Great Outside Play and Cozy Story Time

It was finally nice enough to enjoy outside and the kids loved it.


So did the dogs!
We went to the forrest and everyone, pets and kids played and climbed and had a lot of fun.


After lunch, we brushed our teeth and story time was super cozy. I almost lost them, naps were good that day!


These are the moments where I love them so much!

Tyson works Hard

Tyson is always curious and loves to help. He loves all tools and things that require him to use his muscels. He also loves to vacuum but I do not have a picture of that one....yet.


He watched intently while Amanda measured and leveled the closet. Then she invited him to join in! 
He was in heaven using the drill, he was so excited and proud of himself!



Then he decided he needed to shovel the driveway with me. I didnt mind the help! It was a different day. 


I love how proud he is to help out.

Vada was also there but she wanted no part in any of this manual labor, she enjoyed playing!

Some days Snack is Nuts


Oh my... Vada decided to sit like this at every meal and snack. 


Tyson was saying, " See what I have to put up with?"

They are the best!

Valentine's love

Vada and Tyson love love love painting. I am always trying to find new ways for them to challenge their minds and help them grow in their creativity but also make sure they are able to feel proud. I notice they both are trying to make things a certain way.


I gave them a heart and red paint. I did not instruct them at all. I let them do what they wanted. They both tried to stay in the lines of the heart.



So I gave them cherrios and put glue only around the heart.
They were both so carful in placing the cherrios around and filled all the spaces.



It was so adorable to se them work and they were so proud of the awesome art they created!

Some days you just have to trust the kids....



Tyson was eating breakfast and I was asking Amanda how I set up my library books for my iPad. Tyson had it under control, he was already reading all about it!

I love moments like this!

I love that we can explore our community and this class is perfect for the developmental level Tyson and Vada are at right now.

They had song time and circle time and play time and outside time but it was with a Waldorf rhythm. It was a beautiful day!
