Bugs and Walks

We are learning about bugs! And how they help our gardens! And that bugs are our friends.

 My beautiful buddies.

Looking way under!

Zach chanced his bugs all over the place, it was so cute as he chased little ants and lady bugs. He even went after a cute fat bee.....we said the flying bugs need to be left alone!!

Running along together!

The boys ran a lot while the girls read their books in the wagon! 

Library Learning and Exploring

 The library is always a fun place.....

Tyson and vada always go straight to the computers, Vada is not sure what she is doing but she likes the computers. Tyson always listens to the story, sort of, and pushes a lot of keys. Isla she is just being Isla.

Zach loves to pick books and Vada 'reads' them to him, then Vada puts them away!

Everyone loves the play area, puzzles, phone stories, the tree, books and imagination run wild in this area. This is where we go hang out before we pick our books before home time.

Lots of exploring and fun to be had. 

:

The ride home is always exciting, some walk, some ride, Vada ALWAYS reads her stories.

Home Depot

We go everywhere together.....

Isla was a nut today, so funny and goofy. Vada was happy but did not want to have her picture taken. 

She is stylin' here!

Happy happy girl!!

Safety first!

Mother's Day and Gardening

I wish there was a way to show how much these amazing beautiful minds learn each day....

Watering

Their beautiful pots

Footprint butterflies

Love Grows Here

Fingerprint cards

This was a process...

We did the cards one day to see how Isla would react to the paint on her hands, she loved it, tried to eat it and liked the texture.

Then we had to paint the pots and let them dry, then paint feet in 2 colors, both feet and put them on out pots. Wash those feet and let dry.

Another day we put the dirt in, all the children did it themselves! 

Then add their wave petunias. Added more dirt. Watered.

They were so happy with their Mother's Day gift!

I think I will get a big pot and make myself one with all their butterflies, I love it so much!

Target Fieldtrip

Target opened up in Canada and right here in St Albert. We were all so excited to go, we went at 8:30 am and had a great time looking at all the really cool new things and set up!

Costco Shopping

We spent the day out and we went to Costco and the girls fell asleep in the car. Neither sleep great when you move them, both stay asleep and slept in the cart, for an hour.

It was so adorable!

Big Man

Our Playhouse

I decided to be brave and build the playhouse WITH the kids!

Vada is hard at work while Tyson waits for his turn, he was wanting his turn a little faster

Tyson is a natural foreman, making sure Vada is doing a good job

Zach reading the prints and the others working

Zach works the tools

Tyson comes in for an inspection, we had to get Amanda to fix what we did. I tried but the house sort of fell apart a bit. It just didnt quite work and stay totally together

Cleaning up after his hard work

Isla was a true union worker, she watched everyone work but enjoyed the house :)

Loving the house

Oh Vada!

Forest Walks

 Off we go for a walk to the forest the kids call it and we have everyone but Tyson ( he was in Maui)

Zach and Idgie running through the 'forest'

 Always time for a snuggle or hug

 Love the love that is shared and grown
