A full house tomorrow-Drew, Owen and Elsa will be here for the day. We have had a great morning! Lots of outdoor play time and long walks around the yard, too! Harrison decided to dust off his trombone while we were outside and played some tunes the kids knew-I think their favorites were Ths ABC Song and The Star Wars Theme Song!🎶 Our September curriculum came today and we can't wait to get started with our new Buttercups curriculum! Lots of learning and fun will be coming our way! After lunch, we enjoyed story time and listening to stories about pandas, vacations and a silly book about always dancing! We just LOVE story time! We are prepping for our three books a day so we can complete 1000 Books By Kindergarten!📚 Have a great day!

Graham started today!😄 New friends and lots of smiles! Graham is settling in so well! We had a lot of free play so everyone could explore! We played inside and outside. We practiced walking to the bus after breakfast and learning the rules of the bus stop. I think they are going to do a great job next week!! Enjoy the pictures from today and pretty soon our big kids will be back to school and it will just be our littles here!!! Where did our summer go????
New schedules start on Monday so we have a week to get into the groove of school schedules! Breakfast will be served at 7:15 and clean up will be done by 7:45. We'll be walking to the bus stop every morning as a group! Rainy and wet Friday fun! Graham was going to stop out, but then something came up and they didn't. We made a quick stop at HyVee to grab a few things for our weekend away to the cabin. Once we were back home, we enjoyed blanket fort building, show and tell and lots of silly rainy day fun!☔️ We had a silly lunch to go with our silly day! While at HyVee, they thought lunchables looked good, so everyone picked out a lunchable for lunch!😄 It really is the simple things that make them SO happy! After lunch, we read our three books and then it was nap time for the littles. The older kids are finishing up the read alone time and then they will start their Friday Flix! Have a great weekend everyone!
Show and Tell tomorrow.Our Summer Olympics water day looked to be a washout this morning with the storms, but we rode it out and the sun finally decided to make an appearance!☀️ Charleigh and Ava are missing out, but we're hoping the fun will still be going on after nap time so that they can enjoy a little water fun, too! We passed the time with indoor play, blanket fort building, story time and a show of Dinosaur Train. As many squeals as I am hearing, it was worth the wait!💦
Weekly payments are due tomorrow morning. Friendsday Wednesday fun!!! Today was the last Friendsday lunch at the library and Little Ceasars donated all of the pizzas for lunch-yummy!!!!🍕 Connor was here today to celebrate the end of this summer event with us. At the end of lunch, everyone got m&m cookies, so we headed to the park to enjoy them and to have fun playing outside. Harrison and Tori are volunteering at the library today, so we left them in town so that we could come home and rest. We will be going back into Ely at 3:15 to pick them up. It will just be a quick stop and then back home again. Stay cool today, it's getting warm out there!☀️
Connor will be here tomorrow. This weather is playing games with me! I was ready for a fun water day and then it was cool, cloudy and even had a few sprinkles! We didn't let the cooler weather keep us inside, but we decided to move our water obstacle course day to Thursday, instead (high of 90-so we should be ready for cold water fun)! After playing outside for awhile, the kids said they wanted to go somewhere, so we loaded up for a quick country drive. We weren't sure where we were going, but ended up along the Cedar River at a boat landing. We saw a couple bringing their boat in from fishing and we saw a boat drive by us. It was neat to watch them all observe the river and look for animals. It was a quick trip though and then we were back home and eating lunch. We read three books about heading back to school and had lots of giggles about Miss Amelia Bedelia and her first day of school. Enjoy the pictures!💗
Connor visits Wed. Happy Monday! We took off this morning to go to Lindale Mall for the Lego Exhibit. The kids LOVED seeing the statues! They were very impressive! After a good walk around the mall, we headed out and made a stop at Theisens (the kitties were out of food). Of course, we got our popcorn fix while we were there! I heard several times, "I'm tired"...so we're down relaxing right now after some outdoor play time and lunch. More big news (and a surprise for some parents), we're starting to make the switch from crib sleeping to big kid nap mats!!!!!😳 Charleigh and Ava will be making the switch this week, then Graham will be starting the switch next week and Rylan will follow up the next week! They are big kids now!!!! So far, Charleigh is a pro at it!! She snuggled right in to her new big girl bed and room and fell right to sleep!!! I was expecting to need to lay next to her for awhile, but she was ready for her nap!!!😴
a gorgeous day to play outside!!! We had fun inside and outside today! Show and Tell was a hit with cars, a butterfly baby, a teddy bear and a trophy! We hope this nice weather sticks around, it was so nice to get so much fresh air today-I'm sure we'll nap well this afternoon! Enjoy your weekend!
Tomorrow is Show and Tell.Thursday fun at the library! The library was extra busy with kids today! We played in the children's area first, then enjoyed story time and a craft. We made postcards for our craft. The library also sent home coloring posters for each kiddo. Charleigh even picked up her prize from winning the kids drawing for the Summer Reading Program! Today is Luje and Sophia's last day here. We've really enjoyed having them back for a few days! We did get a little bit of outdoor time in, but that heat and humidity made our time outside shortened-it sounds like tomorrow will be nice, though!
Weekly payments due tomorrow morning. We went outside right away this morning, trying to beat the heat! It wasn't too bad and we made it until 10:30, but then the mugginess set in. We released the peafowl, so don't be alarmed by huge birds wandering around our acreage! We enjoyed some craft time and then everyone ate a great lunch! After quiet book time, story time and cleanup, we got the littles settled down for naps and then we decided today would be a good movie day with the heat. Minions it is!!! Have a great afternoon and stay cool!
