Eva Turns 2 Years Old!

Today was Eva's 2nd birthday! She brought cupcakes to share for afternoon snack. Everyone really enjoyed them but I think Eva enjoyed them the most, judging by how much was on her face.

Good-Bye William

This past friday was William's last day of daycare. He is movin' on up to big boy stuff and going to the after school program with his friends. We will definitely miss him as he has been with me since the beginning. I have watched him grow from an infant learning to crawl to a big boy off to kindergarten. There have been many memories in that time that I won't soon forget! We all hope William has a great time as he continues to grow and make great new memories with all of his school friends! Good Luck William! We will miss you!

Happy Valentine's Day

For this special day, we spent the morning making special cards for our parents with their child's handprints on them. In the afternoon, we had a little party at snack time. We had sugar cookies with pink frosting and sprinkles on them and red juice. (The colors of the holiday). After that, all the kids that brought valentines, passed them out and put one in each person's bag to take home at pick up time! I think all the kids had a good time.

Here Camellia tasting the toys on the walker...i think she feels like she's missing out at snack time since she couldn't have the sugar-filled cookies. (She had her snack before the big kids)

Here are all the big kids with their cookies...except Kristopher.

I didn't realize that he had went to the bathroom when I snapped the picture.

Here is Eva eating the frosting side first!

Fun During Naptime

On this day, Camellia was getting picked up a little early. Since all the other kids were down for nap in the toyroom, she brought her toys and played in the livingroom with me. She had a great time until mom arrived to pick her up! She is just too cute!

Sing It Like A Rock Star!

We have these balls and sticks that are magnetic. The kids use them to make all sorts of creations. This time, Eva put them together like you see in the pictures and started singing into them. She, obviously, has experience with a microphone! She sings to us all the time but this is the first time she has made something like a microphone to sing into! These kids are so smart and funny!

It's Snow Fun!

We like to play outside every chance we get. There hasn't been as many days this year, because of the extreme weather conditions and not all the children bring all the proper snow gear with them each day. But we have had many fun times in the snow! On this day, I just happened to remember to bring my camera along out with us to capture some of the fun!

Snow on the slide and nylon snowpants makes for one fast ride down the slide!! (Sean)

Another ride down that slide. After you fly off the end about 3 feet each time, you'd think they wouldn't go back for more but they do!

Sleepy Head

One day at lunch time, Eva was finishing up her lunch while I was putting another child down for nap. I was gone only a minute or 2 and when I came back, this is what I found...she just couldn't keep her eyes open one more second. I picked her up from the table, changed her diaper, put her on her mat and she was still sleeping! Totally tuckered out!

Jasmin's 4th Birthday

Happy Birthday to Jasmin. She is now a whopping 4 years old. She brought a birthday treat for all of us to help her celebrate her birthday! We all enjoyed the cupcakes a whole lot! It was a fun, messy snack that day!
