EARTH Day!


Happy Earth Day!!! Such a fun holiday! M wanted to put on her boots as soon as she got home from school today...we didn't get a chance to splash around yesterday...so after lunch inside (too soggy to picnic outside) we came out to splash...only found one puddle left though...

Carter is just too much in his boots...he still runs around like a wildman...

He fell a few days ago outside and got another bloody nose and lip...sad! I wish I could wrap the boy in bubble wrap!

For M's special time today we made the earth...She doesn't get the whole "dab will do ya" thing.... :) She is partial to glue and not glue sticks... :) gooy goodness! I need to get some safety scissors so she can work on cutting...right now she is the glue master!

Carter and I bought this book today while Mal was in school...I have heard from several friends about how good it is and I thought...what better day to get it and start reading it with the kids than Earth Day! I am loving it so much already!!! M and I read the first part today about how God formed the earth and everything in it...

We recited this verse and she glued the cross on top of the earth to remember how much God loves us...Then she asked to watch this movie from Aunt LuLu...We watched about 10 mins before her nap and then we will finish it later (L gave it to us last yr...it was cool that M thought about watching it for Earth Day)...I am also looking fwd to reading The Lorax tonight with the kids at bedtime with Mike and maybe watching it tomorrow night as a family. I love having a theme for our day! :) And that "everyday is earth day!!!"

Here is our monkey in his monkey boots...had to stop the footage bc the monkey went around the corner of the house... :)
