Goin’ On A Safari (tot/pre school at our house)

Alex is 4 years old. Max is 2.5 years old.

In case you can’t tell, my boys had a great time reading about safari animals and working on our African Safari pack!

We made vests from grocery bags and binoculars from toilet paper tubes wrapped in black construction paper. We searched the house for lions, and we went outside to spy real birds with our binoculars. (vest & binoculars ideas found on Pinterest)

Here’s the rest of what we did.

**Pinterest Users: PLEASE do not pin any pictures below with the children in them. There’s a picture of the Preschool Pack at the bottom of this post if you’d like to pin this post. Thanks for understanding!

This African Safari preschool pack is a FUNDRAISER for our friends as they are in the process of adopting. The cost is $2.00, and $1.68 (everything but the PayPal fees) goes directly to Adopting Judah.

Tiny Talk

So, these are not as funny as Alex asking if I am pretending to be God…they did make me smile today, though.

We’ve been reading Franklin’s Halloween lately. (I don’t know why, as I don’t even like Halloween! The boys just have a sudden fascination with this book.) Franklin dresses up as “Franklinstein”. This morning, Alex came running to me with a grocery bag on his head. “Hey Mom, look! I’m ALEXSTEIN!”

My boys LOVE to eat grapes. Today as we finished lunch, the boys were eating grapes. Max couldn’t get the stems off of some of the grapes, so he was handing them to me and saying, “Mom, could you open these?” Not funny, but just a cute way of asking me to remove the stem.

Alex was jealous that I took Max’s picture, so he wanted me to take his picture.
Jensyn just got her picture taken because she was cute…and covered with Nutella.
