Buckets of Fun!

"Oh WOW!", is what we heard over and over and over again when the children found these big buckets waiting for them as they entered the room after nap time!"Oh, wow!"

We felt so strong picking them up and walking around with them......

Look at the cutest smile ever!  He had a clever idea and tried to get inside the bucket!

It didn't work out quite like he hoped it would! ;0)

The yellow seemed to be the favorite of the bunch!

We loved the sound it made when we banged on it! 

Aven screamed with excitement!!!!

But then it was time to put something IN them........

We even found a way to put them inside of each other!!!!!

But in the end, Zoey was proud of her "collection!" 

Birthday Fun on Friday, April 15th

We have so many birthdays this month! We are having so much fun celebrating, and this Friday, one of the parents has arranged for some special visitors!

EJC Farms will come for one of our children's birthday parties, and they are bringing a petting zoo as well as a pony carousel!

The party will be from 2 - 4 so please make sure you sign the permission slip to allow your child to participate in petting and riding the animals.

They are located at the front computer and by your child's classroom.

The Taste Test

Ahhhh...... this looks good!  It took us no time to dive into the papaya taste test!

We jumped right in and grabbed the chunks of papaya to taste.  And we loved it!  Much sweeter than the avocado..........

But the seeds are like something we have never seen before!  Small, black and slimy!

Aven tried to pick them up with a spoon......

But the seeds were not as tasty as the papaya ;0)

The boys enjoyed picking up the papaya with the spoons.......

Finally!  "I got one on the spoon!"

Right as it was about to go in my mouth!!!!  It was swiped away!!!!

"Good!  No one around, I get to enjoy my own piece of papaya!"

"Now let me see why Aven is so interested in these seeds...."

"Here, you want some more?"

"Let me taste them......"

"Oh, no Aven, these do not taste good, let me take them out of the bowl for you......"

"Fine, I'll just eat them straight out of the papaya!"

"These seeds just stick to your hand!"

"I think I am in favor of the slices, they taste great and I don't have to deal with the seeds!" ;0)

"Lets eat the whole plate!"

"I am glad everyone enjoyed the papaya, but can some one get me something out of here????  I didn't really like it so much!" ;0)

Lets Try Papaya!

We had such a good experience exploring the avocado, that we can't wait to see what the children do when they are faced with THE PAPAYA!!!!

Tomorrow, we will see what happens!  Stay tuned ;0)
