Evelyn

I am so very proud of my friend Evelyn! 

Even though she said she felt like she was going to fall, she kept trying and trying until she mastered the monkey bars!A big accomplishment for a big girl! Way to go Evelyn!

Adventure day

I Love adventure days!

One of my favorite parts about working with small children is watching how they love to stop and take note of all the small things in life that we as adults just pass on by. Things like actually stopping our walk to watch a tug boat go by,

Finding treasures along the way.... like a marble,

Noticing how the seaweed makes a funny sound when you squish it....

digging out half buried sea shells and noticing the colors inside....

stopping to watch seagulls fly by....

and being SOOOOOO enthusiastic about the birds!

Ben today spent a lot of time crawling on the wet sand pushing his hands though it... like a bull dozer!

Ethan finally got the hang of throwing the ball for Hazel using the chuck-it-stick..... and then almost hit a man with the ball in the process! I am also so proud of how far my little friend Sam walked today.... all the way to our private beach and most of the way back! that's a long way for little legs!!!!

And even though i told them the sand will be cold.... Kai told me you "have to" have bare feet when you are at the beach!

Thanks for coming to hang with us today Sheri!

Happy Leprechaun Day 2014

After working all week on our group art project we are finally ready to catch us a real leprechaun!

 Prepping our bait..... lots and lots of shamrocks 

(actually it's just a four leafed weed as we cold not find any real clovers)

 Setting the trap with the perfect 'y' shaped stick 

Now all we need is for it to be super, super quiet so the reclusive leprechaun can come!

Green cookies for snack of course!

IT WORKED!

The trap has been sprung!!!!

Now all we need to do it close our eyes and wish with all our hearts and shout out "I set you free"

 and voila......

The leprechaun traded his treasure for his release!

all that's left to do is divvy up the loot!

Happy leprechaun day everyone!

another 4 year old!
