From Left to Right: turkey hot dogs, ham, apple slices, turkey hot dogs, cheerios, tortilla, ham, cheerios, cheese, cheese, kiwi, kiwi
Yes, I used the circle cookie cutters on the cheese, kiwi, ham, and tortilla... it was fun:-)
I took a picture of Cadence's muffin tin, but it didn't go with the shapes theme. She just had the scraps from what was left over after cutting out sister's circles.
This isn't a very good picture of the girls, but they all wanted to take a picture together and that doesn't happen often, so I decided to include it.
She had the best time talking to herself in the mirror today.
Yes, that is a toothbrush in her mouth and no it is not her toothbrush. It happens to be Lyric or Story's she was missing them so much today she walked around chewing on their toothbrushes. I know I should have taken them away because that is kind of gross, but they were keeping her happy and I really didn't think the girls would care. (They tried to clean rocks with their toothbrushes the other day, what is a little baby slobber?)
She knew she was cute!
Story chose red paint and Lyric chose purple, but I think Lyric ended up sharing with Story, so she has red and purple binoculars.
Cadence didn't make binoculars, but she had a good time playing at the park.
While we waited for the paint on our binoculars to dry we had a picnic. I love this shot of Lyric. She was HUNGRY!
I pulled off a coner of half a sandwich for Cadence...
She decided to take the big piece.
This was the girls first time on a merry go round. Well, Lyric had been on one before, but she was too little and didn't remember.
Ms. Jenn read a book with lots of "B" words in it.
Hunting for all of the "B" objects: book, baby, bow, balloon,bottle, and ball
It was a simple little craft, but the girls loved it! And will be playing with their binoculars for days to come!
Story worked really hard counting out the four sticks we needed for the bananas. (Yes, she is naked). She made sure she had enough by counting them twice.
She enjoyed using the butter knife to cut the banana. (Note to self: Teach Story that the whole knife is not used for cutting. There is a difference between the blade and the handle)
Lyric spooning on the chocolate.
Story apparently missed her banana when she was adding the chocolate.
The finished product.
The bananas had to chill for an hour, but the girls had plenty of chocolate and sprinkles to lick off their hands.
Enjoying the bananas.
Next week the theme is shapes...what shall we do...
The back is plain.
I used the front pocket for the front of Story's and
On Tuesday, we went to the library. It was our last Spanish story time for a while. Our library is closing for over a month to remodel! I know it is needed and it will be a good thing, but that is a long time to close! We are going to have to try one of the other nearby libraries.
They each had to have a turn on the digger.
Cadence didn't know what to think of the sand at first, but she eventually decided to play with it and taste it.
We filled our egg carton up with rocks. There weren't any really unusual ones at this park, but it was fun anyway.
On Wednesday, it was Lyric's turn to host Kids in the Kitchen for our play group. We decided to make Fudge in a Bag. 
On Wednesday night to complete our celebration of Rock Collecting Day we decided to paint our rocks. We took our painting supplies outside to the picnic table and I got Story all set up.
I then had to go back in the house to get something... maybe Cadence... I don't know. While I was gone Lyric decided to get the red paint herself. Needless to say, we are about out of red paint now:-)
Lyric used the glitter paint to put a design on her red rock. Does anyone know what to do with a bunch of painted rocks?
Cadence really, really wanted to paint. 
I had this great idea that I would get a bowl of water and let her paint with water. The bowl of water lasted about a second and a half before she dumped it out. Although, she did enjoy playing with the brush and bowl.
]Lyric almost flung peanut butter in her eye trying to fill the cup it landed just below her right eye.
Yes, Story made the edible play doh naked. Are you surprised?
Lyric had to really squeeze Mr. Honey Bear!
Cadence was not all excited about playing with her play doh!
Story Bell posing with her pile,
and Miss Lyric.
Lyric made a monster.
I made a flower. I made a few other things, but they all had the mini chocolate chips in them, so I ate 'em.
Cadence made a mess.
Lyric used the cookie cutters to make flowers with lots and lots of sprinkles for pollen.
On Thursday we decided to walk to the park. This time everyone rode in the wagon and I remembered to take water. The weather has been so nice lately! We played for a while and then headed back home.
There was a really sweet little boy named Owen who was at the park and he really tried to make friends with Lyric, but she wanted no part of it! I was so frustrated with her, she
Yes, Miss Lyric insisted on taking her purse. I'm not real sure what she had so valuable in there.
She looks so old in this picture!
We continued our celebration of National Play Doh Day on Friday by making regular play doh. I learned one thing about myself while we were doing this--I LOVE me some neon food coloring! It is so cute!
Our cooked mashed potato consistency (well, lumpy mashed potatoes).
The end result. Aren't the colors pretty?
Well, that concludes our week. We were supposed to go with our play group to Berry Springs Park (our favorite) on Friday, but Cadence was pretty snotty, so we decided to keep our germs to ourself and hang out at home.
Next week, we are looking forward to celebrating: National Elephant Appreciation Day (22nd), Johnny Alppleseeds Birthday (24th) and National Chocolate Milk Day (27th). We will be sure to let you all know how it goes.
