December 2017 Preschool Lesson Plans

The great thing about planning a second year in a row is that you get to use some of the previous year's material.  I had so much fun with the littles last December so we are doing some of the same things this year...gingerbread cookies for example.  I think we are going to do that this weekend so the bigs can also participate!

Here are the December Lesson Plans!  Enjoy!

And Happy Holidays from W and K!

Legendary Santa

We had an amazing holiday traveling to see family!  One very special task that I wanted to do while in town was to visit Legendary Santa.  I went to see Legendary Santa at Miller and Rhoads when I was a little girl and now he is at the Children's Museum.  Well, he is definitely magical because ALL FOUR of my children talked to him and did not cry!  That is a Christmas miracle for my little ones!

B told him that we drove 8 hours to see him so Santa also talked to me about he loved to see me and my babies all grown up- LOVE that Santa!  B asked for Legos (of course), M wants a skateboard (Santa told him that he would have to check with Mom and Dad first), W wants Paw Patrol toys and K told Santa that she wanted Cinderella.

None of them would sit on his lap, but I was so excited to have a picture with all of them and no tears!!!  My Christmas season is off to an amazing start!

November Preschool Lesson Plans

Sooo...I kind of skipped October this year.  It seems to be the busiest time of year for us.  It could have been the busy weekends, the house renovations (redoing bathrooms, painting the whole house, building a wall), my husband's job and busy schedule, four kids, church, Cub Scouts, lacrosse, swim, gymnastics...BUT I have completed November lesson plans for anyone to enjoy (just click on the link)!  Our schedule is tough so I tend to do it in pieces throughout the week.  

Happy Fall!!!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Professor Severus Snape, and a Fairy!  We chose this family theme because we have loved reading the Harry Potter books with B and M.  I love to do family costumes, but this may be our last year.  Hermione and Hagrid should lead the crew tonight.  We hope you have a fabulous day and get lots of treats!!

W's Race Car Birthday Party

W couldn't wait for his 4th birthday party!  He chose a race car birthday theme!  We decided to do a low-key backyard birthday party and invite some of his friends from preschool and the neighborhood.  We painted a road with spray paint and brought out all of the kids' vehicles from the garage as well as the toy gas pump and a tire pump.  We set up a racetrack for cars to race down and the water table for the car wash.  The kids had so much fun playing!

Thank you for helping to celebrate our precious son!!

W is 4 years old...

Four years...we cannot believe that W has been with us for this long!  It seems like yesterday that he was born and now he is in preschool, learning how to read, playing soccer and enjoying his gymnastics class.  He is so funny, but he can be very stubborn!  He knows what he likes and what he doesn't like. He loves to play with his little sister and is almost gleeful when his big brothers let him play Legos with them!  We are so lucky to call him ours!!

This and That...

It has been so long since I have been able to sit down and add to my little blog!  Moving this summer, renovating our house (still ongoing), taking care of the kids, and starting a new job has been very stressful to say the least!  We are involved in so much fun stuff here and we are loving our new place!

B and M are involved in gymnastics, lacrosse, Cub Scouts, and swim team.  They love the physical activity and it helps one of them go to sleep at night!

W and K started preschool and they are also taking a gymnastics class.  They love it when they get to school, but dropping off has not been fun!  W started soccer, but it's not his favorite.  He is learning though.  K would not participate in the dance class much to my sadness but maybe next year!

And I have started working for a company called Moments of Magic Travel where we specialize in helping our clients plan Disney vacations at Walt Disney World, Disney Land, Disney Cruises and anything affiliated with Disney. I am loving planning the magic for my clients!  It is a free service to my clients and I book everything for you and plan your itinerary.  If you or anyone you know is interested, feel free to contact me at kimberlyw@momentsofmagictravel.com.

I hope all of you are well!  It's nice to be back closer to our roots!
