Are you familiar with Pop Beads? My little girls play with them all the time. But they don’t use them as they are intended; instead of making necklaces or bracelets, they make ponies and people and then play with their creations. (Which honestly, I am totally cool with!) I’m not sure if they even know […]

Rainbow Shield
I’ll bet you didn’t know that Genghis Khan had a RAINBOW-colored shield!
Rainbow Dash Body Puzzle
I found a homemade paper box full of paper pieces. When I asked Bree what it was, she told me it was a puzzle. A puzzle of Rainbow Dash’s “insides”, complete with a brain, heart, two lungs, bones, two types of veins, and colon. She enjoys making puzzles, but this is the first time she’s […]
Minnie and My Little Ponies
Minnie Mouse and My Little Ponies by Bree (age 7). She must get her drawing skills from Greg, as I can barely eek out a stick figure.

This was a recent paper she brought home and it just made me laugh. In the […]
Every day
I think our whiteboard and our Legos get used almost every day. I love that Bree used the letter magnets to create a picture!
Paper Toys

Between their many drawings, “books” they create (papers/drawings stapled together), and these paper characters, we go through a LOT of paper! Oh, and Bree’s latest thing […]
Minecraft

Flying Ponies
Today’s drawings by Bree and Cate of flying ponies. You can see that Cate’s drawing is definitely influenced by how her older sister draws her ponies.
Bird Banding Field Trip
One of the highlights of our field trip to Barr Lake State Park yesterday was when Adrianna got to release one of the birds after it had been banded. It sat in her hand and had to be coaxed to fly away, much to Adrianna’s delight. I love Cate’s “binoculars.” Especially since she has a […]
