Week of Mar. 25-29

HOLA!  We are back from vacation!  Our family had a wonderful time playing in the sand and jumping in the pool!  It was beautiful weather, a great resort...an al around awesome trip!  Now- back to reality!

Erin said things were great while she was here.  I love getting good reports from her about all the kids!

























This week we will be having an Easter Party on Thursday!  We will do a fun EAster craft make some yummy Bunny treats and have a little Easter Egg Hunt!  I wish it could be outside...so lets keep our fingers crossed for some warm sunny days to melt that snow!

Also Erin will be here again Wednesday Afternoon.  We will be taking Gavin back to the Dr. to get fitted for a cranial remolding helmet.  He has "Plagiocephaly."  Just a fancy, scary name for a flat spot on his head.  The helmet will take care of that and round out the back of his head so it can match the perfect front!!!  He will have to wear it 22 hours a day for about 3 months.  Here is a website with some info about it if anyone is curious or would like to be able to answer their children's questions about it.

Week of Mar. 11-15

Music class with Tasha was a lot of fun last week.  We sang songs about March coming in like a lion and out like a lamb!  The kids enjoyed Marching around and ROARING!  We also celebrated Talon turning 5!

This week we will be squeezing lots of fun into a four day Daycare week!

We are continuing strong with our bumble bees and butterflies theme.  This week we will be focusing more on the parts of a bee!  Did you know Bees have five eyes and two stomaches?!!

Thursday we will have pajama day!  The kids can wear their favorite jammies and bring a stuffed animal to cuddle with during nap and movie time!  Erin will also be finishing off the daycare day on Thursday for me.  Gavin has an early afternoon Dr. appt so instead of rushing back, I am going to take the afternoon to do any last minute vacation packing and cleaning!

Love this group shot!  Pretty tough to get that many kids all looking and the camera, let alone smiling at the same time!  What a great group of kids!

Our delicious Valentines Day treats!

Eating our heart brownies!

The heart straws were a huge hit!

Ryan definitely won the best dressed award!  So stinking cute!

March is here! Week of 3/4-3/8

The first week of March already!  WOW...time sure does fly!

Last week we were lucky enough to have two travel tots classes since her second one for the month of February was pushed back a week and then the first of March fell on that Friday!

This week we have Music class with Tasha on Friday!  The kids are looking forward to it already!

We will also celebrate Talon's 5th birthday on Thursday!  I just can't believe how fast all these kids are growing up!

Tuesday Afternoon, I have an appt RIGHT at 5:00.  If you could try to pick up by about 4:40/4:45 that'd be great.  If that is not possible, no big deal but when I have to leave the kids that remain at daycare will either stay here for the last few minutes with my mom, Linnea, or my husband Chris!

I will have newsletters and music for the month either today or tomorrow.  But here are a few important reminders for the month:

Finally some more fresh snow to play in!!!

What a great group of kids!

The kids had a blast playing outside last week!  I have seen great improvement in some of them getting all their own snow gear on themselves!  It is amazing how much faster we can get outside when they can do that!

Last Friday, had music class with Tasha and loved singing and playing instruments with her!

On Thursday we will be having a Valentines Day party!  Wear your best red, white or pink clothes in honor of this holiday full of LOVE!  Feel free to bring Valentines for all the kids.  There are 11 kids.  It is easiest if you just leave the name section blank and then the kids can just hand them out instead of trying to match names!  

This week Erin will be here in the afternoon on Friday.  My family is heading out early to get to our cabin for a nice long weekend.  REMINDER, DAYCARE IS CLOSED MONDAY, FEB. 18th FOR PRESIDENTS DAY!

We always find fun things to do even on the bitter cold days!
