We read Curious George Takes a Train and 5 Little Monkeys With Nothing To Do today. We played with oobleck (cornstarch and water) which becomes this melt-y drippy substance as it changes from solid to liquid in your hand-- mesmerizing stuff!

The kids decorated some egg shaped paper with markers and bingo dabber markers.

We went out this morning and I have to say the wind made it really cold! Especially after our really warm weather the other day! The sun was warm when the wind died down luckily, but still :-)

Today we listened to Ode to Joy. They looove it so much they requested to hear it 11 more times, yes they listened to it 12 times!! They jump up and down, clap and cheer and applaud at the end. It is truly amazing and cool to watch them!!

I do let them watch the screen because we talk about the instruments and the people's faces. We watched this several months ago and they loved it then and I was pleasantly surprised to find that they still do!

The weather keeps improving! I hope we are on a trend!!! Brendan brought his Frozen soundtrack cd for us to listen to today- thanks!! The cushions were stacked and climbed on and all the pop-tents: tunnel, firetruck and basketball hoops were out today. We got outdoors from shortly after morning snack to shortly before lunch so over an hour this morning and we will go out after our next snack as well.

Just a few outside pictures today, sometimes I need a break from the camera!


Brendan hoisted this over but threw it down before I got the shot. It is for a bike ramp but they love dancing on it as a stage and also as a base for sand creations


Daniel loves to throw rocks and pebbles into the woods




Daniel is strong he actually pulled Brendan for a little ways!
