lions, and tigers, and bears, OH MY!!

IM BACK!!!!!!!!!!

I have missed my kids, and I have missed blogging!

Before I left on my vacation, I invited all the daycare kiddos over to have a little Zoomobile party!  It was awesome!  I couldn't believe how well the kids sat and they LOVED all the unique animals!

Unforntely my pics didn't turn out very well and I do not remember the name of the animals!  Sorry!

The kids got to touch lots of different animals, ask questions, watch parents freak out because of the animals, and eat lots of sugary snacks! 

Enjoy the poor pictures and bad captions!

Natalie watied by the door for 30mins for the zoomobile to come!  Miss Ava was the first to arrive and she to was sooooo excited!!  (wish i would have gotten all the kids by the zoomobile!)

Miss Ashley did a FANTASTIC job!!!

lots of pics of the kids petting all the different animals!

everyone sitting so nice, listening and waiting patiently to ask questions or make comments!

Then we had LOTS of yummy treats!

Oreo pops!  Oreos dipped in almond bark with sprinkles!

 Pretzels with a hug, and a candy corn on top!  Perfect Fall Treat!

 Monster Munch!  1 bag of popcorn, reeses pieces, peanuts, and candy corn covered in almond bark!  SUPER ADDICATING!  as in I have some sitting next to me as I type!!  YUMMO!!!!

Fun was had by all!  Everyone went home with full bellies, maybe a caviatiy or two, dirty, but most of all HAPPY!!!

Can't wait to do another daycare Family Event!

Any ideas??

FELT FRIDAY

I promised all 5 of you readers that I would post a Felt story and not just one but two!  And even though I am really tired and would rather just close the computer and crawl into bed, I WILL post 2 different felt stories!  I hope you enjoy and I hope you make a felt story and share it with me! 

The first one is a favorite of the kids!  Its one of their favorite books and a favorite felt story!
BROWN BEAR BROWN BEAR by Eric Carle  -- if you don't know this story hit up a library or book store and check it out!  FOR REAL!!
I get the printable from here
I just printed on the correct colored paper cut, contact paper, glue on a piece of felt to the back and BAM!  you have instant fun and education!!

The second one was a lovely pinterest find!  If you haven't joined pinterest yet you are SERIOUSLY missing out!!  Soooo get to it and join pinterest like the rest of us!

here are the words to the felt story
5 little jellybeans, I wish I had more!/I’ll eat the green one, now there are 4.
4 little jellybeans, tasty as can be/I’ll eat the purple one, now there are 3.
3 little jellybeans, only a few/I’ll eat the blue one, now there are 2.
2 little jellybeans, eating them is fun/I’ll eat the pink one, now there is one.
1 little jellybean, the last one for me/I’ll eat this yellow one, I’m happy as can be.
Mmmmm, not the healthiest dinner but a tasty one!

This one is SUPER EASY to make!  It doesn't get much easier than cutting out an oval shaped piece of felt ot look like a jelly bean! 

Hope you were inspired by my felt stories and you go out and make your own!

Keeping Busy on a Friday

So my fellow readers, I am going on vacation!  I leave on Sunday morning and am SUPER excited! 
But I promised myself I would not slack off just because I was going on a vaca!  I needed to stay focused and keep the kids busy doing projects!  So today we were busy!

The first thing we did was very similar to what we did last week but instead of the apples, we did leaves:

I don't have a finsihed picture I realized but I just cut out leaf shapes, with red and black paper!  simple, easy and fun!

Later on when the wee little ones took a nappy nap we made these:

again it was the exact same thing as the apples but instead of a red jello we used an orange jello (the obvious)

We also had a DANCE PARTY with these!

How did I make these awesome streamers you ask...well I cut the handles off of the milk jugs, punched a hole in them and tied some ribbon on them!  Let me tell you dancing is always way more fun when you have streamers!  (saw this at a training...did NOT come up with this on my own!)

I am learning to use the materails I have around me and coming up with some pretty fun ideas but always looking for more!  Please share with me fun things you make with items found right in your home!

You will prob not hear from me for the next week since I will be laying on a beach, soaking up the sun, reading a book! 
Have a Happy Week!
