Today I met the kids outside . I just hate to waste such beautiful mornings. The kids come in smiling . I have a cup of warm coffee in my cup ( with extra french vanilla creamer ) and life is good. Today they were having a bubble bonanza. I bought a tub of bubble […]
Some days are diamonds…
Some days are.. not. Ten minutes after opening the door this morning one of our little friends puked in the floor. After lunch today … Poop found its way to the floor with little feet trudging through it all over the room. Ahh….. Deep breaths. 🙂 As Pete the Cat says ” The moral […]
Show and Tell !
Today seemed as hectic as yesterday. Both days there have been three of us here and we all have felt a little CRAZY! 🙂 Maybe it’s the weather change ? The kids havent been BAD ( whatever your definition of that might be ) . They have just been very busy and very … very… […]
Holy Guacamole ! What a day !
Today hasnt necessarily been bad. Randy had an important task in Springdale this morning at 930 so Dallas and I were on our own. For some reason mid morning I decided to let the kids help me get lunch together. We made homemade pizzas on whole grain english muffins. That went really well but left […]
Outdoor classroom
Today I greeted the kids outside and we stayed there until lunch time at 11:30. Unlike most outdoor play areas for children our area has almost everything we have inside as far as centers goes. There is sand and water. There is dramatic play. There are blocks. There is an art area with painting. […]

Pineapple upside down cake cooking !
Today has been another hectic day. I am not sure why other than Dallas wasnt here and I have gotten rather used to her extra set of hands. But close your eyes now and imagine cooking with 16 preschoolers . That can make things seem just a little chaotic. The kids love cooking . Usually […]
Even our skin is unique

If you’re happy
One of the first things we did this morning was make name bracelets. The children picked the letters of their name out from MANY letter beads on a tray and matched them to a card to make their name. Then Ms Dallas helped them string them on […]

Today many of the kids brought their baby pictures to share. We talked about the fact that everyone starts out as a baby. I used to be a baby and even Randy used to be a baby. We were also able to explore the thought some mom’s have […]
