Cooling Off

Doing yard work in this heat calls for a break to cool off!

Ice Cream

Ryland and Reed love ice cream!  A hot, lazy summer afternoon was just perfect to make a stop at their favorite ice cream shop, Milwaukee Joe's.  They had to eat fast, because it melts fast in 100 degree heat.

Visit from the Easter Bunny

Ryland, Reed, and Ridley woke to find bunny footprints and a trail of jelly beans.  They followed the trail from the pool bath door to the fireplace in the family room.  

They found fun treats in their new Easter baskets!  They were so excited to dig in.  The Easter Bunny brought a little candy, pool toys, and craft kits. 

CHCS Christmas Parties

Reed's class party was first thing this morning, so we had to arrive early for set up and a little decorating.  Reed loves stickers, so he was very happy with the tree craft.  In fact, he refused to do the class craft that we had prepared, because he was having so much fun peeling stickers.  His teacher told me he was one of only two kiddos in the class that can peel the stickers on their own.  She is quite impressed with his hand coordination.

Smiling while waiting for his breakfast, Reed is a happy boy.

Later in the day, it was time to party with Ryland's class.  He had fun making the Christmas crafts, but he was a little more interested in eating the craft goodies.

Busted!  Licking the tree icing is yummy!  Ryland's grin gives him away.  

It was a full day of fun, and the boys came home with tons of goodies.  Reed made a hand print ball ornament, and Ryland had a silhouette cut.

The Rudolph Hersery bars were a hit once again, and they turned out really cute.  We are definitely in full on Christmas spirit.  It was a wonderful day!

Easter treats

Tonight was all about prepping for Easter.  I stayed up way too late, but I got every bit of it knocked out.  The Easter cards came in today, and I have to admit the tent picture with the cheesy stuffed animals turned out pretty cute for Easter. 

 

 

After a bit of cutting, scoring, and gluing, the printable tags were all attached to the classroom treats.  The eggs are all stuffed, taped, and labeled.  Ryland's class is getting a foam craft kit.

 

 

Reed's class treat is egg shaped chalk and a carrot or bunny sucker. 

Finished Valentines

It feels like we have been working on crayon hearts for a long time, but I am so glad we got an early start on them.  Ryland and Reed have adorable handmade treats for all their classmates.  Happy coloring with love!
