Groundhogs Are Cool

We learned today how COOL Groundhogs are! We learned the following (and much more):

*Groundhogs are a relative of the Squirrel
*They usually live 2-3 years
*Excellent swimmers and love to climb trees
*LOVE to dig holes and make burrows
*They take a nap in October and wake up in February (wow! wish I could do that)
*Groundhogs and Woodchucks are the same animal

Here are a couple of our favorite Groundhog pictures the kids picked out:

For lunch today we had: Fish Sticks, Potato fries, Pears, and water

And then we watched about 15 minutes of this fun movie before every one fell asleep.

Alvin and the Chipmunks are cool and are relatives of Groundhogs! So, we had to watch them!

Eston and Ashton had turns learning to recognize their alphabet letters. Even though they know their ABC's by heart they need to put the letter with the song. This is the fun link we visit all the time and it's great site recognition.

and then they had fun creating their own aquarium

This is a great site for little ones to practice motor skills, clicking and dragging the mouse and learning sea animals. This is one of my favorite sites.

Where we eat

This was taken a few months ago. This is where the kids eat their meals unless we are outside.

Train Time

For Christmas our good friends the Cole's gave us a great train table with tons of tracks and new trains. All I could think about was how excited Eston would be when he came back from Christmas holiday. And he was excited.

Eston eats, lives, breathes and even poops (hehehehheeee)trains. He really should be a train conductor when he grows up.

Here Jax and Eston are playing, what else?, trains!
