she let (um, made) me wear the hat though!dumping the cake mix in the bowl

then the oil & water

mixing it up really goodshe's getting so good at this, pretty soon she'll be able to make a cake all by herself! the best part is always licking the beaters she had to get every last bit of goodnessyum!

mixing the food coloring in the battera rainbow of colors ~ "red, orange, yellow, green, blue, don't forget there's purple too!" (thanks Mickey Mouse for the rainbow rhyme that is stuck in my head!) watching the cupcakes bake

Isn't she beautiful?the finished productRainbow cupcakes in honor of St. Patrick's Day Reagan wanted to make cupcakes for Mr Ray & Ms Deb (her teachers at Jesus' house). She is so excited and can't wait to take them tomorrow!

but first, she has to do a taste test! I think she likes them savoring every little bite

It's A Jungle Out There

This week's theme at gymnastics was "jungle week". All of the exercises/activities had to do with some type of animal. Reagan had a great time as usual, but this week was even more exciting as she had a friend from school join her at gymnastics!

Ready to begin

Quacking like a duckWalking like monkeysCooper and daddy came to watch Reagan today

Making bear sounds

for this exercise, the girls would pick an animal out of the basket, walk across the balance beam, and put the animal in another basketoh, and they also got to wear some cool animal glasses!Almost done!now for the tiger animal and glasses

time to rope swing into the pit she always likes to check to make sure I'm watching her!

Sculptures

Reagan and Cooper have been very busy at school the last few weeks. Here are some of their art sculptures.

Reagan spent a week learning about dinosaurs (she's now obsessed!) She knows all their names, and what they eat. Her class made a dinosaur box.

Reagan has also learned about birds the last few weeks ~ here is her momma bird with babiesThis is Cooper's sculpture. It was on display at school for a couple of weeks and every time we walked by it, he would say, "I made that. I made that!"

Love This Weather

Another sunny afternoon meant more outside play for Cooper (Reagan opted to stay in the house) when we got home from school!

Getting the trucks ready to go
