On Sunday evening we enjoyed a scavenger hunt at Pott#2 Lake with some 4-H friends!
On Monday our sweet baby turned 8 months old! WOW! This came up fast! Tyson is crawling with ease, making lots of baby noises, and enjoys playtime and snuggles from siblings. He's such a joy to have in our family.
Alexis finished her alphabet this week and Kieryn and Ronan have just three weeks left to go!
After introducing Alexis to her books for the day she realized that she had on her "Frozen Elsa" shirt!
Tyson gets all kinds of help with all kinds of things... he probably liked this a lot because we think he's getting another tooth!
We woke up on Tuesday morning to 4 inches of snow... so we spent the morning outside enjoying the snow. It was all gone by lunch time and everything was green again. It was the craziest thing!
When we finally started some school, Alexis practiced cutting zig-zags and learned to zip a zipper.
On Wednesday we did some zigging and some zagging.
And did a letter Z search.
On Thursday Alexis did some cut and paste to put the zoo lion together. She also watched a virtual zoo tour of Melbourne Australia zoo. The weather was too cold and rainy for us to actually do a zoo trip this week. We hope to go soon...
Another fun thing Alexis did was play in ziti pasta. She helped make ziti pasta and zucchini for her dinner night.
Kieryn and Ronan are still learning about the planets and the solar system. We did some coloring this week. We hope it's clear enough by the weekend to use a telescope to look at the stars!
All the kids had fun with the pasta... pretending... sorting...
Thursday was "Earth Day"! So, to celebrate we did a jog with the dogs around the neighborhood park, made a solar oven and roasted marshmallows (which doubled as our science experiment for the day) and we spent time looking at our globe and learning fun "Earth facts" from the internet!
We even had time for some brother bonding!
This was our surprise Earth day dessert at dinner!
It was a super fun week! There are lots of mixed feelings as our formal "school" comes to a close. Only a few weeks of school left.
