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!

Foaming Fun

Makynna gets spray whipped cream because I didn't want her to eat the shaving cream!

Shaving Cream is one of the things that the kids like to play with. We don't do it too often because, as you can see, they get very into it and they take quite some time to clean off when they are done!

A Nutritious Mess!

Getting ready to help me make lunch!

Snack is so funny!

Eva fell asleep after eating her lunch! It's a lot of work to be a baby!

Every meal that I serve is nutritious! Some are more fun to eat than others! The proof is ON their faces! For the little ones, the mess is sure fun but it is also a lot of hard work to get the food from the dish into their mouth!

Fun & Fresh Air!

We have outside time almost everyday. The nicer the weather gets, the more time we will be spending outside! There are so many things to do in the back yard, the kids are never bored!

Who will I be today? Dress up fun!

Here are a few pictures of the kids playing dress up on various days! They have been playing with the dress up stuff about once a day lately and get such a kick out of helping eachother choose an outfit/ costume! I'll try to get some pictures on the days they mix and match the different pieces. It's quite hilarious!

My little bakers!

Lexi was in charge of putting in the Brownie Mix!

(I realize this one isn't in order. Just can't figure out how to move it without re-doing the whole thing)

Our Brownies are all done and ready for the oven!

Then everyone took their turn to mix!

Jacob was in charge of pouring in the water!

Jasmin was in charge of pouring in the oil!

Hayden was in charge of carefully cracking and putting in the eggs.

One activity that the kids and I do together is cooking/ baking. This particular day, we decided to make brownies that would be our snack later that afternoon! Everyone was in charge of one specific ingredient and then everyone took a turn to make sure that it was mixed well! At snack time, the concensus was that they were awesome brownies and we were good bakers!
