Sandbox Toys

Who needs to buy expensive sandbox toys, when they love to play with the $ Store cooking stuff!

Busy Weekend!

What a busy, but yet productive weekend! Yesterday, we had our Miss. Tootsie contest for the playground fundraiser... I hope we turned out alright! It was hilarious to watch non-the-less! They even embarrassed Mike pretty good... Cris Knott was there taking pictures, so I didn't even take out my camera! So, I'll post pictures once I see them!

Anyway, here is our Miss. Tootsie of 2013:

I think that all of the guys did a great job, it was almost more funny to listen to them at the bar afterward talk about how they were so cold in a dress and how do women do this all the time at weddings and such, not to mention makeup, wearing/breaking nails! It was a pretty comical time! I don't honestly know the last time I was at the bar drinking.... when we left, I seriously thought, why do some people even drink... all they do is make themselves look like a fool! Guess, maybe I'm getting old or something:)

Today, I managed to get quite a bit done before the weather turns cold and yucky and we have yet another busy week! Oh well, I guess it keeps us on our toes to be busy!

Finally finished cleaning out the basement, got all my daycare themes organized and labeled into these drawers... something that I've been wanting to get done for quite awhile! Among-st working on laundry, got my car vacuumed out, put away some more stuff outside, cleaned up a few more areas of leaves, hauled a car load full into the Thrift Shop (I'm guessing they will be having a 1/2 price sale this week.... the drop off room was FULL!), wandered through Good Will,  first bike ride of the season (which she loved this year!), had fun playing outside this afternoon, supper, bath and Brooklyn was in bed by 7:30!  I say it was a successful day!

All organized! 

Mommy & Brookie jumping on the trampoline! Good exercise! 

Goodwill finds today! $1.00 each and I'm storing them away for our pet shop! SCORE! 

Having fun driving the boat! 

Have a great week everyone!

As much as I don't like to shop at Kmart for much, we did make it there last week... Outside of the store, they have this carousel.... so of course, we had to ride, only if we were good in the store!

Oh the fun of discovering how to turn the lights off and on!

Busy, Busy!

I've been busy, busy this week, trying to plan head on some daycare curriculum ideas for the summer. My goal was one theme per day, so I'm doing pretty well! While, we seem to have a more laid back summer, it's still nice to do some activities with the kids, they like to do "projects" at the table and it does break up our day from just "playing" all day! So... here's to finishing my planning for the 16 weeks they have off this summer! 

SpRiNg!

Yeah for Spring! Which means, we can start to get out the springish clothes! 

Loved this... bought the spring jacket off ebay, got the outfit from a old high school friend, and found out they match! 

Toys!

Finally, it looks like a play area again!

This darn semi trailer, I thought was such a dumb purchase, actually has come in pretty handy to store all the toys in for the winter months and then they use it to haul around water for the sprayer in the spring/summer!
