Is it spring yet?



We did this little art project at our house since we have been learning about the seasons and I thought it turned out pretty cute. Each tree, of course, represents each season. The kids used toilet paper rolls for the trunks, brown yarn for the branches, and popcorn for the blossoms in spring. That was my favorite. If I were to do it again, I think I would have the kids paint the toilet paper rolls brown. Ella and Aidan had a blast.

SO cute! I love projects like that. Jonah and I popped popcorn today for the first time together. He thought it was awesome.

That is a really cute project! P.S- I love the story about you sniffing around in Nicholas' room, that is so funny!

You are thoughtful and care very deeply for your family. A loving home is of great importance to you and you always try to make people feel welcome. Although you have a great capacity to love, you also have a great capacity to hurt, so at times you can be sensitive. You're firm when you need to be, but people trust your judgment and appreciate the kind way you always handle things.

Playing Opposites

I have been discussing opposites with the kids lately. Today (Oct. 1 ) we were doing an opposites puzzle and Aidan was doing amazingly well (turned 3, 3 months ago). There was a picture of fire with the word "hot." Here's the conversation: Me - What's the opposite of hot? Aidan - warm. Me - Well, not quite. Okay, fire is hot. What is ice? Aidan - slippery! LOL :)

Aidan - "See, I can do opposites with my toes!" ??
