"Get Moving" week!

This year, when the kids come, Maddie plays games, gets out puzzles and books. Once everyone gets to play and get reacquainted with all the other kids, they have "Circle Time" and then they go to different stations: Cooking, Yoga/Stretching, Spanish, Crafts, Wii Dance, etc.
Having lots of craft stuff is a blast!!

Full-sized "Dolls"The kids are tracing their bodies and then making clothes out of paper (reminds me of my beloved paper dolls as a girl) which look awesome!
These are STARFISH
These were scary LIONS roaring at me!
Puzzle time

We made banana zucchini whole wheat muffins :)

Week Two: Space Journey

Space Ships!
made by Breil, Ella, Julia, Brittany & Katelyn

Working on their "Crafts" ~ Space Crafts!



Then they each took turns in our space ship!



This week's theme: Space Journey
prompted the creation of a huge rocketship
which the kids signed and decorated and "flew in"
under leaderships of Captain Nicolas and
Co-commander, Colin.
Our home-made rocket, with Maddie
and helpers, Nick and Colin

Maddie is shocked by this alien's visit
(did he come up through our toilet?
nice background in the photo!)

Here is the other "alien" who came to visit the kids this week!

Dancing to the VBS (Vacation Bible School) tunes from a
week/CD entitled "Galatic Blast Off!"
Maddie and Nick and her other "assistant",
Madison, all attended a week of VBS recently
and lead the kids in some rousing song and dance about God's Love in Jesus.

Here's some of our cute boys shooting off rockets--
Our cub scout troop (greatest den leader of all time)
made this and we borrowed it to shoot
paper rockets SKY HIGH!
