CREATING....



FUN

hopscotch...



a dog house with a special tunnel entrance...



silly moments...



weights...





a superbowl snack...



ART

"Look mommy, it's me!"


"Lynnea, my daddy's mommy, and me"


"my mommy's mommy and my daddy's mommy" (note: though they look like snouts, Myra was trying hard to be detailed and make noses with nostrils)



"my mommy's mommy"



CRAFTS

Lindsey, from Filth Wizardry posted this craft on Alpha Mom's blog. It looked simple and fun, so I decided to try it here at home. I originally thought we would make many many hearts, put magnets on the back of them, and send them out as valentines. Instead, we made only a few, and on Myra's suggestion, turned them into little popsicle heart friends.

WORDS

Since taking "Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom" out from the library and recently watching episodes of "Word World", it seems Myra's recognition of letters is exploding!



"mommy, does this spell drum?"



taking a front row seat to growth and creativity ...I'm LOVING IT!

Looks like you've been having lots of fun. We've been watching a lot of word world here too, Jotham's been finding letters everywhere, but has no interest in writing them. Its so fun seeing our kids learn new things. Can't wait to see you.
