May 27- May 31

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend with family and or friends!  That extra day sure does seem to make all the difference in the world doesn't it!

Hopefully we are in the clear as a group now for this horrible stomach bug that seems to be sweeping the state!

I am making a little change to this week's picnic.  We will be doing it on Thursday instead of Friday.  PLEASE SEND A BAG LUNCH (PREFERABLY IN A THROW AWAY LUNCH BAG) WITH YOUR CHILD'S NAME ON IT AND A BEVERAGE IN IT.  Aidan and Logan have Track and Field Day at school Thursday morning, so we will be walking to their school to watch that and play on the playground.  We will either eat lunch there or move to the park to eat lunch depending on how long the Track events take!  We will be leaving daycare at 9:00 in the morning, so please make sure your child is here and ready to go at that point.  If the weather is rainy/stormy...we will try again Friday.  But that day is forecasted to be a wash out as well!  Keep an eye on your emails and the chalkboard downstairs for updates!

Erin will also be here again on Friday.  For the summer she will be working all day on Fridays for me.  This gives me an opportunity to spend some quality time with my own children or head out of town early for some extended relaxation!

Week of May 13-17

Loves playing outside and standing up!
New found freedom!

We have had some beautiful weather finally and the kids have been taking advantage of every single minute of  it!  We love being able to be outside as much as possible during the nice days and will be saving the crafts for rainy days!

So proud of getting up to the slide on her own...
getting down is the hard part!

Nature walk!

Sidewalk chalk!  Such a pretty driveway!

Erin will be in and out of daycare this week.  My mom got in a car accident on Mother's Day and will be in the hospital for a few days with a broken neck and then eventually need some help once she is home.  So don't be surprised to see her sporadically through this week.

Tuesday we will be having PURPLE and BLUE day!  Wear as much purple and/or blue clothes to help us work on our colors for the month!

Friday we have Travel Tots at 9:00 with Ms. Beth!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day with their families!

Week of May 6-10

We have had a couple of crazy busy weeks, mixed with a teething cranky baby...I have had no time to update our blog!  I apologize, but that is life with 12 kids in the house!

We have had a great time getting to know Savannah!  Avery and Kaia have really enjoyed having another girl around here!

Talon the clown!

Peek a boo!

Ryan the Viking!

Dress up clothes have been a huge hit again!  It's nice to have plenty of toys to rotate between...it makes them new again if we haven't played with them in a while!








This week we have our monthly music class with Tasha on Friday at 11:00!  One of the kids favorite times!

Erin will also be here Friday afternoon, we are taking my mom up to Duluth for the weekend for Mother's Day!  I hope all you Moms have a fabulous weekend with your families!

We did manage to finish getting mulch down on the walkway as well as some stepping stones, should make using the path around back a little easier!
