Sister Sass

Our favorite missionary's birthday was last week so we made posters and took pictures of ourselves for her. 

Jack spent almost an hour working on his. He added all kinds of detail, including 21 candles and a name tag with the name Sister Sass. 

Luke copied his from my page but the letters on his own. His cake had four candles because everyone is turning four. 

And Kate worked hard on her picture!

Sass loved her pictures of course! Happy birthday to her!

Fire Station Fun

We went on a field trip to the fire station! 

We invited lots of friends to join us!

We toured the station and were even allowed to stand in the bucket. 

Our favorite part was watching it lift high into the sky 

We also were able to learn about the tools on the truck and their uniforms. 

It was super fun!

Seasons

At preschool this week we studied S is for seasons. We did lots of crafts!

First off summer is sunny! We made handprint Suns!

Then while it was super stormy outside with thunder, lightning and tornado watches, we fingerpainted 

Fall means s is for stormy!

Then we snacked on smores 

Winter is snowmen, made of cotton balls. 

Spring is showers, made from our fingerprints 

We had lots of fun creating our season crafts. S is for super!!

Boats and RV's

We made our annual trip to the Boat and RV show this weekend. 

We started out with fishing 

Balloons were a hit as we explored the boats

Luke loves checking out all the different vehicles 

They all loved testing all the cool thing things out 

Swimming in February

The weather was really warm so we spent time outside playing. 

We played on the swings and with bubbles and then moved on to the water table. 

These little goofballs decided to dip their heads in the water table. Good thing is was warm for their February swim!

Post Mardi Gras Fun

On the last day of Mardi Gras break, we went to the library for a really fun story time. They learned about jazz and then painted pictures that are on display. 

Then we met up with friends for hiking around Sam Houston State Park. 

The kids ran nearly the whole way. 

We had a picnic lunch and enjoyed the fun outside before we had to get back to school. It was a beautiful day!

Shooting Hoops

These boys are very into basketball and were so excited to get this hoop!

They've been outside from morning until night practicing and even Luke can make baskets! They are some great shots!

Mardi Gras

We finally made it to some Mardi Gras parades this year after being here got four years. 

We went to the Krewe of Omega parade. 

The kids loved catching the candy and beads they threw from the floats. 

The more beads, the better!

Then we enjoyed the short and cute dog parade. All the dogs were dressed up 

It was fun to see all the costumes. 

We had so much fun that we can't wait to go again next year!

Sunny Days

We encountered a beautiful but cool day so we ran with it...right to the park 

We did some hiking. 

Luke was paranoid we might see a banana spider since we saw one last time we were there. 

We had a picnic lunch by the river. 

And then did more hiking by the bridge. 

We kept our eyes open for local wildlife. 

Then played away on the toys. 

It was a super fun day in the sunshine 

Sugar and Spice

Kate is getting to be s big girl. She is very independent and wants to do everything herself. She gets very upset when you try to help her. She climbs on everything, including the table. She refuses to sit in her high chair and wants to sit at the table. She recently started to go to nursery without much of a fuss. She's 1 going on 16. 

Park Clean Up

We had absolutely beautiful weather so we spent our preschool field trip at the park. 

We played, had a picnic and rode bikes. 

We even tried to clean up any trash we encountered. We were keeping our park beautiful on this beautiful day!
