My Creative & Silly Girls

The girls having a good time:


Kaitlyn recently had a very time consuming project to work on for the open house her class had. They had several weeks of learning about caterpillers and butterflies....utilizing Eric Carls book "The Very Hungry Caterpillar". These pictures show less than a quarter of hard work. The rest of the work included a large decorated envelope with items from the book: catperpillar (dyed sock made into a puppet), egg laying a leaf, the apples, oranges and fruits other food items colored on paper plates with a big hole in the middle, a cacoon and of course the beautiful butterfly. The greatest part was when each child could retell the story in their own words using their visual aids. GREAT JOB KAITLYN!!!


One of my Friday's was made a little brighter while volunteering at the school. I was filling each students Friday folder and came to my own daughters papers for sorting, here's what I found (apparently this was done during her spare "choice" time in class):


Here's a cute project idea from Ally's art class. She loves poetry and found this art piece quite thrilling to pull out of her backpack to share with us. Very cute!

Random Pics

Kaitlyn making her Caterpillar inch its way across the floor.


Jeremy...happy someone invented and supplied :-) him with candy.


Andrea...wondering when Mia's blow-outs will stop.


Thomas (Katie's youngest) turned 5! Cousins...happy to celebrate!


Ally....finding joy when she reads books on her own.


Mia is 6 months old and cute as ever...sitting up and wearing piggy tails!


Kaitlyn the day after her birthday. She's so happy her "bunny" has twinkle toes (from Aunt Katie) to match her own. She was also happy to find a way to fancy-up her bunny by wrapping the tutu (Aunt Rachel made her) around the rabbits waist twice. Doesn't she look pleased?
