Oh what a busy fun day it was today. It makes for a really good day when the kids are cooperative, willing, and excited!
First, Cason was so excited to tell us all about his time with Spark.
Here is some of what they did together…
- Let sister take a nap with Spark.
- Took Spark to visit cousins.
- Took Spark to church and let him wait in the car.
- Let Spark sleep with him at night.
- Read Scriptures together.
- Took Spark for a ride in the jeep.
- Spark loved it when he spun him around.
I am so glad that you took such good care of him Cason, and you two had so much fun!!!
Today was all about C’s & D’s. Our main focus was on Dinosaurs. We made fossils today! The kids were excited about them. We had to do them first thing since they had to cook. I hope the 2 hours was long enough. They were still a little soft!
We also did Flags for Flag day. Here is a little information about flag day;
Flag Day not as widely recognized as other major holidays around the world and it does take a “back seat” to July 4. But Flag Day is meant to draw attention to the so-called “stars and stripes” that make up the flag of the United States of America. This flag pattern was created and adopted as the official flag of the U.S. shortly after the country declared its independence from England.
This day became special in the early months of the Civil War. Apparently the first celebration took place in 1861 in Connecticut. Less than two decades later, the federal government declared that all public buildings should display the flag on June 14 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the flag’s adoption (1777-1877). That was the beginning of what is now an annual event. June 14 of each year is very popular now, though it is not an official holiday, as are July 4, Memorial Day.
Some of our flags ended up being red, white, and pink! 
While the paint was drying they made dinosaurs out of play dough…soon they ended up putting all sorts of animals in the dough. Such imaginations!
The finished projects… Happy Flag Day tomorrow!
For free play they all started out outside. That didn’t last very long for most of them. It was cold, and starting to storm. But, Bridger & Deegan found themselves occupies shooting birds…
The girls played dress up, and were beautiful princesses…
And Cason wanted to be the baby puppy when he came in from outside…
It is so cute to listen to them play, and interact with each other. They played “Star Wars” today, Justin Beiber was eating lunch with them at one point, and so so much more!
Emma got to take Spark home, so it will be fun to see what great adventure they go on over the next few days!
