Crazy Messiness

Those crazy kids ...



Megan's class had some sensory fun at school that we decided to duplicate at home. We took some old leftover newborn diapers and cut them open. The insides of 3 newborn diapers have the capacity to absorb at least 6 cups of water (we decided to stop at 6).

First Diorama

Lucas made his first diorama for school this week. Since it was of the ocean variety, Lucas started by painting the inside blue and then adding some coral and some Nemo stickers. Finally, some tissue paper coral, dangling fish and ... voila!

Fun in the Snow

Playing in the snow is fun, but it's even more fun when you get to do it with all of your friends ... and top it off with hot chocolate. :)

Mmm ... Cookies!

Megan's Christmas gift for Mommy and Daddy from school was a batch of sugar cookies that we had to add wet ingredients to and make, so we decided it would be a good afternoon activity. Lucas and Megan had fun with the cookie cutters, but I think their favorite part was decorating. No cookie was complete unless it had at least 3 toppings on it. :)

Fun with Jasmine

Jasmine's popularity is hit-or-miss with people, but for a 17-year-old cat, she puts up with a lot from Lucas and Megan.

Happy New Year!

Our 14th annual New Years Day Dinner ... the attendees have changed a bit, but we think it's still a great way to start the year.
