No Hudson today.

Hudson went to have a fun day with his Grandma Lach today. We all missed him, but had a lot of fun together.

For lunch, we had sausage & cheese pizza, broccoli and bananas. Grace ate her "trees" right away. The other two threw them on the floor almost as soon as I set their plates down. Turkeys!!

I brought the swing out for Grayson today.

coloring...

We colored with crayons last Friday. The kids hadn't asked for them in a while... I guess forts are more exciting!





This was Delaney's first time using crayons. She's used colorwonder markers, but tends to eat the crayons. I think she did pretty well. Definitely a paper we'll be keeping!

Fun Fort

Last Friday, I made the world's simplest fort for the kids. They thought it was fantastic! We had snacks in it. When Hudson asked if they could take a nap in it, I laughed...doubt anyone would sleep! :)

I also rearranged in the living room to set up the pack-n-play for Grayson. He's growing like a weed and wouldn't fit well in the travel bed soon. I guess it's his fort for the day. Wouldn't want him to be left out!

CHEESE!!

Snow & Snacks

After nap, the kids heard someone running a snowblower. I opened the blinds so they could see the neighbor's driveway being cleared. Delaney and Gannon kept calling the guy daddy. I guess all men bundled up and covered in snow look almost the same. :) Since they didn't want to miss out on the excitement, we had snacks in the living room today. The kids made themselves cozy next to the window to keep a watch on the snowblowing.

Play, Play, Play

What a fun day with 5 cute buddies!!

Happy New Year!!

After Christmas break, it was good to have all the kids back today! I know Hudson and Delaney missed their friends, and I missed them all, too!! Happy 2010!

This morning, we read Christmas books, watched a Christmas show together and had a red and white lunch.

Watching "The Backyardigans" Christmas episode

For lunch we ate all red and white things. Extra cheesy pizza, pears and bananas. As a little extra present to Gannon, I served two fruits and no vegetables today!

This afternoon, we're having cookies with Christmas sprinkles. I'll bet the kids love them!

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas! Thank you again for sharing your children with me. They make my days so much fun!

Wonderful Wednesday!

After our snack in the morning, the kids decided that under the kitchen table was an excellent fort. It made me think of all the forts I built when I was younger. One of these days, we're going to have to get out blankets and make a big fort in the living room. I'll bet everyone will love it!





In the afternoon, we made paper wreaths for Christmas decorations. It was fun and we talked about circles and colors. I brought out a few different kinds of ribbons and let everyone choose. Oh, my goodness, I have never seen the kids think as hard as they did picking out their ribbon for their bow and hanger. I love how even small decisions are taken so super seriously. It was pretty funny.

Proud of their projects! :)

Catching Up...last Friday...

Last Friday, Hudson spent the day with his Grandma and Gannon spent the morning with his dad. That means Grayson was very out numbered by all the girls! Lots of bracelets and babies and not many cars or racetracks.

Loving his little sweater. It has a really cute matching hat. :)

Mmmm, yogurt!

Digging in.
