February Preschool Memories

This month, flash broke on my camera (it has since started working again- I know, time for a new camera!), so the pictures are not great, but they are still memories worth keeping!

Playing mother may I...I think the suspense is killing Josie!

 We made treat bags.

 We had a really fun Valentine's Party, but we really missed Cody!

 Josie, our only girl who is truly just 'one of the boys.'

She is so smart, and I love that she is starting to put a lower-case 'e' on the end of her name without me reminding her!

 Jackson, who is finally tracing a line and can recognize 4 letters...yeah!

He still loves to hold the role of class clown.

 Tanner, I was wondering if he was learning anything, but he has really shocked me lately with what he has learn.  He is, of course, the reason I started this.  He loves pre-school, and he is learning...so, I guess I can say it has been worth it!

 Rustin, he is sweet, thoughtful, and pretty quiet.  We all love Rustin and, as the year has gone on, I have noticed that he catching on to things faster and faster!

 Ryler, Rustin's brother, joined our class for the day.

 Duck, Duck, GOOSE

 Group Block Building

We are learning about how friends and families help each other.



Fog?

I was wondering why all the pictures I take lately are foggy, then I noticed some cute little fingerprints on my lens!

Here we are dancing to our new favorite song by Tim McGraw

I got some cute pictures while playing games with cousins!

Love Day

Kenny and I went out to a movie and enjoyed some time without the boys on Saturday.  It was a good thing too, since vday didn't go quite as planned.

I got up early to make a special breakfast.  I stole a recipe from Kenny's cousin, Karen's Blog.

We loved it, though I think we will stick with maple syrup next time.

I tried to make everyone wait to eat until Tanner woke up, but he didn't get up until after 8 and I had to finally wake him.

 He was really excited when he saw his Love Day surprise, but he only ate one bite of food.

Believe it or not this really is Jackson trying to smile.

 By afternoon Tanner had a fever of 102ish and he just layed around watching movies.

I felt so bad for my sick little guy, but we had some fun resting time.

That night, he ate a little dinner and went to bed early.  He was a little better the next morning, but still had little appetite. 

Kenny had some equipment trouble at the dialysis center in the morning.  They finally got it all working but had to work with patients until late in the evening.  He didn't get home till about 11:30.  Even if Tanner had been feeling well our Love Day Game Night wouldn't have worked.

Kenny's schooling has been good for me to learn how to be more flexible, so when we have these days, I can go with the flow!

Even though my plans did not go as planned, I felt that there was love in our home and our vday was wonderful in a different way.

My little scholar

I was talking on the phone when Tanner said, "Mom, look at my ABCs."  I was shocked that he could do this. 

I came back and he had forgotten how to make an 'I' so he started drawing a boat instead.

 I helped get him back on track.

This boy is so close to reading now!!

Who is this kids mom?

I found these pictures on my camera when I got out of the shower.  The things they do when I am not looking.

Fun at home...

Orange Smiles...Tanner and Jack favorite game.

 Jack was sad that I wanted to put the strawberries away.

He definitely takes after me.

 After baths, we like to get warm by the fire.
