Out Insect Theme for May was kicked off with a week all about ants! We continually observed a rainbow-colored ant farm, learned a lot about team work, played Ants in the Pants, and practiced our cutting and gluing skills as we made our very own ant picnic! The insect theme definitely helped the girls develop a new interest in insects (much needed for most of them!).
What a special time we had with our sweet daughters! They were super excited! We were served to, sung to, and dined on a fancy mommy placemat-complete with our very own decorated tulip vase! Trisha and I had a great time exchanging and using our mommy-daughter coupons. I heard some fun stories from the girls who had used their coupons later on too! These girls have the most fantastic mothers!!! I am sincerely grateful for their friendship and example.
We are so glad we got to celebrate Katie's summer birthday! She brought in yummy cupcakes, Jamie read a story, and Katie shared her beautiful new bunny for Show and Tell! Thanks for making a preschool appearance, Pumpkin! The kids really liked it! (Now for that Baby Adamson #5 appearance...)
To celebrate Earth Day, we made pinecone bird feeders. Isaac & Trish had fun pretending to be birds when we hung ours up! The spring hand trees turned out so cute too!
Each girl had her own special way of using different colors of paint and ring stamps to make their wreath. Ella was all about swirling the blue paint! "My mom is going to LOVE this!"
We sang with our cute seedling finger puppets, played Where's the Trowel (a most favorite number guessing game!), made our names out of seeds, and planted our very own sunflowers!
Watching a man float in the Dead Sea (thank you YouTube-we played it over and over) and conducting this experiment about saltwater was pretty egg-citing! :)
