Bubbles and Outside Time









Even though it was very hot today, the kids wanted to go out and chase bubbles. Since my bubble blowing skills were lacking today and I couldn't be fast enough with the camera I didn't get shots with bubbles and kids in them:)

Finally Outside!

We had a fun afternoon playing outside today. It has been either too cold or too wet to play out in the backyard so we all enjoyed ourselves today.
It took him awhile to feel comfortable on the trampoline. But, before we came inside, he was jumping and having a great time!


Laughing at the others on the trampoline

"Look at me!"




L girl shrieking with joy!

More Pics From The Week

The tent was a huge hit today. All of the kids were so excited and there were lots of shrieks and giggles all morning.

A. spent a lot of time just hanging out in the tent

All four kids really enjoyed playing "icecream man".


So much fun watching them play this morning.



We Have A New Princess!

Introducing, Princess L!
Playing "pop puzzle" together



L just loves playing with this chain toy. This is the toy she always chooses to play with first.



The kids enjoyed walking on the paths I made them




Everybody find an orange square! L can't find one:)

Scissor Practice

The boys each made a "Lucky Red Envelope" for Chinese New Year.

A. stopped long enough to look at the camera while learning how to use scissors



I told J. to "freeze" while I took this picture so he really wasn't cutting by himself. The little boys are not ready to use scissors by themselves yet but they both did a great job learning how to hold them and cutting while I assisted them.

M's turn. I stayed close with him and guided him as he cut

Fun Waiting Time

Our library has been recently remodled. The kids section is fantastic! The furniture, check out station, bathrooms, etc are all "kid sized". While we were waiting for the "Library School" to start, the librarian showed us the two new computers that just arrived for kids. M. and J. spent time playing on the computers and then joined A. on the super fun climbing blocks. A. didn't want to leave the climbing blocks so I will try to get him on the computer next week:)


Library School For 3-5 Year Olds!

M. with his finished craft

The teacher showing A. how to paint with the glue



I took this picture through the window. J. loved spreading the glue


I took this picture as I was getting ready to walk out of the room. J. kept looking back at me




J. and A. are now able to go to the library class designated for the big kids (3-5 year olds). This is the class that M. has been going to for two years. I have been talking about this with J. and A. for weeks now and today was the big day! J. and A. both sat through the stories (with a little wiggling) and they both participated in making a craft. This particular class is set up so that parents/caretakers leave the room in order to get the kids used to separating and get them ready for a classroom type setting. All three boys did very well and as usual, were three of the best behaved kids in the class:). There are windows so parents/caretakers can see how the children are doing so the boys didn't know that I was spying on them.





Daytime Fun



The three of them are really starting to have a lot of fun together. Here they are playing "Cars" and having races with each other.
