Week of Aug. 27-31

Maggie brought us cupcakes to
celebrate her last day of daycare!

Here we are...the end of August...the end of Summer break!  Wow, where did time go?!  Maggie is officially done with daycare and spending the week getting ready to move onto the big world of kindergarten!  Justin and Jack will both be done this week as well!  I wish all of them and AWESOME first year at school!  I know they will all do great!

She will be greatly missed!

We had Music class on Friday with Tasha!  The kids got to play the drums and use the parachute while singing songs about jungle animals!

This week Avery and Ryan start full time!  They joined us for a couple days last week and had a blast.  They jumped right into our group and will be perfect fit!  They are both very sweet kids!  Avery is 3.5 and loved playing dress up clothes and Barbies last week.  She even found a bunch of Barbie Clothes from home that she gave us for daycare!  Ryan is 2 and loved the dinosaurs! He joined the 2 year old boy gang pretty quickly with Levi and Dominic!  Be sure to introduce yourselves to their parents, Karisa and Mike if you see them around!

 

This week we will be having a picnic on Tuesday, so be sure to send a bag lunch with your.  Don't forget to include a drink and put your child's name on the bag!  We will head to the park by 10am Tuesday morning, so have your child here by then!

 

Wednesday we will be celebrating Justin's birthday!  And Thursday will be his last day.

 

Erin will be here Thursday afternoon and all day Friday, we are ending the kids' summer break with an exteneded weekend at the cabin!  She will also be here part of the afternoon on Wednesday.  She did get a job at Turtle Lake Elementary for the fall teaching special ed, so we won't see her around as much, except on days off from school!  She is a great daycare teacher and was a blessing to have this summer!

 

I received our September curriculum in the mail last week, it looks like a lot of fun.  All the kids are looking forward to going "back to school" on Tuesday!

Week of August 20-25

Things are a little crazy around here sometimes with a newborn, so I apologize for the lack of blog post last week!

This week we have a busy fun week!  We had Travel Tots yesterday (Monday) and went on a safari to Africa with Ms. Jeanette.  The kids had a blast! 

Friday, we have Music class.  It was rescheduled from earlier this month.

Erin will be here this week Monday morning, Wednesday afternoon and Friday afternoon.

This week we have a new sibling pair dropping in part time before joining our group full time next week!  Be sure to welcome Ryan (2) and Avery (3) when you see them as well as their parents!

Wednesday-Meatballs, peaches, mixed veggies and milk
Thursday-Chicken Patty, oranges, carrots and milk

NEXT WEEK- we are going to do an end of summer picnic at the park on Tuesday, so bring a bag lunch for your child with his/her name on it, including drink.  We will walk to the park for the morning and enjoy our lunches down there before walking back for naptime!

Aug 6- Aug 10!

I hope everyone had a great week off, and a fun week with Erin last week.  The kids loved whenever I would bring baby downstairs to say hi!  They were all very fascinated (and terrified when he would let out a good scream!)  I am looking forward to having some great helpers!

Gavin is doing great.  He had to spend some time under a phototherapy blanket the first week due to his bruising during delivery causing jaundice, but other than that he is a healthy little guy who is already growing like a weed! 

I had a daycare interview last week and found two great kids for our fall group!  Ryan and Avery.  Ryan is two and Avery is three.  It will be great to have another girl around here for Kaia (Talon's little sister) to play with once she joins us!  Ryan and Avery will be starting late August.

We have three children leaving us for kindergarten this year and we will be sad to see them go.  Maggie, Jack and Justin are moving onto the big world of school!  We will have a little party before they are all done to celebrate their time with us.  To their parents, please let me know when their official last day will be so I can plan accordingly!  Thanks!

This week Erin will be here Tues., Thursday and Friday afternoon to help me EASE back into working full-time!

We also have music class on Friday with Ms. Tasha at 11:00.

MONDAY:Corn Dogs, baked beans, peaches and milk
TUESDAY: Turkey sandwiches, bananas, green beans and milk
WEDNESDAY: Cheesburger macaroni, pears, mixed veggies and milk

Last week I helped Erin get out the new slip and slide for the kids!  They had a blast!  Here are some pictures from our water fun!  We even had Freezies for snack to cool down on a nice hot afternoon!

Jeovanni finally figured out how to get some speed!
