Week of Mar. 12-16

Last week we had such an amazing week playing outside whnever possible, despite teh melting snow and soppy grounds!  We headed to the park one afternoon for a change of scenery!  We also played up on the driveway with the bikes and balls.  Both of these are regular occurences during the spring when the back yard is attempting to dry out!  24 little feet trampling the ground makes for a muddy wet backyard!

Our backyard is snow free at this point.  So as long as the weather stays mild and we dont get any more snow, there is no need for snow pants.  Boots are still recommended since there is still a lot of dirt/mud out there.  They can be rain boots or snow boots, whatever.  And tennis shoes are fine.  Just know they are going to get dirty FAST...so I would not send any new ones you want to stay white!

We also celebrated Talon turing 4 last week.  He loved his birthday crown and of course getting to be the line leader in for snacks and lunch!  He couldnt wait to get home to play with his new power ranger toy!

His cupcakes were delicious!!  Thanks for sharing with all of us Talon!







THIS WEEK AT DAYCARE:
On Tuesday, We have show and tell.  Bring one piece of produce to share.  We will look at them all and talk about the different kind of things we can grow in a garden and them make a yummy snack out of them for all to share! 

Thursday, Chris and I (and the boys!) have our big 20 (actually 21) week ultrasound in the afternoon.  So Jesse will be here from 2-5.  Make sure to introduce yourself to her when you come to pick up.

*PAYMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK OF PAID VACATION IS DUE THURSDAY MORNING.  YOU CAN POST DATE A CHECK FOR MONDAY, MARCH 19 IF YOU WISH OR JUST DO CASH.  IF YOU ARE ON DIRECT DEPOSIT, YOUR PAYMENT WILL GO THROUGH AS PLANNED.

Friday, Jesse will be here all day from 7-5.  If you know ahead of time that your child will not be here that day, be sure to let me know so I can inform her.  Otherwise call my home phone number to let her know.  I will not be reachable until the afternoon, as we will have left very early and won't be using phones unless it is an emergency.  You can write me an email if you need to, but I wont be checking it until late afternoon, or will only respond while on vacation if it is absolutely neccesary.
