Olympics and Armadillos

Monday we had kiddie Olympics with a 5 yr. old and twin three year olds. We had ball toss, ring toss, high jump, long jump, volley ball, badminton, statue, push-ups, jumping jacks, running, swinging, and I can't remember it all. Needless to say it was absolutely hilarious. We made our own ribbons before we headed out to compete. We got creative and used stuff out of the craft box. We made them out of construction paper. The kids tended to like the ones we laminated in contact paper. The most practical ribbons were the straight ones. They were easiest to cut, laminate, and make in mass quantity.

Tuesday, Hailey asked me about armadillos. So I googled "armadillo coloring page" and then looked for fun facts that we drew on the back to remember. Like outlining the Texas puzzle piece to remember where it was from.

Thursday we used cotton balls and water colors to sponge paint giraffes. I used a giraffe I printed off of google as a template. Did you know giraffes pick up stuff with their tongues? And they only sleep about 15 min. in 24 hrs! Do you know what sound they make? Leave a post at the bottom of this messsage, either with the answer or with your guess.

What's the deal with the dude? Stacy bought an Indiana Jones version of Monopoly. Notice how the playing pieces fit perfectly on a GI Joe.
