"Ocean in a Bottle"

Today we made "Ocean in a Bottle" projects. We used the sand
and shells we collected on our many fun summer beach trips.

Desiree sifted the shells and rocks out of the sand
and then counted 10 shells for each bottle.

Painting Fun!!!

Today 9/6/2009 the children were so excited to
paint more of our projects we have been making.

They painted frames, trucks, message boards, and a bookcase.

We also added eyes to our ladybug napkin holders we painted

last week. The pictures below are the finished products.

The children love making these product every weekend at

Home Depot. They use sandpaper, hammers, glue, nails,

and screwdrivers. Then when we get them home they love

painting them. They are very creative and love making things.

Labor Day ~ Kidsville

We had fun at Kidsville today. Of course one of their favorite
things is playing dress-up. Tatiana's favorite was the Tigger
costume, Caleb's favorite was the Spiderman costume, and
Desiree favorite was the Superwoman costume.

But the best part of this trip to Kidsville was having Daddy

join us. This was his first time. He was very impressed and

fun watching and playing with Desiree, Caleb, and Tatiana.

We Love The Beach!

Amazing Resemblance

Desiree and Tatiana both 27 months old.
