We also tried to be creative and make puppy cupcakes. While they weren’t aesthetically pleasing, they were delicious!

This is what the finished product was supposed to look like:

Playdate at the library!

Last week we met up with Carolyn and Olivia. We hadn’t seen them in a couple of weeks since Jayden, Hayzel & May were sick. We met at the library for a Space Explorer story time and craft.

One of the librarians, Miss Alyssa, read several stories about space to the children.

Then they started their craft.SAM_0424

Leapfrog, Reading & Swimming!

I put on the alphabet leapfrog show from Netflix and the boys decided to join Cait!

I’ve also decided to start implementing a 30 minute a day reading session. I had Jayden read aloud to Cait & I. Caitlin tucked in Woody to hear the stories too.

The boys also got in trouble for walking in the shallow end when they were supposed to swim all the way. Alex called them back and made them swim again!

Cait spent her time playing on the bleachers even though I kept telling her to sit down.
