Christmas Party

Whoa, it's been awhile. Sorry about that. We have been busy with Christmas projects this month and talking about Santa and helping others. We will be having a small Christmas party for the kids on Wednesday this week. Also heads up for next week, please write out a check for the week off and I will cash it at the end of the week (unless you plan to pay online).

Halloween

Another overdue post, sorry guys! We had lots of fun at our Halloween Party. Everyone had lots of fun in their costumes and we listened to spooky music as we danced, watched a scary movie, and did a fun craft. Hope everyone had lots of fun trick or treating!

Happy Halloween!

Welcome Macklin

This post is a little overdue but I'd like to take a minute and welcome baby Macklin! He is 3 months old and is Easton's baby brother.

Halloween

We will be having a Halloween party on Wednesday October 31st. Kids can come in their costumes (bring a change of clothing for nap).

Happy Birthday Ray!

Ray turned 1 this weekend and we celebrated on Thursday. Happy Birthday Ray!!

Frogs!

The kids found a frog the other day and caught it in the bucket and watched it for a bit before we let it go. Now they've been obsessed with finding frogs!

Titanic

She got up there all on her own and started doing this. We all laughed. She is a goofy girl!

Goofy kid

Someone tried to put their hood up on their own. This is the result:

Here he started whining and was getting upset.

I told him "say cheese!" and this is what I got lol!

Trevor is 5!

We celebrated Trevor's birthday on Sept 6th. He is already in school mode. Shortly after singing "Happy Birthday" and eating cupcakes he let me know that he was going to miss us at school!

Happy Birthday Trev! We will miss you once you go to school too :)

Easton is 2!

Happy Birthday Easton!! We had cupcakes on Friday to celebrate. Here are some pictures:

He went right for the frosting. No need for hands!

Goofy Boy!

Welcome

Just wanted to take a moment and welcome the new children coming to daycare. Ashton will be here on Wednesdays and Rachel will be here on Tuesday and Thursday Mornings.

I also want to welcome baby Macklin into the world! Easton is a proud big brother! Baby Mack will be joining us in a couple of months.

Next days off

Just a note that I'm taking off Friday the 31st and Monday the 3rd. Both are paid days off. Thanks!

First Pool Day

We had our first pool day a couple of weeks ago. All the kids enjoyed it!

Goodbye Emma

Last Thursday was Emma's last day. We are so sad to see her go. We had popsicles outside for her last day and sent her home with a shutterfly book of all the happenings while she was at daycare. We will miss her!

The whole group

Emma 

Group hug!!

Emma's Last Week

I am very sad to announce that this week will be Emma's last. Her mom has decided to stay home with her and the new baby. Good luck Emma and Family, we will miss you!

Ice Cream Truck

The ice cream truck came through the neighborhood last week and these girls had to dance!

Openings

Just wanted to let people know I have some openings for 1yr old and up. Let me know if you have anyone interested. Thanks!

Playground

So this is really late, sorry. Jason and I spent a busy weekend putting together a playground for the kids. We are happy with the finished product and the kids love it! Here are some pictures of them enjoying it the first day.

Tulle

My mom made some tulle skirts for the kids to play dress up. Here they are all dressed in their skirts!

As Trevor said "I'm so pretty," Yes you are all very pretty. 

Easter

Today we had a lot of Easter fun! This morning we dyed eggs with kool- aid. I've always just used Pas dye and have always been disappointed in the color. We filled each cup 2/3 full and put a kool- aid packet in it. Then dye your eggs. They turned out so good I will be doing this from now on. And they smelled so good! Then we headed outside for an Easter egg hunt. For lunch we will peel open our dyed eggs and eat them. Hope everyone has a great Easter weekend!

Grant

Each year I apply for a grant and was able to purchase a new outdoor swing set and some other things with it. Here are the things we got:

Shape sorting clock

Jumbo Puzzle

Wood kitchen toys. Some can be "cut" apart.

Tool set

Snow!!

Here are some pictures of the kids playing outside in the snow!
