Our ducks are back...

They hang out on our front porch right by the front door. Jasmine feeds them 2-3 times a day. Probably not a good idea.....:0)

Whatchamacallit Expedition...

I got a notice in Jasmine's backpack on Friday for a "weekend project".... like I need more projects in my life. Anyway, they are supposed to design a Whatchamacallit that has some specific purpose, then make it out of "household objects" like milk cartons, TP rolls, stuff like that. On Friday night when we were driving home from skating, I asked Jasmine what she wanted to make for her Whatchamacallit. She said she wanted to make a vending machine that answers every math problem that you don't know! So... today we covered a shoe box with pink paper... because "it has to be pink". Then we put numbers all over it, as well as some stickers, then I kind of designed the "floor". It was fun and turned out kind of cute. Later this week, all of the "Whatchamacallits" will be in a "Invention Expedition".

Thanks Miss Wachtel and all of the other kindergarten teachers .... because I really needed something else to do this weekend! (eye roll).

Eggstravaganza....

Today was the Eggstravaganza at Tumbleweed Recreation Center. Parents were not allowed in the first hour when the kids made Easter Baskets and a little bunny craft. Then we all went outside in the 95 degree weather to meet the Easter Bunny and collect some eggs filled with candy and little toys:)
It was much better than the huge Easter egg hunts with hundreds of aggressive people. Poor Easter Bunny in that thick wool costume!

First few minutes in class.

Hunting eggs.

With the Easter Bunny.

At home with crafts and basket.
