Bounce with me!

Sky Zone Trampoline Park! What a fun place!

They have a special toddler time which is perfect for so many reasons.

It's only $8 for the whole family.

There are only little people (and their parents) jumping so it feels quite safe.

I would definitely recommend it and hope to go back soon.

It felt very professional, very safe and the employees were very attentive and considerate.

The kids jumped and jumped and jumped!

All in a Day's Play

My friend, yes that you Heidi, gave us a bunch of wild animals work books, flashcards and games. Emmett asked, "How did she know I love wild animals!?" Today we read the flashcards and worked in the workbook.

Played the animal matching game. Basically it's a bunch of animals cut in half. The kids had to find the matching top and bottom half of the animals. The 4 year old loved it, the 3 year old and 2 year old females were able to do it with a bit of assistance and the 2 year old male enjoyed being part of the excitement.

Then we filled the tub with water and tried not to flood the bathroom.

Egg Drop Soup

Eisley: Daddy, may I have a bite please?

Daddy: Mushroom?

Eisley: Yes please!

Daddy: Celery?

Eisley: Yes please!

Daddy: Carrot?

Eisley: Yes please!

Daddy: more hot sauce?

Eisely: Yummy! Now it's my turn!

Ender: This is so not cool.

Barney, Blanket bounce and Story Time

This morning started with the attempt to exercise. I looked on Netflix instant play and the closest thing to a child exercise video I could find was a Barney Sing and Dance video. It's really hard to stay crabby when you're dancing!

Then onto core-muscle building activities! Today we made a trampoline for our stuffed animals. In the past we've done this with a big sheet but with the smaller kids it actually worked better with this receiving blanket.

Then we sat together and told a joint story. We threw the ball to whomever would add the next part of the story. Since the kids didn't really develop the plot, I would provide very leading statements like, "When they got to the zoo, the first animal Prince Emmett wanted to see was the..." The kids had an absolute blast and wanted to do it over and over.

Isn't Eisley's face darling when she's thinking and talking.

"And...."

Emmett was being a monkey.

And then just to capture the less pleasant part of our day...yes, it's not all smiles and giggles!

Exercise and accessorize

We've been trying to exercise (and accessorize) a little more around here!
