Ooo the fun we will have!

Letter O was fun! We could only do activities until Thursday this week due to having family visiting from Maryland.

On Monday we talked about ocean life and then made an octopus!

On Tuesday we painted O and went on an “o” hunt in the house!









On Wednesday we did some owl matching and made an “o” owl!





We even had time to do an opposite match!



On Thursday we read some good O books! Then we watched a few short videos of ostriches and orangutans!



Sadly the Copp family said good bye to a wonderful man, Pete Copp, who passed away last Sunday. Due to his funeral, Dale, Sandy, and Kevin flew in from Maryland and we got to have some family time together! We even got to celebrate a birthday!!







So special to have that time together!

Until next time...

Nifty Letter N

It was a great letter N week! We had lots of fun on Monday playing with noodles and making a noodle necklace (using a needle to thread the noodles on the string) I had a plastic crochet needle so we used that when making a necklace! I was surprised that Alexis could do it all by herself!

She was so proud of her hard work! She wore this all week!



On Tuesday we practiced tearing newspaper. We used our scraps to make a letter N!







On Wednesday Alexis enjoyed playing with foam homemade Nemo fish! We fed them letter food and we caught them in a net! We even had a few minutes to watch some of the first Nemo movie!







On Thursday we had fun tasting different nuts. We even used peanuts to make a little "n". Then we used our nose to smell spices! She thought the garlic powder was Nasty!









Friday was Donuts with Dad! Everyone was happy to have that for breakfast!!



For letter N on Friday we ventured outside into nature and our neighborhood! It was fun to find nests in the trees since there are no leaves blocking our view. I don't have any pictures because I forgot my phone. We had a great adventure!



Later we played nurse!!

On Friday night we got to see Santa at the KIN department party at K-State. Alexis got to tell Santa whether she's been naughty or nice!

This is as close as she got to him... :)



On Saturday Kieryn enjoyed some caroling for 4-H! She was in charge of delivering one of the goodie baskets too!









After caroling we enjoyed the 4-H gift exchange and party!





On Sunday night we had so much fun at our church's banquet and Kid's Christmas program



Kieryn had a speaking part... she was Moosicowity



Ronan had a singing part. He made a precious angel!



It was a great week and a wonderful way to end one week and begin the next with the reason for the season fresh in our minds!

Thankful for a restful week!

We made it outside before the weather got cold! So fun to hang with friends on Thanksgiving break! We even got Elsa hair done after getting a haircut! Wish I could do that!!

We had lots of PJ days and Alexis was so happy to have the big kids home to play! 



Kieryn and I had a double date with cousin Jacob and Aunt Janell! So fun!! Sad to return to the routine tomorrow!
