February 4, 2008 "Circus Days"

Today the kids enjoyed a fun-filled day to the circus. Seeing as the weather has not permitted us to enjoy the outdoors much and the kids begin to feel cooped up after so much time inside, I decided we needed to pretend we were going different places. They loved the circus!
We had fun walking the tight rope, taming lions and tigers, being lions and tigers, juggling, being acrobats and most of all being clowns. We had fun red paper noses and clown hats with orange hair. The kids enjoyed the clown outfits so much they literally wore them all day (except when they were sleeping!) We also watched the movie "Dumbo" so the kids could see a better example of what a circus was.

The rest of this week should be fun as well, as we take time out of our learning schedule to travel to more fun-filled places like the Zoo, the Movies and the Library. We will have fun activities, crafts and snacks that correspond with each day!

On other news: my mom and sister will be arriving on the 19th of February and staying as needed in order to help out with my family and with daycare stuff. I am now going once a week to the doctors until Judd is born, so I will be able to keep you better informed of what is going on with the
pregnancy as well.

Please do not hesitate if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions for me! I welcome them all.
