Loving on Mommy before school




getting ready in the mornings is always a challenge for mommy. but somehow we all make it out the door dressed and with our tummies full.

trying on one of mommy's carriers The Tonga (I pinned it up in the back but it didn't work very well.)

Before we went to her open house at her preschool she wanted to sing her sunny song.
 Violet's Sunny song goes like this....
I love it when it's sunny
I love it when it's sunny
Ah Ahhhh

as she sings it she dances around in a circle. Then at the ah ahh part she kneels down and raises out her arms. She likes to wait to see if a butterfly will fly by. She says butterflies are Grandma Pam coming by to say hello. In the seasons where butterflies are out we ask each other after school each day if we saw any butterflies and how many.



playing in the blocks at her school open house


The kids painted on these clear plastic sheets. Then they attached them to playground equipment to make a tunnel of their art. It was so neat!

Who says you can't climb a tree in a dress?


Our little Tree Hugger

Violet's buddy Yuse





We sometimes play the silly monster drawing game. One person is the caller. First you call out a color, then a number, then a body part. The drawers have to draw what is called out. In the end you have a silly monster! I play this game at my elementary schools sometimes. Violet loves it!

Daddy's monster is on the left. Mommy's is on the right

One of Violet's monsters

and another. Except the picture is sideways and I can't seem to turn it around.
