Wednesday

 Wow I kept these kiddos busy busy today!  We had so much fun and I honestly can say there were no tears shed or tantrums made!  All kids were in super duper excellent moods.

Oh where to begin.....

Poops:  Alexa 2, Oliver 1, Elliott 1
Potty:  Elliott so far peed in the potty once, hoping for another before nap today.

Everyone at good for breakfast and super good for lunch (must have been all the activity of the morning)  Oliver had his packed foods with yogurt and grapes and bananas added in.  He is so good at feeding himself!  I served chicken nuggets (all natural) with cheese slices, yogurt, fruit, and pb crackers to the other kiddos.  Wow they LOVED the nuggets (I had to cut off Alexa after she ate 6!!!)  She kept saying and signing for more!  She ate all her grapes, cheese, yogurt and crackers too!  Def will be making the nuggets a once a week option.

So we started the morning with going outside since it's suppose to get really hot today.  We went outside from 8-9:30ish.  We did water balloons (was a big hit and alexa kept saying "pop" and Oliver kept saying "bawoon"  the older boys had a nice battle with them.  Then we swung, played frisbee, at the water table I put bubble bath in and that went over well, I also got the bubble machine running. 

Then we went out to the driveway and rode bikes (well Alexa pushed a stroller) and Kobe and O were in love with the wagon.  I put the elmo sprinkler on during that time.

Then it was time to go inside and strip out of wet clothes and get ready for "school" time.  we sang our songs about the rainforest and Bryce got out the parrot puppet to our parrot song.  Alexa and O got really into the songs and dancing.  Then Wendi came out and we did the weather (they love her)  she got lots of kisses.  WE talked about the sun and hot weather and what we need to wear when it's hot.  Then Bryce told us the day of the week.

I read the kids 3 facts about monkeys in the rainforest and then we read a book about a monkey.  We talked about what letter monkey starts with and what color a monkey is.  Then practiced the spanish word for monkey "mono"  Um yeah so Alexa and Oliver say mono better than they say monkey ha!

Then they did a monkey craft and we talked about what monkeys eat and counted bananas and fed our monkeys.

After that we had free play time in the basement and got ready for lunch time. 

After lunch the kids played in the play room for a bit while I cleaned up lunch and ate myself, now we are all down in the basement, the big kids are playing dinosaurs while the little ones play basketball with all the balls. 

It's just about time to clean up toys and get all 6 down for nap time!
