We're up and RUNNING

Today marks the first successful day of Home Away from Home!  Two of the first four children were here having tons of fun, and I found myself wishing the other two were here too. (They start in a couple of weeks).  There were a few moments in the day that I knew if both girls were here they would have had tons more fun.  I did let Elle play hookie from school to celebrate the grand opening though.

Here's the low down on what we did today.  (Don't worry, I won't do this everyday)  : )

Tons of coloring, singing, dancing, pretending, puppet showing and overall silliness.  And somewhere mixed in there we made bird-seed feeders for our neighborhood birds that thought spring was here, only to be smacked in the face by a blustery cold front.   It was a super-easy craft that the kids LOVED. 

 

Even the baby was thrilled.

 

And it was a good thing Elle was home to help hang them on the trees.

(It was way too cold for her to be outside in a tanktop!!!)

And here's the finished product.

Jordan got a little hungry.

 

SO all in all, we're happy to be playing together.  It was a seriously fun day!
