Just some plain ol' FUN!!!: Twister Hop Scotch, Swing Time, Paint a Box (that the diapers came in-why not). I asked if the red-head on the box was supposed to be me.....Nope, thank goodness...lol!

Caption Slide Show:

Carly says, "Hey Melanie, I think I found something you might like"

Carly says, "Ya, here play with this"

Carly says, "Come on Melanie, take it....You like it!"

Week in Review: 7.20-24.09

This week in Cr8tivITY......

Bates Nut Farm


Menifee Water Park (@ friend's house)


Other stuff we did:


Nature walk w/ bags to put interesting findings and discuss when we get home. Dominoes. Tricking Melanie to sit up by playing piano. Kenzie made "cones" they used as megaphones, unicorn horns, ice cream cones, hats and much more. When its too hot to play outside we turn on the Wii and WiiFit...ever seen 3-7yr olds doing yoga? Beads. Safe tickle wrestling.....Matt still getting used to my boys style of wrestling. Water days...and making funny faces.

Tissue Box Puppets

Yesterday was Tissue Box Puppet day at the library. They ran out of tissue boxes so Matt and Kenzie used paper bags (which I thought to be MUCH easier). Unfortunately, Shane missed it, but rest assure he was having fun with much needed one on one time with Nana.

Here is what they created:




I am most impressed and proud of Matt 'cause he did EVERYTHING all by HIMSELF!! Yes, Kenzie did too but this is expected for her age (however, she did decorate her puppet like a pro). Matt colored, cut glued and placed all components! Everyone did EXCELLENT! Love you guys!
