A typical afternoon walk.

Here is a glimpse into our daily walk to the bus.
                       Usually someone is a little slow to start the walk (or just doesn't want to walk).
Someone usually wants to go before we are ready! (I don't know if you can see Oden way up ahead; he seems to be in line with a fence post). 


                                        We wanted to make some snow blocks for our snow fort.
                                                       Anthony is working hard!
                                           Look at that load of blocks that Allie is pulling!
It sure was a nice sunny day!  Hope we get some more of these before the muddy spring weather comes!

Be sure to check out the photo of the children with our snow fort in the day care.  I am so impressed with how the children work together with the snow block maker.  They tend to make an assembly line and someone builds blocks, a few people carry them, someone places them and someone packs snow in between.  I am really impressed, especially before or after school when there is such an age differencce in the children, how they all work together for a common goal!

Painting

The children enjoyed painting this morning for art.  Bronwynn was too busy writing her list, so she didn't paint!
                                                             They are all hard at work.
                                                          Here is the whole gang!
 After painting was done, Allie rounded up the children for her own circle time.  She was telling them a felt story.  I love how they all sat down for her and listened.  Later on, she even let Lillian and Bronwynn have a turn being the daycare teacher!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Heart shaped cheese and bacon sandwiches.
                                           Here's the gang in their Valentine's Day best!
                                            A little treat - cupcakes for dessert.
                       Here is my healthy snack!  Using a heart shaped cookie cutter, I cut watermelon.
                                           And natures own little hearts - strawberries!

Another Snow Day?

Better late than never.  I took these pictures last Friday, and just haven't had a chance to get them on here.  Enjoy some scenes from one of our snow days!

Parachute Fun!

Another cold morning today.  Will was able to drive the school age children to the bus, and we baked some cookies for afternoon snack.  Then we got the parachute out.
 The children were so excited.  We learned a few new games with the parachute, but they mostly enjoyed just shaking it!

Nail Clippers!

I love how Allie and Lillian took turns with the doctors tweezers and pretended to clip each others nails.  They were able to squeeze the tweezers off their fingers or toes and make a little "clip" sound like nail clippers.  They also "clipped" my finger nails!  Great imaginations!
