Last Time At Cody's

It really surprises me how long kids will remember things. Every time they come to our house, they remember they want to go to the park...so that's what we did. We weren't there very long though. It was already getting hot out. They were excited they got to play for a little bit though, and the ones (more like Cody) that needed convincing about leaving the park, were bribed with otter pops :) Works every time.
So we came home, ate lots of otter pops, jumped on the trampoline a bit, and played with lots of toys. Some of the kids were really excited to watch Dora the Explorer as well.

Preschool at the Tiemans!

Stacey and I ended up switching weeks for preschool, so I had this week. I wasn't exactly prepared for Tuesday so we had a fun play day. They had fun jumping on the ever so popular trampoline, coloring outside with chalk and reviewing all the letters with some handy dandy flash cards. They all really wanted to go to the park, but I wasn't exactly feeling 100% and our fire alarms kept going off...again. I promised then we would go to the park on Thursday.






Thursday: The kids were so excited to make an art project out of our snack. I drew the letter "V" on their paper with glitter glue (yes, glitter glue makes everything prettier:) and then they added their Trix cereal to trace the letter. It was just long enough to keep their attention, and I think the food helped too. After a little bit of play time, it was time for the park. We walked over to the little park which is about a block away. I was surprised they all remembered how to get there from last time! Plus, walking there and back is great exercise for them...and me! :) I can't believe I only have one more day of preschool before summer! Time sure does fly!

R is for Rainbow!

We had a great time this week talking about the letter R and learning about Rainbows! We painted rainbows, made a rainbow out of Fruit Loops, and made a rainbow that had streamers on the end and danced with it to fun kids songs! And of coarse we played! It was the most beautiful weather outside, we spent most of the morning enjoying the outer doors!

First, thanks Jacy, one for switching with me and two for reminding everyone that we switched. I swear I'm loosing it somedays....with that being said, thanks for entrusting your dear little ones with me. LOL.

This week we learned the letter N, well tried to. On Tuesday, we made noodle necklaces and colored the "N n"wearing a necktie, and on Thursday, we made N books. In the N books was a page to trace the letter N n, and then pictures of "n" words...nest, nine, numbers, nurse, and Native American. Oh, and of course both days...lots of playing. Here are some pictures to document...
