The other day Sloane and Reese made crayon and watercolor flowers. Quinn couldn’t stand missing out so we set her up with some colored pencils and she got to work! Her Edward Scissor Hand Pencil approach was interesting and she came up with a great little piece of art. Silly girl!

We celebrated Greg’s Birthday last week and I think the kids were more excited for his birthday than their own. They specifically requested a bundt cake with shamrocks on top, you know, for “March”. The kids also took most of the photos, sang Happy Birthday and helped to blow out the candles. Having kids sure [...]

This will be Quinn’s first year to really take part in playing at the playground. It looks like she’s more than ready!

Quinn has recently discovered where we keep all the hats and is completely crazy about wearing them throughout the day. She thinks she is quite a funny girl and looks forward to our reaction to the hat she’s chosen. Check her out!

Just a few recent pictures of our “crew!” Sloane and Reese are inseparable and Quinn is developing quite the personality!

They practiced measurement, counting, graphing, probability, estimation and addition. They did a great job and learned a lot, although I’m sure their favorite [...]

A few weeks ago I pulled a bunch of cooking ingredients out of our pantry and let the girls concoct a recipe of their own. They used everything from parsley to green jell-o powder, red hots to powdered sugar and even oatmeal, salt, eggs flour and water. They spent a lot of time experimenting, checking [...]
