February School Time

I don't post a lot about our homeschooling because we are usually so busy during that time that I forget to grab my camera. We are still doing preschool at home with Jamin and Landin likes to participate so I will put together so coordinating coloring sheets and games for him. We try to do it during Dylin's nap so we have less interuptions. It is still going well and we are loving learning and exploring!

I try to have a sensory bin out at least once per week. The boys really love them. They usually start out with educational items in there like letters or letter related activities but they ALWAYS end up like the pictures below. The boys can't help but grab tractors and get to digging! I've also enjoyed seeing Dylin get in on this time too! I need to get a bigger sensory bin lol.





Dumping noodles on each other


I get a lot of my fun messy activities from pinterest or '150+ Screen-free Activities for Kids' book. This one is homemade moon sand....it was super easy to make but warning, it was super messy. Jamin played in it for 2 hours straight though so well worth the clean up. So much imaginary play goes on when we do things like this! He is my creative/artistic son though! 



This week we learned all about the letter R! Here the boys are listening to 'Somewhere over the Rainbow' and making rainbows and using the props that go along with the song. It was very sweet to hear their little voices sing along to this song...they liked the Hawaiian version better though!

Dyling observing :)

 And of course...things have to get messy at the end!



A fun shapes game we play! This is great for the end of the lesson because the boys can jump, run and play and get all those stored up wiggles out from having to sit still for school lol. 
Painting our rainbows! I tried to make it a little harder for the boys to work on their fine motor skills. I used a cotton ball and clothespin for their paintbrush!

Sun is out...Time to have fun!

I set up a part of our big slip and slide for the boys to have fun with! Mommy, may have went down it a time or two also lol. You can definitely tell a difference in our house when there is warm weather outside! Lots more silliness and fun!  Silliness during lunch...Dylin put this bucket on his head and thought it was the funniest thing ever.  Some pictures of my handsome man....I love you so much Jamin!

Daddy's Little Helper and Ice Festival

Friday Jamin and I went to visit Kyle and work and took a few pictures! Jamin loved seeing the big trucks and playing in his daddy's office.  Daddy's little Helper  Writing down important jobs to go look at  We think he's gonna be a lefty!  Taking over the business This weekend we also went to Cripple Creek for the Ice Festival! We enjoyed seeing the ice scultures and going down the ics slide!  My attempt to make peanutbutter-banana-honey sandwiches on the way home...Kyle didn't think I did very well because half of his banana was on the floor of the car :)

Road Trip Part 5

Monday morning rolled around and we decided to make our way from Bozeman down to the West Yellowstone Entrance. The drive was amazingly gorgeous!  Just driving in Harvey!  We made it to West Yellowstone but were turned away from two different RV parks because of the amount of kids we had with us. This was the first time I have ever felt looked down upon and discriminated against. I literally had one man ripped a piece of paper out of my hands because he didn't even want to consider letting that many people stay in his park. I explained to him that they are all young and well behaved kids but apparently he has had way too many bad experiences with kids. We didn't let it get us down though. We finally found one that didn't have any concerns letting 4 adults come in with 5 kiddos. The place was actually brand new and the closest RV park to the west Yellowstone entrance so we really lucked out!!! After we got checked in we decided to go into the park ...
