Baby Shoes

Baby Shoes by Dashka Slater


We checked out this book from the library. My kids LOVE it!!! They enjoy it so much I decided to do a project around it. I drew out a picture of a shoe for both kids. I set them up with water paints. We read the book and when something happened to the white shoes, the kids found the color that applied and painted what they thought the mess would look like on the shoes.

Below are the final products of their painted shoes. I took the picture next to the book so you could see the comparison in shoes.

Caleb's


Madeline's

I'm sure that all the family knows but we got the buy 1 get 5 free deal. We are meeting Keely and her family there every 2 weeks. It's so much fun to see, hang out and see the kids play/bond together.

Pool Party

The cutest picture ever...

Grand opening

We stopped at a grand opening to enter to win a not need 42" plasma flat screen tv... just for the fun of it. On our way out we were greeted and asked if the kids wanted a special balloon. Of course, the kids loved the balloons and Caleb ended up with his face painted. Afterwards, we met a friend at the park.

Madeline's 2nd Haircut

I decided it was time to cut Maddies hair again. Look at how long it was.


Doesn't it look cute?

Chalk Art

Caleb is so proud of his portrait that I thought we should show it off. Each morning when we awakes he asks to go outside and see all our chalk art.

B-I-N-G-O

The kids colored their sheets/items, cut them out and glued them to the paper. We used skittles to mark our items. Madeline didn’t understand what was happening to her candy so she didn’t play the first few rounds. After watching Caleb and noticing that the candy didn’t mysteriously disappear she started playing with us. The kids got really excited when one of them got a BINGO. They also really loved it when they tied which I believed was a really good lesson. The kids loved this game, learned from it and were rewarded with candy in the end. I think they will be asking to play it later.
