Today was so fun.  I helped the older children make stepping stones to bring home and put in there gardens.  I played ball with the little ones outside and sprinkled them with the hose while the older children were able to go on our huge water slide.  I'm feeding a large group so meal time is fun- were doing it family style and the children really seem to be enjoying themselves.

I haven't been very good about updating my blog but  I will try harder to do so.  Today is the last day of elementary school and we will have 3 before and after school children with us for the summer.  We are full for the summer and with a mixture of ages it really feels like a family environment.  I'm enjoying it a lot.  I made cupcakes with my older children today-Dreamsicle.  Boy oh Boy were they Delicious.  I have some plans for crafts and games for the children for the summer.  This morning I played kick ball with the 3 and 4 yr olds.  I sang some songs with the toddlers and Infants and they had a ball chattering back at me.  The children love eating strawberries as they pick them out of my strawberry bedse  every afternoon for the last 2 weeks we have been  doing that.  The children have been helping me water my plants and vegetables and they're growing very nicely.
