Memorial Day Holiday

Parents~
Just a reminder that daycare is closed on monday for the Memorial Day Holiday! Hope you all have a fun and safe holiday weekend! See you on tuesday!

Eva's Wacky Hair

Ryan (my cousin) was holding her while I took a pictures so she would hold still for one second!

Too Cute!!

Yesterday when Eva got up from her nap, this is what she looked like! It was her own wacky hair day!

Just Hangin' Around

We have had a couple of calmer days this past week. I took a couple of pictures of the kids just hanging around and enjoying each other's company!

Costume Creations

Sean showing what a ham he really is in his awesome butterfly wings!

Lexi has a wonderful ensamble...combat helmet and fuzzy high heels!

Look at that teamwork!! William is helping Sean put on his wings!

Eva is showing her perseverance... she will get that shoe on no matter how long it takes!

Lexi is showing her awesome accomplishment...She put the glove on all by herself and got the fingers in the right places. That is a tough thing for such a little girl!

William is taking his turn with the butterfly wings!

This kids absolutely enjoy playing with the dress up clothes! Here are some more photos!

~~ Parents, I am always looking for more dress up items.. things that we don't already have. So if you know of someone getting rid of something that would be fun to try on/ dress up in, please let me know!

Note to Parents!

Don't forget that daycare will be closed on Wednesday May 13th! I will be using a vacation day on this day!

She's a big girl now!

Makynna pushing the "walker" toy around the room and doing a wonderful job! It won't be long before she is walking on her own!

Spaghetti Lunch!

Spaghetti is really funny!

Eva can't shovel it in fast enough!

Makynna is lovin' her spaghetti!

(L-R) Sean, William, Jasmin, Makynna, Eva, Lexi, Hayden








On the days we have spaghetti for lunch, it is quite messy but the kids absolutely love it! Here are a few pictures from the last time I served Spaghetti!

Little Cutie Pies

Jasmin trying to do the same thing.

Hayden showing how cute he can be!

Lexi is smiling big after playing in the back yard all morning (hence the dirty face)!

Eva was really enjoying the snow but the sun was too bright!

On this day, Eva was having such a good time crawling in and out of the dog bed!

Makynna is thinking "man, being a baby is tough work"!

Lexi giving me her best "cheese" smile!

Jasmin loves to be outside, no matter what the weather. One of her favorite winter activities is eating snow. She made this snowball all by herself especially for that!

Makynna sleeping while sucking her thumb! She is such a little peanut!

I took this picture of William quite a while ago but I just love this one!

William giving the baby kisses!

William showing his sweet side!



Here are some pictures that were just too cute not to post. This is my last "catch up" post. From now on, I will post any pictures or funny stories as they happen! If there is something else that you would like posted on here that I haven't already, just let me know!

Keeping Us Busy!

Play Dough Fun! Occasionally we make homemade play dough too!

Coloring together on the Aquadoodle Mat. They use water pens to write on this special mat. When it dries, it disappears and we do it all over again.

Jumping in the leaves! One more activity that we do outside!

Jacob and Hayden are coloring a picture.

More Dolly check ups. Lexi loves the stethoscope and William is taking the temps!

Little Eva figured out how to put the stethoscope on all by herself! She is quite proud that she figured it out!

This is assembly line check ups for the babies. Lexi is running the stethoscope, William is giving shots and Hayden is taking their blood pressures! All the dollies are in perfect health now!

Lexi is listening to the baby's heart. She gave her a clean bill of health!


Abby is the caller in a great game of Clifford's ABC Bingo! The older kids love this game and it is great for the younger ones who are practicing their letters!

Puzzles are always a favorite of the kids! They are getting really good at these! I have had to dig out a harder group of puzzles for them! Puzzles are great for fine motor development and brain development!

William is finger painting on a Valentines Day project.

We do lots of different activities at daycare. Here are a few pictures of some of the things that we do that I have included in a different post. There are many more activities that the kids do on a daily basis. I will try to get some pictures of these things and post them for you all!

Easter Egg Hunting

AJ helping Jasmin get an egg down that she can't reach!

Sean stretching as far as he can reach again!

William found another egg!

William showing how full his basket is!

Sean stretching to reach that egg before someone else finds it!

Sean finding another egg on the steps!



On the major holidays, I try to plan activities for the kids that relate to the holiday. This past easter, we had an easter egg hunt outside. The kids had so much fun looking for the eggs and afterwards, finding out what was inside their eggs!

Shhhh...little people need rest!

Eva also sleeping bent in half. You wouldn't think that would be comfortable enough to sleep like that.
Eva fell asleep in the swing! At this age, she was known for her 15 min. cat naps in the swing!

Hayden, William and Jasmin during naptime! Bailey loves to snuggle with the kids and take a nap too!

Makynna must have fallen alseep while sitting up since she is sleeping bent in half!


Nap time is a very necessary part of our day. It gives the kids some down time to rest and re-energize themselves. It allows them to spend some quiet time on their own without other kids. It also gives me the one and only break that I get to take during the course of my 11 hour + work day. It is a good (and necessary) time for all of us! Some of the pictures in this section are some funny pictures of how I found some of the kids sleeping while I was checking on them!

Birthday Wishes

Birthdays are a very fun time! We have had many different birthday treats brought to daycare! Here are a few pictures of some of the past birthdays that we have celebrated!
