Daycare Valentines

I thought this year the kids and I would make their Valentines for friends at daycare.  I decided on butterflies and mice.  Both kids helped make both but Madelyn will give out the butterflies and Will the mice.

The kids coloured, helped glue and cut the mice tails.

Butterflies before I added names

Mice before we added names. Says "Mice" to be your friend.

Finished product, Will only wanted to use blue, his favourite colour!

Madelyn mixed and matched!

Coloured Ice

I got this idea from a friend of mine.  Basically coloured ice sculptures.  Kids loved it, especially making the coloured ice and mixing colours, adding snow to the water to see what would happen etc. and yes we did have soaking wet mits and ski pants and coats and everything else!

And more!

Mixing colours!

More mixing, the snow in the backyard is nicely coloured now!

Dumping!

Things that make you say Awww!

The other day Will was telling Madelyn and I how he was going to be a firefighter when he gets big.  Then he turned to Madelyn and said "Maddy when you get big do you want to be a fire girl?"  Of course she did.  Then Will asked "Do you want to live at the same fire station as me?" Again of course she did. He concluded by saying "We can fight fires together, but since I am bigger I will make sure the fire does not hurt you!"

Moments like these make all the fights worth it. 

Since then they have continued to agree that they will be a fireman and a firegirl and live at the same firestation. 

They even invited me to come visit them at their fire station! Madelyn said I could sit beside her in the fire truck.

Will

I finally convinced Will to print his name on paper!

Art Work

William has not been big on drawing or colouring, in fact Madelyn is generally more into these tasks.  This morning while drawing pictures and Will actually drew a face.  He then told me it was Grandpa David, then proceeded to draw Grandma and Auntie.

Pleased with his work! Notice the moustache?

Working on Auntie, who in the end had a big nose he said.

For a Laugh

What happens when Madelyn gets told No!

Notice how she looks up to see if you are watching? Its usually short lived and very humorous for us anyways.  Apparently it is tough being two! Oh and rules suck!
