It's a coloring frenzy over here!

The boys have been on a coloring rampage lately.

It is so cute to see them coloring their hearts out, hanging pictures all over the house, and covering my refrigerator with their masterpieces.


I have piles


and piles


and piles of pictures with no home.


On the bright side, I have plenty of paper for future grocery lists and to-do lists!!!

Recess :)

A Montessori Kind of Day

We made some new activities, played some, and learned!

We all sorted sea shells together

T practiced small motor/coordination and opening/closing the lid
(sorting lids from used bottles into a cashew container)

J, T, and E practiced taking turns and helping each other
(straws cut into different sizes and a parmesan cheese container)


J practiced his photography skills ;)
(my camera!)



J sorted some beans
(miscellaneous beans, cups, bowls, and spoons)
AND J practiced his photography some more :)



We built towers, castles, and swimming pools!!
(good old wooden blocks)

good, clean fun

...it's so much easier to play in peace and calm when
your room is clean and your toys are organized!! it's also easier
to share when you have ALL of your cars in one box,
as opposed to all over the house in who-knows-what box...
