summer is here

we have broken 100 for the second time already. that means this summer is going to be horrible. i went ahead and pulled out the little kid pool today for the first time this year. they had so much fun. i have much more blogging to catch up on, but i can't get out from under all this work. i have had so much i have been working nonstop, no breaks and not much sleep. here is a little video from today.

emergency vehicles

we talked about emergency vehicles this week. it really became more about firetrucks though. i didn't have a lot of time and i also didn't find a ton of stuff. so we only did a few things.

we went to the fire station and they got to drive a firetruck.




we did a firetruck craft.






and of coarse, all of the books about firetrucks, police cars and ambulances.

wee ball game 2

you will probably get tired of the wee ball posts and pictures if you aren't a grandparent, so sorry in advance. but i am doing this to document their lives, so eh.

the young guns had their second game last weekend. it was a gorgeous sunny day. not too cool, not too hot.















and here is what it usually looks like trying to get these pictures:

noah's ark

our theme this week was noah's ark. the site i have been using for most of their crafts doesn't have biblical themes so i kinda of made some stuff up this week. i searched online for crafts but only found sites that you had to pay to be a member of. so i copied some pictures i saw, etc.

we played a searching game where they had to find two of each animal to put on the "ark"



we made an ark out of popsicle sticks.






we read lots of noah's ark books.


we played an animal matching game to match the animals up to go on the ark.


we had a noah's ark lunch.


and we painted a rainbow.

mother/son bowling night

our church does all of these fun events for kids 3 and up, and i have been so excited that the kids get to go this year. this past weekend was mother/son bowling at primetime. it was fun, but he still isn't old enough to really do it. he loved it though. the metal thing that rolls the ball for you was being used so i just had him push it down the lane. he giggled and danced around every single time.

wee ball - first game

we decided to sign mason up for wee ball (t ball for 2-3 year olds) this year. he loves to play and thought he would enjoy it. we also thought it would be good to put mason and sawyer in something of their own that they would enjoy. sawyer is going to do dance this summer.

so mason had his first game this sunday. it was in the forties and during nap time, so it wasn't the best start to the season! but it was still fun. we are looking forward to sunny morning games for the rest of the season though!
