TuTu

Although she doesn't seem thrilled here, McKenna
loved her tutu that Aunt Chuckee MADE from scratch and sent for her birthday!

Field Trip

Austin's class went on a field trip to the Health Exploration Station in Canton.  They learned all about the body and senses and got to explore many things!

The two cop's kids shooting everyone else!

Amazing how well a group of 3 year olds listened!

5 senses... Smelling the mystery jar

Ready for their taste test

I heart Sunny days

We took advantage of the sunny weather and headed to the park with some friends!  The kids had a blast playing and having lunch together.  Spring Fever has set in!

Craft corner

I have been inspired by Pinterest lately, but sometimes feel like screaming "what kid of kid actually lives in that house and uses that spotless craft area???!!!"  

I thought I would post our little project, made possible by Drew, so you could see where real-life kids play!  No offense meant to any of you that do have a gorgeous art area that you manage to keep clean and perfect with a 1 and 3 year old :)

The new pegboard painted to match the existing table and chair.  We will fill this with cute buckets and things once IKEA get them back in stock!

The corners weren't perfect right angles since we (Ok, who am I kidding here... We = Drew) used scrap wood that we had at home, so we put art utensils in each corner to cover them up.

This is an IKEA magazine rack that I used to hold coloring books Austin's new letter book.  Click HERE to see more about that.

The craft corner... for real kids.

Our last tour, Celestial Seasonings Tea!

Dream Cakes Bakery

The owner of Dream Cakes Bakery was kind enough to let 25! preschoolers and siblings see what happens at a bakery and decorate a cupcake and TWO cookies!

First step was decorating the box!

Pressing fondant for decoration

The "egg" cookie

I think the boys had enough of the girly bakery stuff!

Plymouth Ice Festival

Well, this was about a month ago but just found these pictures.  

It was a cold but beautiful day.

This is what Thursdays and Fridays look like in my crazy house!

Austin being a crazy 3 year old 

Crazy smiles from Kenna

Dada going crazy before Mama gets home

Not sure if they are really all happy at this moment or just covering up the craziness!

McKenna Walks- *Video Fixed!

Making Valentine's

Austin made his first Valentine's for the kids at school this year.  He picked out Hot Wheels and wrote "H's" on the back of each one.

The Girls

Austin "walking like Kenna"

Bike riding in February?

Hartland Pool

She knows she should be laughing but really she wants to just cry...

Fine, I'll pose... but last one, PLEASE! 

This guy seems like a nice stranger to attack

Horsey ride

Happy 1/2 Birthday Austin!

Technically it isn't for 2 weeks but Austin got to share his half birthday at school today.  Since he has a birthday in the Summer, today was the big day to bring in Rice Krispie Treats and Juice, wear the birthday crown AND sit next to the teacher at school!  What a lucky guy!
