Bike Fun

"We need to wear our helmets, so we can be SAFE!"

Tag, you're it!

Now the ducks live here!

After a few trips to out neighbourhood pond and no duck sightings, we stop at a different bridge and peek over the edge.  There are the ducks!  The kids decide they must have moved to this new home so they would have more friends.

Happy Snacks!

With apple slices and a cup of milk!

That cloud looks like a dragon!

I thought it looked kind of like an elephant. But hey, what do I know?

Pipecleaners, Pom-Poms and Googly Eyes--OH MY!

Well every craft is better when it involves glue and shiny sparkly things.  

Welcome Tateden!

Look at that happy camper! 
Tateden is 13 months old and has been coming a few hours a week to get to know us all! 
Everyone likes showing him all our toys and telling him all the "rules."

En Francais!

Thursday morning we ventured all the way down to Childreach on Maitland St to try out their "Les p’tits fous du Francais" playgroup and storytime.
The kids (and me) had a great time utilizing all the great materials and activities in the playroom.  Then we joined the storytime in the activity room for a great circle all about farming en fracais!  We sang "Old McDonald"  and learned about what different animals like to eat, we danced and counted, and we all took turns shaking cream into butter and tasting the butter spread on a cracker! 
If you want to continue the fun at home, here are the lyrics for "Chez l' vieux fermier Mac Donald"


Chez l' vieux fermier Mac Donald
I AÁ I AÁ O
Il y a des tas, des tas de canards
I AÁ I AÁ O
Avec des couac couac ci
Et des couac couac là
Couac par ci, couac par là
On entend que couac couac
Chez l' vieux fermier Mac Donald
I AÁ I AÁ O

Chez l' vieux fermier Mac Donald
I AÁ I AÁ O
Il y a des tas, des tas de vachess
I AÁ I AÁ O
Et des meuh meuh ci
Et des meuh meuh là
Meuh par ci, meuh par là
On entend que meuh meuh
Chez l' vieux fermier Mac Donald
I AÁ I AÁ O

Chez l' vieux fermier Mac Donald
I AÁ I AÁ O
Il y a des tas, des tas de chiens
I AÁ I AÁ O
Et des ouaf ouaf ci
Et des ouaf ouaf là
Ouaf par ci, ouaf par là
On entend que ouaf ouaf
Chez l' vieux fermier Mac Donald
I AÁ I AÁ O

Des chevaux…. Hiiiiii
Des poules… cot
Des poussins… piou
Des abeilles…. bzzz
