I got to help at Quinten's preschool today. It was fun. I got to do lots of cutting. It's almost Valentines so I got to cut hearts and stuff out of lovely pink, purple, blue, and red paper. The kids made large hearts, and stuck little ones all over as a valentine for their mom or dad. Easy for them, with nice results and not much clean up. Here is Quin's front and back.

This past Monday, we did a craft with the boys making a piggy bank. They have been wantingto make it for a long time. I kept putting it off saying that we neede dto wait till dad could help. So Monday evening, we were all here, so we got out the glue and paper and did a sort of paper maiche (sp?) to make this peanut butter jar into a pig. I did the face. I should have made it while on the jar, cause it turned out upsidedown! We have yet to fix that and paint our creation. Last Saturday we had Zach over. He and Malachi played really well together. They built towers with out too much fighting, and they had a snack using a measuring spoon and a melon baller for utensils.

Thanx for the encouraging words Mandy. I mostly get the feeling that we don't do enough cause they complain so often that they are bored! I have this niggling feeling though that they don't know what gratitude really is. But a wise person once said something to the effect that children never appriciate their parents until they are parents themselves. So on that note, I would like to, whole heartedly, say a huge THANKYOU to my parents for all the fun things they did with us, all the treats we got, and for the opportunity to learn real gratitude in the leaner times.
