Paradise Park Field Trip

My class went to Paradise Park last week and had such a good time! We made fruit kabobs, talked about different food groups, colored food group pictures, played in a bank and grocery store, outside and in the water table. I can't wait to go back!

Mom really wanted to get some fun St. Patrick's Day pictures of us, but we were what she calls, less than cooperative. Here are some of the antics that we threw her way!

Snake Saturday Parade

I know it's a little past Snake Saturday and St. Patty's day, but we've been busy as usual. Today is catch up day so sit down and catch up with us!
We went to the Snake Saturday Parade in NKC and had a great time. We loved the dogs, horses and firetrucks the most! Meekin decided to take a nap and I was a little tired, so we left just before it was over, but had a great time while we were there!

A Rainbow Delicacy

Happy Ash Wednesday to all!  My class went to mass this morning and then had a science lesson on rainbows.  Mom made rainbow fruit plates for all of us to have as a snack!  The pot of gold was bananas and serving as puffy clouds were marshmallows - my favorite!

Happy Half Birthday, Henry!

My half birthday was last weekend - I'm officially 4 1/2!  We celebrated with a little cake, ice cream and green sprinkles!

Don't forget the cheese!

Cousins!

Our cousins have relocated from Germany to St. Louis!  YAY!  They're so much closer and we love that!  We'll get to see them very often now!

Ellie gave Meekin a lesson on princesses.

Then, he checked to see if Clyde was doing ok. 

He was having fun!!  It was a great visit! 

Creative Costumes

I've been really getting into dressing up lately.  Meekin and I spend a lot of time in the evenings trying on all of our hats and pretending we're different people. 

At school, we learned about Presidents Day and George Washington.  We even made George Washington wigs!  (Note from Mom:  Henry did not go to school dressed like this, he came home and changed into his 'work clothes' and then decided to model for a picture)

Complete with black ribbon on the back! 

Of course, Meekin  had to get in on the action too.  He's always running around in his underwear - this time they were backwards! 

One day when we were going to meet friends, we decided to dress up again.  I wanted to be a pirate and Meekin wanted to be an elephant! 

Today is Dr. Seuss' birthday, so we had a green eggs and ham party at school.  I wanted to dress like the Cat in the Hat because, well, I know a lot about that!  We had a great day! 

This is a look Mom will probably see a lot in the future. 

Meekin as the Cat in the Hat - Double trouble!
