Today's photos

Addison polishes a brass bell I found at the thrift store

She uses toothpaste

Alanah

Charli


Charli takes good care of her baby, she is covering her up

AJ stayed with this for probably over 10 minutes, and she is still intently concentrating

Charli's turn

Alanah and Charli

She knew just what to do from watching Addison :-)

All rinsed and nice and shiny- thanks Boog!
Alanah and Addison with the brown stair

They started to build a tower with the brown stair. For "something special" I let them do it

We talked about safety

It was so cool, I let Alanah add more by standing on a chair

This was the last block (only 1 was left over) It took several attempts to get it up there without falling off

I love the expression on Alanah's face, she was pretty sure it was going to fall ~so she was quite pleased when she had balanced it this time :-)

Wow! Boog has the last piece, there are 10 altogether~~ and yup one fell on Addison's head!

Lelia, Phaedra and Joey have arrived~~ Lelia's turn to polish


A bin of blocks for Joey to use with his pick-up truck


Addison with the magna-tiles at the round table

The truck and blocks were moved into the playroom and Joey built a garage. Alanah waits patiently with the dolls Phaedra brought to share. Boog has a  basket of carrots


Lelia, she is putting on her sandal
Brian leads the "what's missing?" game. This time they were all beads, so they had to guess which color was missing

Brian covers them. And takes one away. And they guess which one

  Before this game they had made up an obstacle course using all the mats they are sitting on


They enjoy playing many rounds of this game, it is fun and it is good for cognition skills too

Charli

Addison, Alanah, Joey digging, and Lelia

Phaedra, Alanah, Addison, Joey and Lelia



Addison, Alanah and Joey. They would fill the containers with water and carry them over to the sand

I love teamwork and cooperation :-) 

Phaedra blows a bubble using her hands

Phaedra demonstrates another cool bubble trick


Phaedra and Alanah

Addison rakes

Charli wants to climb the ladder



Phaedra and another bubble

The black raspberries are ripening

We can't get at these ones behind the pool fence but luckily there are other black raspberries which we can reach We decide the birds can have these ones :-)  Speaking of which the birds are enjoying our blueberries and cherries too :-)
