Zane and Alana tangled up together trying to play with the train set.

2009-05-03T13:33:00.002-05:00

Alana decided she wanted to follow Lydia in a class project. The idea was to follow verbal directions. Alana was told to find the paper that had a turtle on it and color it green. She has great control of hand movements and stayed in the lines...look at how the opposite hand is hold the paper, that was NOT a verbal direction, but right on que!

Lydia and Alana having snack time. They happened to be looking at another kids to spilled their milk as I took this picture. : )

Alana was asked by our teacher to color an animal...her version: Well, look close
It's a SPIDER!

Alana working on a puzzle...what a serious face. She really took preschool very "seriously"

See what I mean?

So, now Lydia decided it's her turn to see....
Zane wants to go up to the very top...............

So here they are together at the "tip top". Uncle Scott was helping a friend put up a business sign that Scott designed for them. The kids wanted to see Uncle Scotty, so that meant they got to join him up there. Isn't that what uncles are for? :)

2007-10-10T19:01:00.000-05:00

This was a cloud that Zane pointed out and said it looked like a house with one side missing! How creative and observant! Beautiful though!!

2007-10-10T18:57:00.000-05:00

The kids all piled onto the wagon for the hayrack ride to the Pumpkin patch. We enjoyed a beautiful view on the way there. When they dropped us off, we went through a corn maze!! We did manage to keep all the kids together and didn't lose a one of them. :) Then we went to gather our pumpkins from the patch, each kid got to pick their own.
