E is for Eric, Eli, and Exercise

We did some exercising with weights in honor of letter "E"
Eric Enjoying his spagetti

King Eric

King Eli

Eli has been waiting to be King of the Day for a long time. He ended up wearing the crown all through preschool, he even wore it in the car on the way to the park. Eric was our guest King of the Day, and really enjoyed his spagetti I gave him for lunch. The pic was too cute, I just had to put it in here. I'm glad he wasn't wearing his shirt :)

Y is for Yo-yo

We made some yo-yo's out of toilet paper rolls and cardboard. The kids painted them and then I hot glued some yarn to make it look like a real string. They don't actually work but like Jonny said, "They make a good wrecking ball." Sorry about that, hopefully they don't go around swinging them and knocking things over!

K is for Kite Flying

We made some kites and gave them a whirl outside with snow on the ground....suffice it to say we didn't stay outside very long, it was freezing!

R is also for Recycling

We took our little field trip to do some recycling. With the money we earned we bought some Ritz crackers and headed for a fun time at the park. The kids enjoyed watching the cans get smushed by the big machine.

R is for Rockets

We made some rockets out of toilet paper rolls and flew them around a bit. Notice Madison with the dog leash on, for some reason she wanted to wear it, funny girl.

Be my Valentine

We had a little Valentines Day Party and made Valentine Vans to hold the Valentines Day cards we made. Forgot to get a picture of all the kids with their vans though (oops).

G is for Guitar

The kids rocked out on Guitars in honor of letter G.

W is for Waiter and Waffles

The kids dressed up as waiters and took an order from a fellow classmate and delivered their food to them. They scarfed those waffles up good. Jonny was especially speedy in his waffle consumption. One minute Jonny was eating his waffle, I turned around, next thing I know the plate is empty!

Aaron was the first to play waiter. When I asked him to put the water on the tray for delivery, he poured the cup of water out on the tray! I guess I wasn't specific enough in my instructions. It made me laugh.

Wind and Windsocks

We picked the perfect day to make windsocks, it was a very windy day. We went outside with them and they were blowing really well in the wind. The kids thought this was great fun. We ran up the sidewalk for a few minutes, got some energy out, and then came back inside to warm up.

Clay Time

The kids have been into playing with clay lately; they cut them up into tiny pieces, stick a toothpick in them and play restaurant. Loads of fun!
