I'm Back!
I am not sure how three months have passed me by without adding a new post, but I'm back and going to try to keep things going again. Life is very, very busy. Dakota has finished grade 3 and had a week's break before "summer camp" begins tomorrow. Summer camp here is when his cousin and a few friends come during the week for me to watch and we have a schedule with a weekly theme, fun classes and field trips, a daily schedule, educational packets, free movies at the theater, library trips galore, daily board games, daily outdoor time and whatever else we can squeeze in. All this while running a daycare here at the house with my daughter that includes a 12 months old, an 8 month old, a two year old, three three year olds and two four year olds. We are a busy, loving, chaotic mess, but we have fun and we work hard to keep the kids happy and busy.
Last week we did the letter M with the daycare kids. They were monkeys jumping on the bed, singing their favorite rhyme, they made M mountains capped with snow, dot painted a paper mosaic cookie with mini marshmallow dotters to make the chips after reading If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, and made moose bag puppets and did a directional letter m workbook after reading If You Give a Moose a Muffin. We took a trip to the kids room at the Maryland Science Center, played on the deck and put up the water table, jumped on the trampoline and rode scooters. Whew! Busy!
Now, after a nice day downtown with my young son on Saturday visiting the observatory and planetarium and the Babe Ruth Museum and a fun day for dad and the boys at the Oriole game, we are ready to face another week. There are craft classes, a free movie, storytime times two at the library, a trip to Chuck E. Cheese, dinner at my moms, All Star practice and an All Star game to get through. I am already looking forward to next weekend!!
