Snow Day

On the 2nd of March, we received quite a bit of snow causing school to be canceled on Monday.  Thankfully, the temperature was not too bad and the kiddos were able to go out and play!  Julianne and I stayed inside and watched out the window.

Dallas decided he was a bulldozer and was making paths all across the yard

Reba was also making paths...or just crawling around with Buddy

Of course, the best thing about playing in the snow is to come inside and sit on the register all wrapped up in a blanket.  A cup of hot chocolate helps too!

We also practiced our letters in the "snow" (aka: salt)

Dallas was pretty proud of his "Mm"

and Reba had to show off her "Pp"

After finishing our letters, Dallas decided to make a snowman in the "snow"!

Needless to say, the kiddos slept great that afternoon for naps, went back out to play in the afternoon, and slept like rocks that night!

Until next time...

Happy Hair

Before Christmas break, Dallas' kindergarten class made their own Happy Hair people while they learned about the letter H. Thankfully, the teacher took them home and kept them watered so after the holidays the "hair" was growing!  The kiddos were able to bring home their Happy Hair in early February.

The teacher told them they could even give Happy Hair a haircut!  So the next morning before going to school, Dallas had to give the little plant a trim.

I forgot to take an "after" picture, but I'm sure it won't be long before Happy Hair needs another trimming!

Until next time...

A...B...C...

Easy as 1...2...3...

Doug mentioned to me last night that I had not posted anything new in a week!  I said that there wasn't that much that had gone on in the last week, but I grabbed the camera off the shelf and downloaded almost 40 pictures - so apparently, we had done something.  Mainly, the kiddos have been playing and learning with these magnet letters.  Dallas is really catching on and loves matching the same letters; Reba, she loves to sort the colors and could care less about the actual letter.

Until next time...
