Daily Adventures at Rose's House Monday June 7, 2010

We are so happy to have Gianni back for the summer! Later this week we will also have two other children joining our group for the summer. Trinity has been here before school all year, and CJ is returning after being gone for over a year. There will also be several other school age kids in and out on a part time basis. It's going to be a great summer. 

Here is some of the fun we had today.

Austin, Gianni, and Gabe have been making lots and lots of "keys" out of pipe cleaners.

We had lots and lots of playdough fun today. Awesome homemade playdough recipe here.

It's a green elephant!

The outdoor art center.

Fun with Gears!

Cc is the letter of the week.

Austin feeding Kaleb and watching Gianni play games on the playstation.

Look Rose, we found a snail!

Lacing buttons and cards.

Landon worked very carefully to build this tower of wooden blocks. He was concentrating so hard and was so proud of himself for how high he was able to build it.

It's been a good day and there's more fun coming up tomorrow!

Daily Adventures at Rose's House

We started our morning off with some cooking. Michael and Hunter helped me mix up some snack crackers (recipe here) that I've been wanting to make for a long time. I just never remembered when I was making the menu or in the store. It had been a long time since I had eaten them and they were every bit as good as I remembered.

After we got the crackers in the oven Michael and Hunter tore up the bread pieces for Overnight Sausage Egg Casserole (recipe here).

Austin mixed up the liquid ingredients for the casserole.

Earlier this morning I had mixed up some of this wonderful playdough using a recipe I found over at Counting Coconuts. The recipe is found here. This is such a simple and fun recipe. The texture is great and adding a little vanilla too the dough gives it a wonderful smell. The kids just loved it.

Bug Hunting

Austin and Gabe playing Go Fish with a set of I Spy Go Fish cards.

I'm not sure what the dramatic conversation here was about but it looked interesting.

Our letter of the week is Bb. Here some of the kids are coloring their Bb books. I printed these books from DLTK Kids using these templates.

It had been awhile since I had taken the kids for a walk and they were asking to go this evening so we did.

Tackle Amanda!

I forget sometimes how much good it does us just to get out and walk and have a change of scenery. We're fortunate to have a nice place to do this.

And those were some of the day's adventures at Rose's House. More fun coming up tomorrow.
