit), sliced oranges for orange smiles and cooked up some green beans. Before settling down, we read SCAREDY SQUIRREL🐿 and JACK B. NINJA🥷🏻
JURY DUTY-I’ll send out a message after I make my call in after 5 pm tomorrow to see what Monday and Tuesday will look like for daycare Preschool fun day and we are almost back to everyone being at daycare! Blaire should be returning tomorrow and hopefully everyone will be here again! That was a long month of sickness…hopefully we can all stay healthy now!🤞🏻🤞🏻 The kids all got to play outside at preschool, so their gear is here and drying out now. They were all so happy to be back with friends at school. We came home and ate chicken and rice casserole, fresh fruit and we had a slice of bread with butter, too-yummy! Before snuggling in for naps, I read DANNY AND THE DINOSAUR. Benny remembered me saying it was one of my favorite books as a kid, so he looked through it, counted the pages (64) and asked if I could read it again. ❤️ Enjoy the heat wave-sounds like colder air is back later tonight!
CLOSING AT 4:30 TODAY 🏊🏻♂️ Burrr. I will say, it has been nice having warmer days sprinkled in with these bitter cold days (I really hope I didn’t just jinx us all and put us into a two week long deep freeze)!🥶 So glad we got outside yesterday to burn off some steam. With the late start today, we didn’t have a lot of time to be stuck inside. We made the best of it and made homemade playdough. We decided to make it blue and add glitter to look like a cold snowy day. Since everyone seems to have a lingering head cold, I added lavender and eucalyptus oils to it so they could breathe in to help with coughs and congestion. The lavender was for my sanity….peace and calming with an indoor day!😜 For lunch, we had chicken nuggets, fresh strawberries and yogurt. Before snuggling in for an afternoon siesta, we read THERE WAS A COLD LADY WHO SWALLOWED SOME SNOW!❄️ I’ll see everyone early today so we can get on the road to Washington for the start of the meet at 5!
THIS WEEK~ We’re slowly getting back to a full group. Ellie is back today and we hope to see Emmie and Blaire towards the end of the week. There still seems to be a cough/head cold going through as well. We had a slow start to our morning with later drop offs (Mondays are hard some weeks), but we enjoyed some indoor free play until everyone arrived and then we cleaned up after sharing our Show And Tell (OVAL) and then we put on the snow gear! It wasn’t as warm as we had thought it would feel, that wind was rough, but it was nice to get out and breathe in fresh air and dig caves into the snow drifts! Maddox and Benny are certain BIGFOOT lives nearby because they found HUGE footprints! Some even went towards the barn, so they think he may live in our barn (or maybe Harrison had some fun in the snow this weekend while doing chores?!?!😂) since we only had 3 eaters today, they each picked out a food and that’s what we made for lunch. Maddox chose fish sticks, Ellie chose carrots and Benny chose bananas. For story time, we did the same thing, they each chose a book for me to read. We ended up reading DANNY STRIKES OUT IN AMERICA, CLIFFORD’S VALENTINE and MAY I PLEASE HAVE A COOKIE? It sounds like the winds are picking up some more, so stay warm out there!
MONDAY- Show and Tell OVAL A two hour delay made our morning fly by! It was just the boys again today, Ellie is still home out with a low grade temp and feeling crummy. The boys wanted Legos out and so we did some serious building! For lunch, we had homemade chicken and noodles with peas, carrot sticks with ranch and applesauce. We read ROCK AWAY GRANNY, EVERYBODY LOVES BUTTERFLIES and SPLOTCH. In the Rock Away Granny book, they danced to the Bunny Hop, so after C we read our books, we danced around the house to the Bunny Hop, too! Have a great weekend and stay warm!
😷 The girls are still out, Ellie should be returning tomorrow and Maddox joined us today It was a preschool day so just little man here this morning. Him and I had fun shaking maracas and making music. He loves to stand and wiggle! We loaded up and went to pick up the boys after he snagged a little cat nap. For lunch today, we had pizza rolls, fresh fruit and corn. We enjoyed having tge sun out and shining in on us during lunch. Before snuggling in for afternoon naps, we read. FRIENDS DON’T EAT FRIENDS and MINDI AND THE GOOSE NO ONE ELSE COULD SEE. Ask the boys what they learned about starfish and what Mindi got in place of the goose!
😷Only one family here today, 2 out with Covid and 2 out with coughs (I’ll let you know when I know more) Another day of just Crew for the morning! Him and I took Benny to preschool, stopped and got gas and came home where it was warm—BURRR, that air is COLD out there (and I hear it will be colder tomorrow)!🥶 Crew was busy all morning before snagging a short morning nap and then we were off to get Benny again. We came home and made lunch (PB&J, cheese bites and apple slices) before reading some books together. We read ME…JANE, HORSE POWER and WHATEVER HAPPENED TO HUMPTY DUMPTY? We’re getting snuggled in for afternoon naps now.
Apologies for no posts at the end of last week-I wrote them, but apparently didn’t post them!🤦🏻♀️ We gained two back, but lost two in their place! The Peterson boys are back and Crew has really changed since we saw him last. He’s crawling, standing and busy, busy, busy! It was a quiet morning for Crew and I, as the kids were all at preschool. For lunch, we had french toast bites, yogurt and bananas. They all scarfed it down and said it was YUMMY! We read LOLA AT THE LIBRARY and COOKIE MEETS CARROT before snuggling in for a little afternoon siesta. We’ll be heading out as soon as everyone is picked up for a trip to Waterloo to cheer on the Jayhawks. 🏊🏻♂️
Bi-MONTHLY payments due 1/15 Yea for sunshine and warmer weather! We gained another kiddo back today-Maddox is back and feeling better. We took him to preschool and then came home to play kitchen. We then put half of our winter gear on so we would be ready to play outside after preschool pick up. We snagged Maddox and came home to play outside! The fresh air, sunshine and giggles is just what we needed! ❄️ We stayed outside for quite awhile and pushed our lunch time back-we just didn’t want to come inside! Everything is drying by the stove now and our tummies are full. We ate ravioli, corn and peaches. We laid down much later than usual….but all of the fun outside was worth it!☀️⛄️❄️💙
