Mother's Day Week

The week leading up to Mother's Day, we had what I call a free week.  We played and played without a theme or letter of the week.  The weather was beautiful so we spent a lot of time outside. We also worked on some special presents for some special ladies in our lives.  

It's nice sometimes to just play without a set purpose.  :) 

We read a ton of books. 



Tater's Nana got little chicks for the kids and we had fun taking care of them. 

 We had lots of pretend play.  J loves to pretend to be Tater's Mommy. 

 We love looking out the window and watching the trash trucks.

 Outside time!

 I found out the hard way that swim diapers, after being soaked with water, will not hold pee if the child goes to the bathroom. 

 B pretended to be a baby.

 Shaving cream fun. I told Tater he could put it on his belly.  Of course, that meant that his new mission was to coat his entire body with it. 

We played with bubbles.

 We painted on the driveway with water.

 J had quite a few bongo concerts that week.

 I took Tater's grill with us.  It was quite a hit.

 Tons of pretend phone conversations.

More outside time.  They LOVE it when I draw a road for their bikes. 

 Playing hard = Excellent naps

 We set up the sprinkler and had a bike wash. 

 Jumping in puddles is always fun.

Relaxing together outside.  You know they are getting sleepy when they end up sitting on my lap.

More playroom fun. 

 They had more pretend play where they were in a restaurant.  J was currently serving pizza. 

We played with playdough.

 Dave came to visit us one day.  The kids were thrilled to have him hang out with us.

 J's very important pretend phone call.

Yes, even I ride their bikes sometimes. 

Naps are the best.
