April 2015 Pictures



I have no idea where he got the idea to try and eat lunch like this today, lol

We talked about farms and the different animals on the farm, focusing on different animals each day...
We used this toy for "Old McDonald Had a Farm"
"5 little ducks"
She found my boots and decided to walk around in them :)



He styled his hair with hand soap today!
We talked about the difference between handsoap and hair gel and styled his hair after ;)


....And then there are those who prefer yogurt to style their hair! lol
Getting all cleaned up again, silly girl!



Yes, these snow/picnic pictures are in the SAME month and literally 4 days apart!! I guess we got the best of both seasons in April!

 
Okay, sooooo when you have some crazy, muscle man doing tricks on the playground with his shirt off (my kid's dad, Jake), the little boys decided they wanted to do tricks and show off their muscles as well. Usually I keep them clothed, but figured "what the heck?!" for today while they exercised...they sure had fun trying to do tricks and handstands....
This little guy was trying to imitate Jake who was practicing "the flag" in this same spot
Something helpful when learning to do handstands is to push your legs against someone's hand and it helps you learn to balance. This little guy rocked  it!
 

Little one teaching the big guy a few of his own tricks...
Oooh yea, he's one tough little man!



Being tough is hard work, time for a rest...

 



This started out as a bunny ears Easter craft, but the older kids decided to make their own creations instead! Their ideas were probably more creative and better than mine ;)




Some of them did enjoy their bunny ears though! :)

A paper purse


Dance Party!....tends to happen when these ladies are around!





This bubble machine is one of my new favorite things!!...and the kid's as well!




Continuing with our farm theme, we read "Marvin Gets Mad" and made these cool sheep





"Sleeping bunnies" song, A FAAAAAAAAAVORITE!!!

Throughout the song they need to "go back to sleep" and then they "wake up" and hop around!





Don't let them fool you, they have A LOT of energy and can do this song AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN!













"If all the raindrops" Song




We talked about birds, so the "5 little ducks" came out again...
These birds are so cool, when you squeeze them you can hear the individual, unique song of each bird!

A fun science activity was making these ice sculptures...they would make them stick/melt with water and salt...
