Easter Party

Here at Baby MacBean we were delighted to see everyone that was able to come to the Easter party on Saturday. It was so great to have an exciting egg hunt, food, and meet and see the live bunnies and ducks :) It was such a blast for us to see all the children with their families and friends, and there were lots of fun pictures from the party, so please enjoy the slideshow below!

What's up at Baby MacBean?!

There were just too many cute photos this past week to only pick a few, so enjoy this fun slideshow!

San Francisco Zoo Field Trip!

Baby MacBean went on a field trip to the San Francisco Zoo yesterday. It's nice to be able to go during the week since there aren't many people there so it felt like we had the zoo all to ourselves.  Caroline and Shay strolled through the park holding hands like a little old couple. It was so adorable!

Here's a photo slideshow so you can see all the animals. Hover your mouse over the slideshow, then click on the button in the lower right corner to expand the fill your screen so you can see the photos up close...

Art and Sunshine

This week at Baby MacBean we got to take advantage of the beautiful January sunshine here in Benicia, which all of the babies loved! They got to play on the outside toys and it was even nice enough to use the art board and paint with the new spray paint bottles.

Everyone was having a fun time going in and out of the house.

Even though it was nice outside, the sit and spins were also popular.

Everyone at Baby MacBean loves the slides!

And just because it was nice outside, didn't mean that there couldn't be just a little snow somewhere.

Tea Time at Baby MacBean!

Today all the children got chef's hats made specially by Elle! Madison was inspired to have a tea party in the play room with the baby dolls, so the party was soon moved into the kitchen, where everyone got to wear their hats and enjoy all the yummy food :)

Elle played hostess to her excited guests!

Pizza Party!

Baby MacBean hosted, with Miss Marla's Building Blocks Child Care, a pizza party at Pizza Pirate in Benicia. It was so much fun! All the children were pleasantly surprised to see their friends in a different setting. The parents had a chance to chat and get to know each other better, especially since some parents had never met since their children attend on different days of the week. We even had a few prospective parents come so they could meet all of us and ask questions and chat with other parents. We're so glad that everyone took the time to join us for a fun evening. We're planning several more parties for this summer - so get ready for more fun!

Here are some photos from the party:

Play dough, crayons, sand oh, my!

Caroline, Joey, Madison, Shay and Ryan have been up to their ears in all sorts of art activities these past few weeks. We picked up these great window crayons from Wal-Mart and the children just love them! The windows clean up easily with a quick spray from the hose, which makes it extra nice. The play dough and sand are big hits, of course, even after the repeated "tasting" - it's all non-toxic so no worries there. :)

All Aboard!

Claudia surprised the babies with an early present = a train table, complete with waterfall, airport and the Golden Gate Bridge!

The train tracks and buildings are glued to the table, but we left all the street signs, trees, cars, airplanes and trains untouched so the babies can exercise their little fingers and practice their dexterity as they play.

 

Caroline loves to play!
