The Fair is over...the streets are filled with school buses...must be BACK TO SCHOOL TIME! Even though this marks the end of summer, the kids are all excited! Aidan is off to 3rd grade, Logan to 1st (excited to be full day and eat lunch at school!) and we lost Maggie, Jack and Justin to kindergarten! Good luck everyone!
The rest of us are also BACK TO SCHOOL today! Our September curriculum is here and we will dive right in today! I love our school time each day and so do the kids! I will send home my monthly newsletter with info on our theme for the month and what we will be working on either today or tomorrow! I will also send home a copy of our music for the month. As always I will be glad to take donations of blank CD's or cases/sleeves to put the music in!
We had a great picnic in the park last week, thanks for sending lunches, the kids all loved them! We also celebrated Justin's 5th birthday, as well as his and Jack's last day with us!
I got news last week that Ms. Jeanette, our travel Tots teacher got a full time teaching job at St. Johns, so will no longer be with us. Our new teachers name is Miss Beth. We will be meeting her on Friday morning at 9am for our first travel tots class of the month.
MENU:
Monday- LABOR DAY
Tuesday- Ravioli, peaches, bread and milk
Wednesday- Rotisserie Chicken, applesauce, corn and milk
Thursday- Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, pears, mixed veggies and milk
Friday- Chicken Nuggets, green beans, apple slices and milk
FOR SOME REASON IT IS NOT LETTING ME LOAD PICTURES, SO I WILL DO A SEPARATE BLOG POST WITH PICTURES FROM LAST WEEK!

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.
MENU:
MONDAY:Corn Dogs, baked beans, peaches and milk
TUESDAY: Turkey sandwiches, bananas, green beans and milk
WEDNESDAY: Cheesburger macaroni, pears, mixed veggies and milk
THURSDAY: Ravioli, garlic bread, fruit cocktail and milk
FRIDAY: Tacquitos, corn, grapes 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!

Week of July 16-20
ALMOST MADE IT!!!
Well, the plan from the beginning of this pregnancy was to induce labor on the 19th or 20th of July, and here we are! That week is upon us and I have made it despite an impatient child trying to join the daycare group a little early!!! At this point, induction is scheduled for early Friday AM. So next week DAYCARE WILL BE CLOSED for the week to allow me to come home to a quiet house and have a little bit of bonding time with the new little man and the family. Daycare will re-open on Monday, July 30th with Erin here full time that week.
*Even if he comes in the next couple days, we will most likely stick to this schedule, keeping daycare open with Erin here the remainder of the week and closed next week.
*I have stopped Electronic payments for next week's direct deposit clients.
Last week we had a lot of fun with both our Travel Tots class and our music class! This is such a nice opportunity for the kids to have a little change of pace from our everyday routine! Our Travel Tots class for next week will be rescheduled for the following week.
We also enjoyed an afternoon in the sprinkler on Wednesday. Some of the kids are a little apprehensive about the water splashing them in the face, but it is a great way to cool down! Hoping to get the water slide out this week for the kids to play in!
MENU:
Monday- Chicken nuggets, fruit cocktail, corn and milk
Tuesday- Scrambled eggs, toast, applesauce and orange juice
Wednesday-Ravioli, garlic bread, apple slices and milk
Thursday- Tacquitos, carrots, bananas and milk
Friday- Ham and Cheese sandwiches, green beans, pears and milk

71 things your child needs to know before Kindergarten!
I found this blog post this morning and found it insightful. After having two kids through kindergarten, I agree with most of the items on the list.
Just thought it would be a good read, especially if you have child starting this fall or next!

Week of July 9-13

| Red, White and Blue Day! |
 |
| Swimming in the WARM water! |
 |
| Building an invention in the sand! They were so proud of their accomplishment! |
Last week, the older kids got to take a special field trip to Long Lake Beach for some swimming time during nap! They had a lot of fun! Even though the water was quite possibly warmer than the 90 degree air!!!
The whole gang had a great time keeping cool in the wading pool and sprinkler last week! I hope to get the big waterslide out soon for a special day of water fun!
Friday morning, we have music with Tasha at 11:00. The kids really look forward to these classes and have a lot of fun at them!
Erin is scheduled to be here this week Monday, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. And Also Wednesday morning.
No real news at this point on the baby front. Still playing the waiting game! Could of course still be any day, but the latest being induction on the morning of the 20th. Another Dr appointment this week on Wednesday.
I filled one spot with a 3.5 year old boy, Brody, who will be starting mid August. His brother, Max, (who will be starting kindergarten at Bel Air in the fall) will be with us for 2 weeks before school starts as well! Then after Labor Day, Kaia, Talon's little sister will be with us! I will still have 2 spots availalble after Labor Day for 2 years old and up, so if you know of any one who may be looking for care, please be sure to pass along my info!
