Painting the deck with water, having backyard picnics, drawing with chalk, and watching more birds in the trees have been some of the activities filling our days lately. We have enjoyed spending most of our time outside...eating and even sleeping for some of us. Today Asher and Collin fell asleep in the hammock with Audrey....a very blissful sight.
Please send in any recent photos you may have of your children with you in the picture, as we are working on our photo books about families.

LOVE

LOVE.

One of our themes this month along with the color red, bears, and family.

We are painting/coloring/creating with red, making red play-dough, eating red things, searching for red toys and objects around the house and in the yard.

We are learning each others' names, working on an Apple Blossom photo album, and making pictures with various shapes on the flannel board.

Amanda, with Stories-To-Go, shared books, songs, and activities about frogs.

Karen Day from Educare came today and brought us a bag of transportation themed toys and activities. This inspired enthusiastic play with boxes that became trains, cars, and boats for the children to climb in, push, and pull.
