Our day to day activities...

We've been keeping very busy with at home activities and lots of park outings recently. I'm still rather intimidated to do any sort of extensive outing since starting babysitting, so we've been mostly utilizing the nearby parks as our way to get out of the house - but hoping to get more adventurous soon! The kids have also been finding themselves enjoying the backyard...


Preschool Time- chocolate chip cookie counting...


Chores!...


Claire enjoying the park, while chewing on some receipts :)






Preschool Time - shapes!...


January craft - paper tube stamped snowmen. I refrained from helping the kids at all with this - sometimes it's nice to just let them go at it, without any care as how they will look in the end. I should have taken a picture of the finished product, 'cause they were pretty amusing. Jake's snowman looked like it was throwing up yellow snow. ;)

Becca and Emma took the project pretty seriously...




Jake, on the other hand, quickly moved on from painting a snowman, to painting his paper tube...


Claire sat nicely in her hairchair observing. She really is such a sweetie...




Emma participated in their school fun run last Friday afternoon - she really loves running!...


Preschool time- sink and float...




More park time - we've been park hopping recently and trying out some new ones... this one had swings - and Claire got her FIRST swing experience! She absolutely loved it...




Claire has started making this funny face sometimes when I feed her - it doesn't seem to matter what food it is - I don't think it's an "I don't like it" face, because she happily continues to open up her mouth and doesn't spit it out - so I don't know what she's doing it for... but it makes me laugh...

  1. There's certainly nothing wrong with a good outing to the park. When the kids are here again they can go with me to sit on a blanket in the woods and have a picnic (probably every day). Hopefully that will be fun.
    I think it's neat the way you have them do crafts so often. I prefer to see what kids can make on their own too. The results are so much more genuine and more likely to become a special keepsake.
    I can't believe Claire was on a swing!
    I liked the video of her eating too. She was really funny.
    Thank goodness you are faithful with the blogging, or we would miss out on so much.

  3. Kaitlyn just watched this video of Claire three times. "Awww," she said, "I want a baby like that!" :) Congrats on your race; I am impressed. That view at the end is amazing!
