Fun Foam Creatures..

Today I made a BIG Blunder. We had a pretty late night yesterday (2:00am!!). This morning, got the kids all ready and picked up Ru and U and on the way to Lowes for the 'Build and Grow Clinic', I realized that we had reserved for next week instead of today. I announced it to the kids and got them mentally prepared that we could just try to attend today's session or go home and do some fun craft project.Either ways, they were excited. Lowes was a no-go! We explored around Lowes for a while and then got home. The kids started off on their foam creatures right away. Well, not right , right away but ..you know what I mean! Ofcourse they spent a good fifteen minutes deciding who wants what. And then, they started right away :)

Ru made a Froggie(she wanted the shark), U made a Ladybug, N settled for a turtle (she wanted the froggie), R was persistent for a Shark and S got her hands on the bunny. I must admit that they all worked it out between themselves and I did not have to intervene. Good Job guys!!

A Turtle was Rescued...

Guess what we found in the pool? A little stranded turtle struggling to get out of the water..Hubby decided to bring it home for a couple of hours so N and R could see it as well since they were still in school. After a quick look-up, we decided to give him some veggies that I had on hand. We kept him in my fish bowl. (Yes, that same fish bowl that used to have my two poor fish!). I had not told the kids about this little surprise and they indeed were excited. N wanted to hold it in her hand right away and she sure did. Then R wanted to follow suit while S was hiding behind anything and everything she could find yet secretly admiring him. About half an hour later,hubby and kids went to the pool side and let him back in the woods and to wish him good luck hoping he would find his family again.

Later that day, N decided to write a report on her findings of the little turtle. She did well. One day when I get around to it, I may scan it and upload it. Yes, one day!!
