Friday: Play!–Take a Smile Stroll

Friday, April 3rd, 2009 in Friday: Play!

I have to be honest, this week I have felt not so “smilie”. I have spent the past 18 weeks working towards my goal of running a marathon and with only 5 weeks left I have to stop. I also have to now go to two different specialists to help myself learn to walk correctly and […]

Friday: Play!—“I See” Game

Friday, March 27th, 2009 in Friday: Play!

Amazing Amber from Because Babies Grow Up is here as my guest today sharing a fun activity to do with the kidddos! We are happy to have her! Our favorite game we named “I see…” It’s a lot like I spy… but without the guessing. I love this game because we can play it anywhere, […]

Friday: Play!—A Bag of Stale Marshmallows!

Friday, March 20th, 2009 in Friday: Play!

What could we possibly be doing to have fun with a bag of really stale marshmallows, toothpicks and water?   We made a bridge by trying out different patterns to see what would hold up as a floating device to run our cars over. We learned about shapes, patterns, how things float and most importantly used […]

Friday: Play!—St. Patricks Day!

Friday, March 13th, 2009 in Friday: Play!

For St. Patrick’s Day I don’t have to think of anything special to do because my sister and brother in law throw a big party for the kids every year! They start off by reading a St. Patrick’s children’s book from the library. They always cut out green footprints and tape them on the floor […]

Momma is tired, which is probably why she let us dump tons of water and soap on the table and run a car wash. Life is good.

Friday: Play!—Valentines Day Craft

Friday, February 6th, 2009 in Friday: Play!, Crafts

Since we had an extreme amount of buttons leftover from out last button craft, I have been looking for ideas to use them up! I saw this fantastic idea for a Valentines Button Card on this blog (by the way the picture above is HER card, not mine 🙂 ) We collected our dozens of […]

Friday: Play!–Nature–Investigate!!

Friday, January 30th, 2009 in Friday: Play!, Nature

This is the most excited I have seen Abby in a long time (and she is a pretty easily excited gal), the thing I love is this took NO EFFORT on my part. No putting together supplies, no spending money to have fun and that (along with many other reasons) is why I love spending […]

Friday: Play!—Stuck

Friday, January 23rd, 2009 in Friday: Play!

The past few days we have been stuck in doctor’s offices, hospitals and labs. Nothing too serious, Baby Girl has scary low iron that has gotten even lower and we are trying to figure out why. We have spent HOURS stuck in different places. What We Do to Survive (yes survive is the right word) 1. […]

Friday: Play!—Predicting the Weather by the Clouds

Friday, January 16th, 2009 in Friday: Play!, Nature

    It is sometimes hard to think of things to do out in Nature when it is so cold. Although, the clouds are always there and during the winter months are always changing. Check out a book about the different kinds of clouds from the library and every day go outside to try and […]
