What a mess!! :)

Anyone want to help clean up this dinner mess?? The little kids LOVE thier pasta.





Samantha


Bridgette


Teddy








What in trhe world you might say do you do with 3 messy toddlers??


Well I marched them upstauirs to the bathroom.






And tossed them into the bath tub.






Then it is time for a story or two or three.







Then bottle time, they still get 1 bottle a day with toddler formula. And when I run out of what I have on hand they will be done with bottles!! YAY









If you would like to see a small video of the little kids after the spaghetti you can click below. I still can not get my video to upload to my blog. :(

Hot Lava!!!!

Okay so there's not really any hot lava but we did make a volcano!! For those that don't already know I am considering homeschooling Alexis next year and I am testing out if it work by doing a science curriculum at home. And, well, we are enjoying it so much. I ordered the Kindergarten science curriculum from Sonlight, I am already doing the preschool (P3/4) with Olivia and we are enjoying that literature. And our public school does not do anything for science in Kindergarten so it works out to do science at home so she gets some. :)

So here is Alexis holding her list she made up of what we need to make the volcano!! And a book, it was one we had already. We read from the Usborne Children's Encyclpedia about volcanoes (part of the curriculum), and bonus we already had this book for more in depth reading!!

Wow here she is with the homemade volcano!! We were pretty excited, can you tell that she is!!



For some reason I can not get my video to upload but I do have it on You Tube so here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/user/QBRATS?feature=mhw4#p/a/u/0/6Ksa5_Sc6qc .
The building and anticipation were alot better than our first attempt, but we lost the funnel and Dad made a make shift one from newspaper. But all night Alexis talked about building another one outside as big as the house, so we will do this experiment again. :)
Thanks for checking in on us.

The little kids (formerly known as the babies) had thier 18 month check ups last week. Are you sayin it?? I mean "Wow how in the world can they be 18 months old?"

Well they are...

And here are the numbers from thier check ups!!!

Samantha


Weight: 20 pounds compared to other 18 month olds she is in the 2.61%
Height: 29.5 inches compared to other 18 month olds she is in the 4.46%
Head: 18.5 inches compared with other 18 month olds she is in the 63.16%


Bridgette

Height: 31 inches compared to other 18 month olds she is in the 29.68%
Head: 19 inches compared to other 18 month olds she is in the 90.21%

Thanks for peeking at our family!!

Laundry Help & Lunch

Things here have been busy. I get lots of "help" with things like laundry. Check out my cute helpers.



It's a wonder that I don't get more done with all of this help.

Well they get pretty hungry after helping Mom out, so here they are enjoying lunch together.




We sure are enjoying every minute and look forward to the warm weather coming so we can go on picnics outside!! :)
