Under Cover Agent-baby

She's not going to like that I am blowing her cover on the blog, but the undercover agent in this picture is actually BGM! Her sister sent us this picture of her (truthfully it was her photo editing job) with her mullet and sunglasses and apparently she is going by the name MacGruber.

Master Builder

This little guy has always been great at building without any instructions at all.  This barn with two horse stalls is very symmetrical and the colors are even in patterns.  Needless to say we have our money's worth out of these Duplo blocks - all three kids love to build with them.

Learning Fair 2013

Look at this crazy expression! This little girl is showing us her Learning Fair exhibit, "Float or Sink? What do you Think?" Abby had fun dropping things in a tub of water to find out what would happen and then learning why they did float or sink.  There were lots of great exhibits even though participation was completely voluntary.

Jaws...Kindergarten Style

The kindergarten classes have been learning a lot about the ocean.  What most people do not know is that an ordinary toilet paper roll can become your very own shark. ARM brought home this cute little guy that she made at school and I told her a little bit about a movie called "Jaws" after her dad "sang" the famous music from it.  She says she is not ready to see it just yet....

Messy Play Day at the Library

Whoever thought up "Messy Play Day" was a genius.  What a hit for the kids, and the parents, too! In this picture, EMM was having fun making designs on the table with shaving cream.  BGM was not as into this project because she does not like to be messy and kept asking to have her hands wiped.  Not EMM!

Good Find

Love seeing these two play together... On a recent trip to the craft store, they collected flowers that were on the floor of the store and tossed them in the cart.  The saleslady told them they could just keep them and they sure were happy! Now...time to make hats!

A Tiny Turtle

EMM has been hard at work again...and this was while his preschool class learned about the letter "T." They read a Franklin story to go with this and from an egg carton, came up with a tiny turtle!  I love those creative preschool craft projects.

Driveway Daredevil

What is one of the best things about the house we are renting? The sidewalks and long driveway! ARM, EMM, and BGM have been racing around on their hot cycles every day it has been warm enough.  And I think when a house is smaller, an outdoor space is so important.  When the house is smaller the kids run outside to play a little faster...or maybe it is their parents shoving them outside the door more often? Either way...the nice covered patio with porch swing and all the sidewalks are being enjoyed A LOT by our kids.  Just watch out when you are outside walking - you may get sideswiped by this boy who can really pick up some speed!

List Maker

I really like how ARM added #8 to this list.  Shouldn't we all?
