Community Helpers

While walking to Clarendon last week, Charlotte asked if we could watch the UPS guys unload their truck.  I said "Sure, just let me know when you're ready."  She replied "We wanna watch the whole thing."  A solid ten minutes later, we continued our walk.  While the girls gawked, I began to mentally plan Community Helper week.  A Community Helper is someone who helps our community.  Crazy, huh?  The girls might define "help" a little differently than you or I.

The Letter Carrier (he's no longer the mailman):  Cailin wrote a
letter, stamped an envelope, and put it in the box for pick up

Charlotte worked hard on hers as well.  She made
sure to cover the envelope in princess stickers.  

The Dentist: Charlotte made her teeth (aka the egg carton) dirty
using pudding, then cleaned them using a toothbrush and yogurt.
After stalling one evening, she lost her chance to brush her teeth before bed.
She was then convinced she'd wake up with a cavity.    

Cailin used the toothbrush as a spoon.  She wasn't
concerned about the state of her real or fake teeth.
She knows they'll just fall out anyway.

Emergency Response Teams: We field tripped to the fire station but no one was home.
The police officer passing by stopped to talk to the girls and flashed his lights for them.  

We found the letter carrier!  He is clearly not used to having fans.

The librarian: one of our favorites

Sensory table filled with lentils.  Not community helper themed but still a hit.  

And our end of the week report

Cailin Hope's.  Note: she drew a heart for her mail helper

Baby Boy enjoyed some poolside snuggles while the girls learned about Lifeguards.
D: What does the lifeguard do to help our community?
C2: Whistles

The girls got a chance to drive the hook and ladder truck

We found the firefighters.  They were at the fair.  

Hear ye, hear ye: It was a fun week!

The girls spent Friday at Matt's office learning about Bankers.  See Matt's blog below.
