Frogs and Polliwogs

CJ learned about skunks this week and even pet one!

EckelExplorers

In an attempt to cease the hibernation period, we are going to begin to explore our new home town. After all, "Cleveland Rocks," right? Once a week we are hoping to leave the house and "explore." First stop, The Rainforest at the Cleveland Zoo and a heated bus ride and stop at the primates and wolves. We were the only people there at times!

Olympics

I'm working on trying to extend Rys very short school day by creating lesson plans for the week.  Today we worked on tallying medal counts for the top countries.


Sheriff Callie

There is a new show on Disney Junior named Sheriff Callie :-)!  It has provoked the kids to play "Wild West."  My creative littles pull out sleeping bags and wild animals into the hallway.  Cowboy hats and bandanas, along with princess dresses, are worn.  Lights are turned off and camping at night takes place with flashlights.  Callie Jae told Missi on the phone yesterday that Rylan is "my cowboy" and "I am the princess."  I'd love to think this play lasts forever, but I'll enjoy it while it lasts!








Organization

It's hard to keep things organized when the house is torn apart, but I was feeling the need to make something easier.  I'm hoping this saves us some time and morning disagreements by selecting the weeks clothes together on Sundays.  So far so good!

Malley's CHOC

We had some time to spare before getting Ry today, so why not get a hot fudge Sunday when it's -5* outside 😊!

Braving the cold! SNOW much fun!

This made me laugh...

Ry:  Mommy, Oliver wants to have a play date with me.

Me:  Is that what he told you?

Rylan:  No, his mom did.  She was volunteering today.  So I gave her your phone number.
