Snow, Fun Run, & Painting

Before it gets too hot, I figured I'd post the "last snow" which Elias was able to take part in finally! I'm really glad we have the trampoline because it's about the only place where the snow actually sticks enough to play in (besides the deck).

 He laughed lots crawling back and forth on the trampoline brushing snow with his gloves. His boots were a little big (hence one off, and the other backwards) and he wore my mittens. Still fun.

 See. There it is. Fun.

 Olivia made a 2-ball snowman. Elias and Isaac were making snow soup.

Olivia had a "Fun Run" to raise money for her school. Isaac, Elias, & I got to watch. I thought it was fun, but it was a little long for Isaac & Elias, running into their nap time. The Grumpy Gills showed up. Olivia is the one in black pants coming out of the tunnel. The event was in the gym because of weather. All the kindergartners ran at the same time. It got a little comical watching so many wipe out (no one hurt)...until it was Olivia. But she said she only fell 2x. Glad I only saw one. All the kids were really good about helping each other up.

 Is that Dash? No, it's Olivia!

 They had to get their shirt marked off every lap they ran. She made it to the cap lap of 35.

Thanks to my sister for the idea, we had a painting frenzy. It started with the Q tip painting, and then turned into Olivia showing Isaac painting activities she had done in art with paper plates, and then turned into drawing pictures and painting them on a bazillion pieces of paper. 

Elias LOVED it. He even ate paint and rubbed it all over his tummy.

 The point of the activity was to practice fine motor control. In the pictures were circles to be painted by only the end of a Q tip.

 The final products. Olivia wanted a white bunny.

And the last few....Elias played at the kitchen sink for the first time. Splashed all over with that spoon. He can say bubble.

 Rainbow pictures. The entire paper was filled with rainbow colors. I kept 2 out of the 10 that were done.

 And the last news, Isaac is going to start t ball! More pictures to follow when he actually goes to practice!
