Crafts in the Schneider House

I take a deep breath. I tell myself I can do it. And I prepare for the worse. But I still do it over and over.

My kids love to make a mess. My kids love to finger paint, play with shaving cream, use glitter and glue in their artwork. I have tried to just use crayons and markers but this does no hold their interest.

Here are a few of the crafts, we have done over the last month…

ICE CREAM DAY – after the craft we went to Baskin Robbins for a treat. (Mommy needed it).

First Day of School

I tried getting pictures of the kids on their first day of school. However, as soon as we walked outside, my camera kept fogging up due to the humidity. So sorry for the blurry pictures.

Well, the kids are growing up so fast. I cant believe my little girl will be in kindergarten next year. (sniff sniff). Looking back at the past three years, I cant believe how fast she is growing up. Kayla loves being in school. Kayla is in the Zebra class at First Baptist Weekday Education.

2010 First Day of School

Christian LOVES going to school. So much, that he is going five days a week. I am so happy for that decision. Last year, school was daycare. This year, he is learning in class and thrives for the knowledge. Every morning, Christian is ready to go to the Frog class at First Baptist Weekday Education or “Zach’s Class” at Christ Lutheran Learning Center (Zach is one of his buddy’s). I was a bit worried about the little guy when I enrolled him. He likes to sleep. During the summer, both Kayla and Christian (mainly Christian) would sleep until 9 and even 9:30. Then in the afternoon, Christian would take a 2-3 hours nap. I had no idea how he was going to cope waking up at 7:15 and taking a 45-60 minute nap. But the trooper is doing great and loving the fact that he is a “big” boy.

Lemonade for Eighty Dollars

Kayla and two of her friends (Luke and Lori), set up a lemonade stand the other week while the mommy’s had a garage sale.  Too cute!!! I will have to say that I was very surprised at how much they got into the selling.  Now, I think half the lemonade ended up being drank by the kids rather then the customers. Oh well.  No matter how often I told the kids 25 cents a glass or bag of cookies, the kids tried for more…1 dollar, 25 dollars and even 80 dollars.
