The latest projects

These kids sure do love their daddy!!! Don't you just love this picture of Jeff with his arms and hair sticking out of his head, looks just like him eh? I don't know if you can make it out, but Walter also copied "Daddy" there.
For a couple of years now I have been saving anything that has a picture on it, greeting cards, post cards , etc. Anyway, Walter has been practicing cutting and then gluing them onto paper to make collages. I thought this one was cute because he told me to write this little message on it for Jeff (he also copied his name on their) and then we had to tape it onto the door for him to see when he got home, what a little sweet heart! A couple days ago too I caught Rose E singing "daddy, daddy, daddy I love daddy."


Yesterday was the first day of Sunday school and then we had our annual picnic at Mclain's park. The kids love it because they always have games too and Walter won this playdoh there. Anyway, usually Rose E is napping when Walter plays with playdoh so she was thrilled to have her first stab at that funny looking green stuff. She mostly used this Popsicle stick and her fingers to poke at it and then thought it would be fun to launch pieces off the table onto the floor. She has been so into throwing lately, I can always tell when she is done eating because she starts to launch her food to the dog before saying "down" (get down). Also, when she wants something she has been saying "want that." We had to laugh too because the other night she didn't want to go to sleep so she was in her bedroom saying "me all done, down." As a protest too she will throw out her socks, toys and books from her crib then get even more mad, what a goof! Her other new words have been "chocolate" "bock, bock" for chicken and "horsey."

I also added this last picture of Walter. To keep him entertained while I was getting lunch ready today I had him sort out these fruit loops by color. Then we counted them and talked about which colors we had the most of and which colors we had the least of. I had to laugh though because they all turned into trains and each one was labeled as a train, a train plow, a hopper car, a gondola, a box car or a caboose. He sure does have a passion for those trains!
