Beauty and the Beast, featuring Gabrielle Raab

Gabrielle did another wonderful job in the production of Beauty and the Beast. She was a town's person, a dancing napkin and a wolf.

There's a New Boss in Town

C.J. had his cars out and began putting them back in his backpack. Chance wanted to help, so C.J. took advantage of this act of kindness and started pointing to each car, telling Chance to pick them up. You can see his left arm pointing.

We had our backyard landscaped, and this is one of our new trees. C.J. wanted you all to see how big it is!

"Can we make a line D-yell?"

C.J. brings a backpack full of cars, and asks if he can make a "line" with them. He'll line them all up, put them away, and do it all over again. If his collection continues to grow, his line will be as long as the entire basement!

You may have noticed Cailyn's presence has lessened. Her mom and dad are on summer break, so she comes only one day a week. It's amazing how kids change and grow when you only see them once a week.

Mmm, watermelon!

A few weeks ago, you wouldn't catch Avery even sharing food with Chance.

Having a ball!

Yes, C.J. has had 5 pieces of watermelon.

Is the watermelon sour??

Nemo Flashcards

In order to decide what our next activity was going to be (they each had different suggestions), we played Nemo flashcards and whoever got the most correct, got to choose our next adventure. Made things much easier!

Avery was the Nemo know-it-all.

Oh, So Silly

"Look people, it's been a rough day okay."

The kids have started doing workout routines. Here, Chance demonstrates his push-up skills. Avery and C.J. joined in a bit later, and I was impressed with their abilities.

Just dancing around.

Chance spun so fast, he fell over! It's pretty funny watching them on the sit-n-spin after they've slowed down - their eyes are going in circles from being so dizzy.

Explorers

The Critters love exploring anything from the grass to bugs!

"Is anyone going to push me or what?!"

C.J. and Avery had waffles with cream cheese, and decided it would be tastey to take turns dipping their fingers into each other's food. C.J. is the only kid Avery would ever let touch her food! This is how you know it's true friendship!

Chance decided he needed this shirt on, and he was going to do it all by himself!
