Marvalous Week!

We began letter M week experimenting with magnets. Kieryn really had fun going around the house and finding things that were magnetic!

Then we played with our Magnaformers magnet set. 

On Tuesday we pretended to be monkeys! The kids really had fun with this one! First we traced letter M, read the book "No More Monkeys Jumping On the Bed", made the hats, and then turned on some music and had fun!

  

After lunch we did some activities with marshmallows...letter m and shapes!

That night we played marshmallow mouth with Daddy.... marshmallow teeth inside the mouth, roll the dice, count, and then remove/eat the marshmallow teeth. First with all teeth out of their mouth wins! 

On Wednesday we began the morning with some name practice... Kieryn is getting really good at tracing the letters of her name!

Then that afternoon we watched a quick video about Moses and tried to do a quick lesson on him.

That night after supper, we played an M&M color match game. 

On Thursday we played with money... kids like this!

That afternoon we made peach muffins!

And on Friday we did a letter M hunt! Kieryn found a muffin, Mater, and a monkey. 

Ronan found Minnie Mouse and Molly the train!

Then on Saturday we had a masquerade and danced to some music (our little party while Daddy was out celebrating a co-workers' birthday) :)  

Ronan didn't really like the masks... but he sure loved the dancing!

until next time...

Lovely Week!

We began the week with some sensory play. I've never colored pasta before... but it turned out to be easy! The kids loved it and played with it for 2 days!

Ronan played first while Kieryn was at school. He wasn't so sure about it at first, but once he got going he really loved it!

Kieryn and Ronan had a blast with it when they played together.

Later that day we did a lemonade handout, finding the large lemonades. Then we enjoyed a glass of lemonade with our lunch!

After supper we had lollipops!

On Tuesday we did a lot with legos. First we painted...

Took a break to play in the snow... just enough snow to do some sledding behind the house. The kids love their new sled.

Later we built and pretended with the legos and that evening did a lego color match. I was impressed that by the end Ronan could match the colors very well!

We tried a couple rounds balancing it on a spoon as you brought the lego to the paper but that was short lived...

On Wednesday we read some ladybug books and did a family ladybug game. Had to roll the dice, count the dots, and then find the numbers and cover with a piece of chocolate... we ate them all gone afterwards of course!

On Thursday we read a book about the lion and the lamb. We then did some role play and practiced animal sounds! 

I had a color match handout and practice tracing letter L...

Ronan got to do the handout too!

Later Queen Elsa gave us a performance...

and Ronan took care of his new best friends... he laid them on the pillows all by himself. Later he shared his snack and drink with them. So cute!

On Friday we talked about God's love for us and then did a "l" letter search and practiced tracing the letter again. Later we did a letter l hunt in the house!

Had the kids take turns water painting on the chalkboard on Saturday while we got ready for guests that evening...

this kept them entertained for a surprisingly long time while I prepared the food!

The kids had so much fun on Saturday night with their friends McKenzie and Callen!

And today we're recovering... Ronan was up most of the night coughing.. hopefully he will feel better soon!

Until next week!

Settling back in... Happy New Years!

We are getting back into the routine of things after celebrating the holidays! We had a few of Kieryn and Ronan's cousins over on Tuesday and Wednesday... they all got to go to Hershey Park!

We celebrated the new year with some friends from church... and then have just been playing with all our new Christmas goodies!

We hope you all had a wonderful New Years! 

Until next week!
