Happy Mother's Day!

The babies painted their little hands and made handprint art for their Mom's this week. We "stamped" their hands beneath a sweet Mother's Day poem and framed them in white frames. The words to the poem are listed below...





Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But everyday I’m growing up
And soon I’ll be so tall
That all those little handprints
Will be hard to recall.
So here’s a special handprint
Just so that you can say,
This is how my fingers looked
When I placed them here today.

Happy Mother’s Day!

S is for So Cute!

Baby Scarlett is just the cutest little addition to the Baby MacBean family! She loves to sleep, eat, sleep, eat, poop, sleep and eat! Oh yeah, and she's squirming around and starting to be able to move across her play area. The other children are just fascinated with her and love to see what she's up to.

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. :)
