Laughter, The Best Medicine
We regularly try to dialog with the kids about their day and this evening was no exception. Just before prayers we asked each of them to say two things that they like about the other. Hayden leaned over to Gillian to look into her eyes (at this point we are expecting him to blurt an “I love you!”) and said with that oh so cool sou [...]
Spring Break Blues

Mom has been feeling guilty and prays that the rest of the week she could make it up to them. “If only we could pla [...]
The little things……
Have you ever noticed what you do when it is too quiet, or you are alone or doing something for the first time?? Well for as long as I can remember, I hum when I am in these situations and it appears that my kids do the same thing.? I love it!

I heard that a friend of his was all alone on the play ground and he walked up to her and said [...]
Bubbles…bloop bloop bloop…...
Today we played around with dish soap, water, food coloring, straws and paper. Our objective was to make textured, colored paper. In the process we had lots of fun with bubbles. Hayden blew and blew and his bowl looked much like Epcot. Please view the pictures of our fun experiement! In case you were wondering, we did get some co [...]
The Luck of the Irish?
Leprechauns! Leprechauns! Those crazy Leprechauns had a lot of fun in Hayden’s classroom in the middle of the night! They walked around leaving green foot prints all over their classroom, they moved the furniture, mixed up the kids cubbies, played with all of the toys! They had a huge party and made a huge mess! The kids came in th [...]
March Madness
A chance to catch my breath and recap the past couple of weeks. A few of the fun things going on in our lives and some that are just plain noteworthy.
1. Kip and I got a weekend away from it all to reconnect. We were at a Couples Retreat up at Horn Creek. We reconnected with each other and with our love of the great outdoors. Not only was th [...]
I Do Not Like Green Eggs & Ham
Dr. Seuss would be proud! The WUMC PreK class just finished up a couple of weeks devoted to Dr. Seuss.
During these two weeks the kids got to wear funny socks, their favorite hats, they also got to wear their pj’s to school and each child took their favorite Dr. Seuss book to be read.
One other mom and I got the privilege of prepar [...]
