A friend gave me some materials for a music class so I took the plunge and started it up this week.
There were four moms (including me) and 8 kids (with baby Flora).
We did songs about chores around the house and learned about high and low sounds. Here we are “dusting” with our rags.
At the end we rocked our animals to sleep.
And because this post is on music, here is a video of Ivy singing “Holy, Holy, Holy.” Listen very carefully and if you know the song you can make out the words.
Hunting eggs at my parents house – the kids loved it! They had so much fun we hid eggs 5-6 times!
Reaching way up high!
Telling the cat he found it first
See my eggs?
Hooray!
Flora liked the basket….
…cousin Jenny enjoyed the eggs.
At the end Ivy wound up on the trampoline and discovered a new game with the eggs.
The highlights of the egg hunts. Hope you can understand what they say – it’s pretty cute!
Lance:
Near Daddy’s work – such a handsome fellow!
I want you!
My little man.
Ivy:
Nature girl
Sisters
She lights up my life!
Flora:
Sleeping beauty
Adorable baby
Such a joyful smile!
The “twins”
May I have this dance?
A friend loves at all times…
Always there for each other.
Behold (see this and know!) children ARE a blessing from the Lord!
Last night Brian and I needed some room to think so Brian “banished” the kids to their room and put up the baby gate. To deal with the emotional trauma of being thus distanced from the adults, Lance and Ivy made up a game: Throw everything that can be moved over the gate.
I kept glancing in their direction as shoes and toys bounced into sight but they were laughing and not fighting, and it couldn’t be that bad, right? Brian said not to worry myself about it, he would clean it up.
When we were through we went to survey the damage. Every toy, block, shoe, some craft items and their clothes had been mixed together on the other side of the gate.
I decided to help with the clean up anyhow.
If you need a smile today….
