Grothaus-isms!

Didn't get to this conversation before "yucky" words were said to one another: (Gavin wanted Gunner to put on a tutu & Gunner wanted to play with his fishing pole.)

Gavin: Just put this on!
Gunner: No, I fixing my fishing pole.
Gavin: Well, you're a snapper!
Gunner: You're a pee pee!
Gavin: You're a bad tutu!
(Enter Mom who takes back control.)

Bears & Ballerinas, OH MY!

This evening I sent my baby off to her first "dance" class...ok, so it was more of a "mommy & me" activity class, but we call it dance. I got her in after the spring session already started so we were the newbies tonight. She will be going one night a week with the other five kiddos in the class until the end of March. During April & May, she & one other girl in the class will continue to go to class & start practicing for the recital. Although I think she's really to young to be expected to perform in front of a large audience, I couldn't pass on the idea of basically getting private lessons. While she enjoyed the stations in class tonight, at one point she pointed to the other girls dancing in the other room & said "I do that!" It was really cute!

Gavin continues to go to Awana Cubbies on Wednesday nights with his friend, Moses. He wanted to pose in his Cubbie Bear shirt so he could send a picture to Cael.

Hi Ho, Hi Ho

OOOHHH...this was a fun little activity! I took a package of little bugs that I found in the party isle at Wal-Mart & froze them in platic containers. As shown, the kids then took hammers, aka ice picks, & freed the bugs. They loved it! The next time I will use larger bowls so that they have to work a bit harder to get to the bugs.

Bring on the sunshine!
