Closed August 5

We were notified yesterday that the funeral will be August 5 -- I will be closed for the whole day. Thank you so much for understanding.

Upcoming closure...

We had a close family member pass away today so I will be needing a day off to attend the funeral - most likely this week -- and I will let you know as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Everybody is busy!

Build a helicopter at Lowe's

Just a fun thing you might be interested in doing with your kiddo(s) on Saturday, July 25, 10:00 - 11:00...

To find out if your Lowe's is participating go to Lowe's Build and Grow Clinic, you will be able to sign up as well. On August 8th the project will be a power boat. I checked and it seems McMinnville is participating but I did not check on Tigard and Hillsboro.

Where are the children?

I've looked and looked and looked....and called and called......they are nowhere to be found!

FINALLY...............

Did I scare you?! haha!

They have spent most of the day in this tent!
Do you guys want to come out and play with the cars? Nope.....do you want to go play with the kitchen? No......books? blocks? draw? No!
Outside? YEAH.....for about 20 minutes and then it was back to the tent, LOL!

I'm glad they are enjoying it!

Thank you all so much....

I always brag about how wonderful my child care families are......and you really are the best! Thank you so much for making today very special.

Here is a picture of the yummy cupcakes we are going to share after naps. I'm so mean....not letting them eat yet, hehe.

Room in progress....

I have a little advice should you decide to tackle a home project....do not choose the hottest weekend of the summer unless you have air conditioning (I do not)!

After lots of HEAT, STEAM and good old fashioned elbow grease the wallpaper border came down, new paint, wood trim, etc....almost all in place. OH, never, ever paint a wall DARK BLUE. We still have a lot to do but it is already so much brighter. The walls are a bit bare but I hope to get things in place the next few weeks. We brought in the new equipment as well for the children to enjoy.

Our fun movie day...

The kids were excited about movie day today! They had forgotten (and I wisely didn't mention it) until I reminded them of it after lunch! My original movie choice didn't arrive from netflix in time so last night I ran to Redbox at McD's and got Stanley the Stinkbug Goes to Camp. Cute little movie and only about 35 minutes which was perfect since we had spent the last two hours playing outside and they were exhausted.

Can you guess what the best part was? Yep....getting to have yummy treats while watching the movie. I bought these cute popcorn containers at the dollar store and put some little crackers, teddy grahams and popcorn in them -- it was a hit! Luna thought it looked yummy too!

Just sharing a cute picture of Taylor who loves to find little places to hide...
