Musings from the Week of October 18, 2010


What week...with the school age kids having two half days for teacher conferences, the week proved to be busy and exciting. What a great time all the older kids had creating towers and tracks with the little guys.
The older kids took a field trip to the Notebaert Nature Museum this Thursday...what a fabulous museum...for young and old. We had the chance to see two exhibits. Ask them about lock and damns....they had such fun experimenting how to move a boat through a lock without it capsizing and really how to flood a neighborhood with a damn...Liam and Olivia really were able to fill every crack and get the water quite high...
Joe and Olivia continued to have a blast at Preschool, even saying that they wanted to stay on Thursday when we had to drop Thomas off...instead we came home and had a tea party!
Jimmy continues to defy gravity...he's one to keep an eye on...anything he can climb he will...maybe a lumber jack is in our midst?
This week we welcomed back Sierra and her brother Kegan. They will be with us on and off in the afternoons till the Holidays. Olivia and Thomas were particularly excited to see Sierra again...and Elliot quite happy to have Kegan join Zeno, Viveck and he in their imaginative play...
Here's to another week...if you have not let me know that you need care on the 5th for school age kids please do....our spots are limited because Marisol is taking a much needed vacation for the 4th and 5th of November.

The First

As many of you know I have been trying to play around with the media to find a fun and easy way to communicate. Also a place to post pictures and upcoming events. As the year moves on and we get into our curriculum for the younger kids, and projects for the older ones, this hopefully will provide a forum for reminders and pictures.

I have included a link to the weekly menu on the side bar, as well as a link to the former website on Shutterfly, so that you can return to see the pictures. If you had family that had subscribed to the site, I will send them an invitation to this site as well.

If you have suggestions or ideas for this let me know.

Enjoy!
