Craziness!

We began "C" week with some crunching, confetti making, and confetti catching fun!



Then we used the confetti to make a sun catching cross. We practiced cutting and then talked about how Christ died on the cross for us.


We played the clarinet a few different times. Kieryn could actually get some sound out of it! She was proud of herself.


Ronan tried too...


We counted cars... and Ronan helped round up the cars too.


On Wednesday we used circle tubes to paint a cross picture...


Then later that day Kieryn practiced tracing her name on top... the pic said Jesus loves "Kieryn". Ronan of course made one too!


And it wouldn't be "c" week without some chocolate chip cookies!




We played a carrot counting game... I said a number 1-10 and she put that many carrots in the bowl. Simple, but she enjoyed it!


On Thursday we practiced tracing our last name...


 Then we glued candy corn to make the letters...




Later that afternoon we did a numbered cup matching game....


Then we lined them up numerically...


Then we filled them with candy corn... she filled the cup with the number on the outside of the cup... and she did great, 1-10!


And then we did a cup & candy corn follow/memory game...


Ronan had fun too!

 

That night we shared a candy bar for dessert... Kieryn's new favorite thank you to Grandpa and Grandma Haug!  


On Friday we did a "c" sound hunt and Kieryn found 5 items all by herself! I was beaming with pride. She lined them up and told me what she found!


That afternoon we visited Cocoa Castle Park and Kieryn found the Cs right away!


And that afternoon while the kids napped I made some pillows... thanks Sandy for the extra material!


Over the weekend Ronan showed us his stacking skills... he got all this from the lazy susan and began building all by himself.. couldn't resist taking a pic.


And of course, we visited Hershey Park on Saturday! This was the last week for the park and rides to be open! We had so much fun!


We ended our week with a trip to the corn maze on Sunday. The kids loved it! In fact, Kieryn cried very hard when it was time for us to go! They got to do a hay ride, games, the corn maze, and then pick out a pumpkin. We even bought fresh potatoes and corn on the cob for supper. We'll have to go back again for Kieryn!





Until next week...

What a BLAST!

We left BWI last Saturday morning to visit Kansas for a week. Daddy had a special gift for the kids before boarding the airplane. It was great entertainment for about 20 minutes after take-off!


Kieryn and Ronan did VERY well on the flight so it was no stress at all (thank goodness)!


When we arrived on Saturday we hung out and played outdoors. Then on Sunday we visited Great Grandpa Haug for his 86th birthday!


On Monday we began our day with a "b" breakfast- banana and bread...


Then we did button balancing!


First Kieryn had to scoop out a button from the container and then balance it in her spoon all the way around the table. She then put them on the paper to make a letter B out of buttons.


Ronan got in on the balancing too! We did ball balancing  and after making a lap around the table they had to drop the ball in a bucket! They loved it!


Then on Monday morning we visited the Talley family! Kieryn, Lakyn, and Bronx had a blast!



Later that day we did an Elsa braid!



and Ronan colored a butterfly while Kieryn learned about the word blessings.



On Tuesday we did "B" sorting and enjoyed a snack before heading to the Talley's house again!



We felt so lucky to spend two mornings with our friends! This time we brought water balloons and let the kids drop them off the balcony and aim for a bucket! They had so much fun!




For lunch they got to bake mini pizzas. So fun! It worked out great because Bronx was covering letter B at school too!



Grandma helped Kieryn color a butterfly "by numbers" that evening...


and Ronan played with his new ball roller.


After supper the kids got to do combine rides! They were so excited! Kieryn even got to help cut a row of corn!





On Wednesday we began the morning by making our boat!


The kids had a good time with it!


Kieryn even practiced fishing out of it!


Then we looked at some bugs...



and that afternoon we went fishing! We used a few of the bugs as bait!





We did bubbles in the evening and of course, swung in the tire swing!



On Thursday we began the day with a mystery "b" bag... Kieryn did very good sorting the items into "b" sound and not "b" sound!


And that afternoon Grandma got some quality play time in while Grandpa and I met up with Uncle Jeff at the Wildcat game!


Then on Friday, Uncle Jeff got lots of quality play time with the kids while I packed up and prepared for the flight home.


Uncle Jeff made sure to hit all the bumps! :)


Kieryn helped Grandma bake the final feast in her new apron!


We had so much fun in Kansas! We were sad that we didn't get to see Uncle Travis and Kaylee, but we'll hopefully see them in a few months. Thank you Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle Jeff, and the Talleys for giving us such a fun KS visit!!
