Monday

Breakfast: whole grain choc chip muffins, milk, banana
Lunch: periogies, apples, cheese slices, pb crackers, milk

All ate well for both meals.

Today has been interesting (I can tell it was a busy weekend) Bryce and Tristan were fussier than usual but I'm pretty sure that is just from all the changes that are going on.

Paige has decided to strip throughout the day today. She refused to keep her pants on. Everytime I turned around she was half naked! haha

Hayden has been saying his "you know what" hurts and he was excited to pee in a cup for me (so that's good to go for the doc appt today.) Hope all is ok with him! I'm sure it's nothing big.

We sang our songs and the kids did some acrobats "on me" heehee. Then we did sticker art, Bryce's is very intricate (he has a story to tell about it) Daddy you have to ask him about it when you get home it's so cute!

We also did the weather and calendar (yeah for February!) The kids were upset when I took down January though :-(

We read a funny story about a dinosaur (it was like mad libs) but instead the kids picked up A and B cards and said what picture was on the back. I hammered A and B in their heads today and even sissy and Landon said A and B (well Landon says A)

Then we went on a puzzle piece hunt and put all the pieces together and it made a pterodactyl (Bryce said pterodactyl right away) The rest of the morning the kids put together puzzles (it's been a while)

the big boys played upstairs for a half hour after lunch!

thursday

Oh man, I left my camera down in the basement (where Tristan is currently sleeping!) and I took some pics too :-(

Breakfast: poptart, milk, banana,
Lunch: pb and marsh on high fiber bread, apples, cheese slices, milk (All ate great at both meals, Tristan ate a whole sandwhich and just kept asking for more!

It was a bit of a rough morning (Bryce and Landon didn't get their right sleep so they were pistols and I can tell Tristan is big time missing mom and dad (wanting to carry his puppy around everywhere and crying if he doesn't have it) Sissy and Hayden have faucets for noses today (and Hayden's been carrying around his barf bucket all morning) He asked for it during breakfast but so far nothing. Don't worry I'll call you if he actually does throw up!

The kids did play well for the most part though. They were just loving the ball pit downstairs and they also watched the new Disneyland movie (which they LOVE!!!) Sissy says "more Mickey Peas!"

We took Bryce to and from school

We did our songs and danced (Landon and Paige were really into it today) We did the weather, calendar, and date, We also talked about diosaurs and Tristan did the one the kiddos did earlier this week. We talked about triangles and the color yellow. Everyone colored dinosaurs. Then we read lots of books.

The big boys played up in Bryce's room for a little after lunch and all were napping by noon!

breakfast: pancakes, milk
Lunch: mac n cheese, fruit, yogurt, cookie, milk

All ate well for lunch. My pancakes must have been bad because Paige was the only one who ate any!

Can you say snot city today!! Everyone has a snotty runny nose today (especially Hayden) so much for no sick kiddos! Hayden also was peeing a lot today (5 times in a hour)

We learned new songs and had a blast singing today! We learned about pterodactyls and how they fly. We made one and pretended to make them fly. We did the date and weather. We also learned about yellow and what is yellow in the room. We finished out lesson off by playing a dinosaur fossil hunt game.

I blew up the ball pit for the rest of the morning they had a blast!

monday

Breakfast: choc chip pancakes, milk
Lunch: mac n cheese, yogurt, pb crackers, mixed fruit

All ate well (except Paige didn't eat much lunch because she ate a ton at breakfast!)

Great morning! All the kids are in good moods and are healthy !!!! Yeah! All played very well together and we had a great time during school.

We did the weather and date of week and month. We talked about the stegosaurus and Bryce and Hayden had practice today with cutting (Bryce is actually getting it while Hayden tried but then wanted me to do it) The cut out triangles and counted them and pasted them on their dinosaur. Then they colored them. We talked about the word forgiveness (but I think it was over their heads a bit) We played our dino memory game (they love it!) and sang some songs and danced.

Great day!

Put everyone down at noon (Paige cried at 12:30 and I checked on her and she pooped her pants) She told me princesses do not sleep in poo!)

Breakfast: poptarts, milk (Tristan had a banana too)
Lunch: pb and marsh on wheat, applesauce, cheese slices, milk
All ate well Tristan didn't have any milk today

Tristan had a huge nasty poop (so I think he should stay away from milk today.

All is well this morning. Took Bryce to school then spent the morning playing (which they did very well together). We did do the calendar/weather and sang our new songs. We also talked about the numbers 5 and 15 (Hayden says 15 is fiveteen) We pretended little squares were dinosaur fossils and collected 5 fossils for one container and 15 for the other one. We also colored a little. Everyone except Landon who is still up with me seemed super tired at noon and all went down without a fight. Paige had a super poop right before bed.

Breakfast: m & m pancakes, milk

lunch: pb and marsh on wheat, banana, cheese, milk

All ate very well both meals

Well it was another crazy morning. Bare with me (it's been a rough week with my kids which makes watching other kids tough) Bryce has gotten this attitude this week (and it just occurred to me he is 3 and a half now and every year since he was 18 months he goes through a rough patch at the half mark (oh boy!!) Landon on the other hand is opposite and never went through a tough period at 18 months but he is definitely giving me a run of it these past few weeks now that he's almost 2!!!

So we tried to do our curriculum (but I found myself yelling more than teaching) We did do the weather and date (and sang 2 songs before Bryce started body slamming Landon) Then Bryce and Hayden played the game of memory (but it was with dinosaur names) they did a good job at pronouncing them.

Next we talked about fossils and came upstairs (this was the best part of the day) All 4 kids loved playing with play dough and we made some pretend fossils by rubbing leaves on it.

It was nice out (45 and sunny) so I thought the kids would love to run outside for a half hour or so (nope!) I got them all bundled up and Landon had this huge breakdown outside (seriously from the time he started outside and ended inside I think it was 45 minutes straight of crying. Paige seemed happy, but Bryce and Hayden weren't playing and just kept telling me they were cold. so after a whole 5 minutes we came back inside (somehow got lunch ready while all 4 screamed!)

Finally after lunch we had calmness and I was able to bath all 4 kids and put them down for naps.

Ughhh, now I need to go nap!

tuesday

No pics today (sorry!) We took Bryce to school this morning and then we went to Walmart and walked around (Hayden and me wanted to go to the mall too but Landon had a breakdown after Walmart). So we came home for a half hour and played. We did the calendar and weather report (just for Hayden) Didn't do any other curriculum since Tristan wasn't here this morning and we always repeat the lesson from Monday.

Breakfast: poptart, milk
Lunch: mac n cheese, yogurt, banana/oranges, milk (all ate very well)

Great morning all in good moods and best yet no one is sick (not even a runny nose!!!! yeah!) Hayden and Bryce played well after Lunch in Bryce's room (they are soooo good sometimes)

Tristan got here around 12:45 and went right to sleep (he looked pooped!) hoping he sleeps until Gammy picks him up so he can feel better!
