Dinos & More

Last week we studied Dinosaurs in our co-op pre-school. The kids had fun reading stories, learning information and making fun dinosaur crafts all week long. Camie (my friend that does pre-school w/ us) and I decided that since it is only 20 minutes away, we would take a trip up to Eccles Dinosaur park in Ogden. The kids had a blast looking at all the dinosaurs and playing at the park. We took sac lunches and spent 5 hours in total exploring and learning.

Dannik is my little ham (wonder where he gets that from?). The minute he saw this dinosaur, he walked up to it & made this scared face! I just had to get a picture.

Kieran loved going down this slide. I would put him at the top & he got all excited & started scooting up little by little until he started going down. It was perfect for him because it went right to the sand with no drop off. Such a little cutie.

The kids had fun being paleontologists, digging in the sand to find bones. I couldn't resist getting this picture of Markay's "plumber's crack". She's so skinny, she has the hardest time keeping her pants all the way up!

Mommy moments from the week:

Markay has started using a phrase often this week that melts my heart & truly makes me smile (and sometimes feel a little sheepish)...especially when she says it right after or even during getting scolded. She looks right at me and says, "Mama , You're the best!"

Today I was teaching Dannik how to sing the alphabet song in French. Kieran LOVES music and was singing along saying "Ah, Ah" the whole time. It was very cute. Later Dannik looked at me and said, "Mommy, I think when Kieran starts talking, he's going to speak French!"
