Our new sandbox!

Kids LOVE this sensory activity! It's very relaxing and satisfying for them.

I love Catriona's imagination... Our fairie house!
Ah, the Easter Bunny wouldn't forget the fairies!

March mud pies anyone...

Mud....mud...I love mud....I can't go around it, I've got to go through it, absolutely, fabulous MUD!

It was awesome to watch Catriona and Harry play for almost 2 hours this day, in the mud alone!

And the funniest part of this day was how my son was inspired enough by the mud chocolate cakes, that he decided to come in and actually make us all one!!!!Awww

Spring and March...

FINALLY, the Spring nature table! The kids have been enjoying it!

Spring, Spring....Spring is here!!!! My favorite moment is when I hear the song birds singing again! Natures symphony...

Catriona insisted I take a picture of her with her babies...she was my only child today and she made the most of her time without the day care kids...

Two of my favorite puzzles the girls put together, they were very proud!

I was feeling crafty, so I sewed two dolly blankets and two pillows for Catriona's dolls...

I whipped this dress up in a jiffy...I guess she liked it, she wore it two days in a row!

They all enjoy cooking.

These rainbows came out sooo cute! I should add a picture of them finished...

Look who's walking!!!! Little miss Gabriella! She's zooming around even more since this picture was taken! (sorry it's blurry but i was laughing and hurrying with the camera)

I loved this! Catriona just created it all on her own...then our cat came over and actually pushed a couple of them out of order! lol Catriona made sure to fix it...so I snapped a shot of it since it meant so much to her...

Child Care fun in January 09!

Aren't these snowpeople adorable! I made them for Catriona and the kids, for the Snowpeople counting song! Catriona loved it :)

Here is a counting game I made for the kids, the pebbles are suppose to resemble "ice"!

Catriona is testing it out :)

Reading while I was cleaning up...

Hasn't she grown, miss ONE year old! :) Happy Birthday Gabriella!!!

Here are the kids playing with the Winter nature table!

It was much too cold to play in the snow OUTside, so I brought the snow INside!!! The kids LOVED it!!! :)

Nature's Nest holiDAYS :)

December was a lot of fun with the Child Care children! We kept busy with our imaginations of Santa coming and crafts and activities! It has been far too cold to go out much, like 0 and below, cold!!! brrr!

Giving baby dolls a bath...The one Catriona has is mine when I was her age and the other one is the same doll we found at a salvage store! I couldn't believe it! Mine is over 39 or so, years old!

Yes they all look the same, but those antlers are the kids own hand print and they loved that :)


On this day my niece and nephew visited! The only one not in this picture is the baby, who is 1 year old now! I got her when she was 3 months old...she's still a wee peanut though :)

One of the kids had the left side and Catriona was working on the right...I loved what she did! She is very abstract with her art, just like her big sister!

Daycare play!

More summer fun!

This girl knew how to make the best mud cakes I've seen since I was a kid! :)

What a little turkey, decided to splash in the mud all over everyone, but he got the worst of it...just look at that face though! Awww...

Yum! Veggies fresh from our garden, sauteed to perfection!

The kids actually ate most of it too!

Happy, happy birthdya little buddy :)







Picking from the garden was her favorite thing to do all summer :)
