Wacky Wednesday

Once a month Titus and I got to stay with Faith for a fun day of preschool activities. This was one of my favorites! We had wacky hairdos, wore wacky outfits, and did all sorts of wild & wacky activities. 

Karen's Wacky Living Room- Furniture backwards, lampshades upside down, misplaced objects, and wild escaped alphabet letters.

 Titus' Wacky Hair Do

 Faith playing with Oobleck (a funny solid & liquid at the same time)

 The wacky experiment. (an eruption with Mentos & Coke)

 Wacky Walk

Alphabet Letters Gone Wild

 What are those socks doing there??

 Painting with toothpicks & gummy worms.

 Eating Wacky Cake with weird utensils. (ice cream scoop, chopsticks, etc.)

 Reading the book that started it all....Dr Seus' Wacky Wednesday.

 Making "Flubber" I was so impressed how well my Miss Clean Hands did with these activities- she was all about it!

 Our Wacky outfits- we did wacky pigtails mismatching clothes & shoes and silly jewelry.

 Our friends Mrs. Brea and Colin came too.

 All wacked out- no pictures please mom!

It was a wild and wacky day with lots of fun. We are so grateful Mrs. Karen let us join in too!! (who doesn't love an excuse to wear their hair in pigtails again :)

Spring Break

Nobody was anticipating Spring Break more than me. I was literally counting down the days. While our daily school routine was old hat at this point I was longing for our less complicated, never leave the house days of yesteryear.  I was ready for letting my kids sleep in, being less stringent about bed time, and having all three of kids home to play together!

That being said by nature I am a list maker. I love to get things done. My idea of fun is reorganizing an area of my house. (true story) Than you have my husband. The man is great at playing and spontaneous fun. He is so great about taking time to stop what he is doing and make fun memories with our kiddos. I however have to be a bit more intentional. So, I knew if left to my own devices I would spend Spring Break getting "caught up" around my house and checking things off my never ending "to do" list if I didn't make a plan. So, I set down with the kids and laid out our week. They helped me make a schedule of fun. I'm much better at planned fun. It was a GREAT memory making week. And I love making memories with my kids because that feels like getting something done to me. :)
