last day at mom school

kael had his last day of mom school last Tuesday. it was fun and sad at the same time. he has really enjoyed mom school this year and the friends that he has made. he still talks about them since we have moved and asks when they will be coming over to play. i just wanted to post a few pictures from the day.

the kids played a life size version of candy land. it was really fun and then they got to color some pictures. kael wanted to bring cupcakes for the last day, so we did. Briea got to eat a turkey sandwich instead. oh well, she is still super cute doing it.

Blue

today at mom school we learned about the color blue. so here is Kael's picture of a blue sky and blue raindrops falling on umbrellas. he is such a talented kid ;0)

Watercolor!

In an effort to de-clutter, especially before an impending move, I have decided to start scanning the boys work and save some of it on here. of course I will save some special things in a box I have for them, but since I am using our blog as almost a family journal, i thought this would work just fine.

so to start off my efforts, here is some of kael's watercolors from MOM SCHOOL today.
We learned about the letter W. Wiggle Worms get to be painted with Watercolors!
Here is Kael's Worm. 2/2010Here is an extra one that Kael wanted to do.And one more. He really likes to paint.
I think they are wonderful. But I am basis.

Mom School Valentines

Tuesday Kael had his Valentines Day party with his Mom School friends. It had been postponed from earlier due to weather. Kael was pretty excited and I think he had a pretty good time!Here they are working on their Valentines Day Bags.they each got some fun stickers to decorate their bags with. Kael loved putting his stickers on.here are some of the finished bags!K-man having some Valentines Day cookies as a snack. I took this picture and said "are you having fun at your party?" This is what I got....I guess i embarrassed him in front of all his friends!
oh well, their are worse things that can happen than your mom asking you if you are having fun.
on a whole other note. Briea loves babies. She REALLY loves them.
so much so, that they usually don't love her back!
poor girl, she just wants to give them hugs and kisses.

halloween mom school

today was mom school. it was my turn to teach. i read a few books about Halloween and then went on a Halloween Hunt for a lost Happy witch. can you guess what my letter was? you guessed it H!! how perfect to get it the week of halloween.

anyways, the kids all wore their costumes. they were so cute. here is kael as a clown, carley as snow white, and tui the ghost.

kael says that carley is "his girl". so cute.eli the lion, addy the dalmatian, neldon the elephant!
of course we had the tag along cuties that came too. the little brothers and sisters of these guys came dressed up. ammon is his halloween gear, breia the princess and josh the lion.
(i hate the lighting in the gym. it always makes the pictures look yuck!)
the kids had a lot of fun, running around after the lesson and playing. for snacks we had halloween hands filled with popcorn and candy corn!!here a couple group shots of all the kids. i love the bottom one. eli is so cute!!

mom school....round two~

with the school year starting so starts another year of mom school. kael has been so excited that it is finally his turn to do SOMETHING! he watches cullan get to go do everything first and so when it is his turn he can hardly stand it.

this year we are doing things a little differently. we are only meeting once a week instead of twice. that is ok with me because it leaves some time open for just kael, briea and i to go do some fun things together.
today was actually our second time meeting. today the kids learned about the letter B. they read a story about Bunnies, had frozen Banana's dipped in yogurt and sprinkles.
while the big kids did all this fun stuff, Briea hung out with her little friend. Mr. A was born just a few days behind her.
she is such a good baby. she just hangs out and plays. i am really lucky. after their snack the kids went outside to Blow Bubbles! that is always a hit.
kael blowing away!miss C is so cute. mr. N was showing everyone how to balance on the parking things. i am drawing a blank as to their names.here are T & A practicing their balancing skills also. here is Mr. E with his bubble pipe. he was so funny. he would fill it up and then bubbles would just shoot everywhere.
i am grateful that there are moms that i can do this with. kael really enjoys it and talks about it all the time.

tot time~

so this year we did not have enough kids old enough to do mom school, so we decided to do something else.

we meet once a week and work on a letter of the alphabet. we might do a craft, activity or story.

today was the first day.

kael was so excited. he got his back pack and everything.

i taught today and we learned about the letter A. no i did not plan his shirt but i did work it into my activity. we talked about words that started with the letter A and then painted with apples!

i think the kids had a good time!

here is kael on his first day.

he is getting to be such a big kid.

impromptu~

-PART ONE-

the other day we were supposed to go on a field trip to a dairy farm. well it got canceled. the boys were all sad and disappointed. they really wanted to see some cows and chickens. so garran and i tried to come up with something else to do. first we decided to go to a local museum that we have been to a couple times in the past. we did not spend very long there because there was also a school field trip there.

garran and kael checking out some snakes.i dont know what cullan thought about this. he just kind of starred at it for a while.the boys checking out some wilderness.little miss just enjoying the view!

-PART TWO-

it was raining out so we decided to take the kids to chuck e cheese to just let them play some games. they always love it and we dont to it very often. so we went and got some tokens and just played some games for a while.

kael trying out some ski-bo!

daddy and the boys killing some spiders.

kael riding the roller coaster game. he would only raise one hand going up the hill. i thought it was cute!

at the end it all worked out. we are sad we missed the dairy farm but maybe we will just have to plan our own little trip out there sometime!
