Valentine's Day 2015

Happy Valentine's Day from the Cleys kids!

100th Day of Kindergarten

I cannot believe that kindergarten is almost over!  I love this half day schedule.  The kids have a great time in school and there's still plenty of time for fun afterwards.  Next year will be quite the adjustment!

This week we not only have Valentine's Day to celebrate, but also the 100th day of kindergarten!  These are the valentines the kids chose:

These are their 100 day projects.  I helped, but the kids did most of the work. They get to present them to their classmates.  They are also having a celebration and "Zero the Hero" is coming to visit.

The kids insist that Molly be in every single picture we take.  She doesn't always oblige.

This little stinker enjoys her one on one time while the kids are gone.  Everyone always asks if she is sad when they are at school.  No way!  She loves playing with their stuff ;)

Learning to Build

Home Depot has once a month kids building workshops.  This is the first time that I signed the kids up and we attended.  Brooke walked around the store with grandma while Chris and I helped the triplets.

Today's project was a wooden heart box.  This involved hammering.  I am proud to say that no fingers were harmed during this process!

The kids then got to paint their projects.  This was the tricky part because the paint is not fast drying.  We had to put all the projects in a shopping cart so we wouldn't get paint all over ourselves.

When they were done, they received a pin of what they made.  We even got Brooke an apron with her name on it.  She loved it!

The kids were excited to pick out some plants to plant at home.  We will definitely be going to more workshops!

You'll Never Guess What Fell From the Sky?!

On Superbowl Sunday (2/1), it snowed like you wouldn't believe.  Thankfully the party we went to was at our friends house in the neighborhood.  While we were there, the school called to cancel school for the next day. You should have heard the screams of joy from all the kids!

So we had so more snow fun on Sunday and Monday.  

This little one is quite the shoveler!

The next day was sunny but oh so cold.  That didn't stop my kids!  We did some backyard sledding and playing on the swing set.

The slide is especially slippery with snow on it!

Then the boys moved to the front yard with Chris and built the best fort ever!!!  In Chicago, you have to enjoy it while you have it!
