I totally meant to write a little post last night, but I got wrapped up in my one of my favorite shows...Castle...love that show! I also got sucked into the Bachelor world...some of those girls are crazy...straight from the looney bin. I still don't know why I watch that show, but I do and I secretly love it...shh don't tell!
So, here I am today. All the kiddos are napping except Vann. He's playing Super Mario...surprise, surprise! I just downloaded my pics from the past couple of days and I have a lot to share with you. Are you ready??
Our theme last week and this week is Once Upon a Time. We've been reading all kinds of classic stories...Little Red Riding Hood, Little Red Hen, The Three Little Pigs, all of those fun books.
|
Yesterday we talked about Humpty Dumpty. So, our craft was to decorate an egg, cut it into a puzzle and put it back together. Here's Vann gluing his puzzle back together.
|
|
Chayce got this fun little game for Christmas. It's called Think Fun Bug Trails. It's just like dominoes, but with fun colored bugs instead. |
|
Chayce, Vann, Mia and I played a game first. |
|
Then, the boys played a game by themselves. |
|
Cute boy!
|
|
Today we read the Three Little Pigs. Our craft was to make a house just like the pigs. But I changed it up a bit. Instead of having the kids glue on either straw, sticks or draw bricks on...I let them paint their pigs house. Sounded way more fun! |
|
Vann wanted to paint the inside of his cup too. |
|
Finishing up the outside.
|
After nap we'll put the finishing touches on the pigs houses...a roof, a door and of course you can't forget the pigs!
|
Chayce was dying to get his little hands in the paint once he finished his house. |
|
Look at that cuteness! |
|
Vann was excited about it too! |
|
Vann's making his handprints |
When all the kids went down for a nap, Vann and I pulled out this fun little game he got for Christmas. It's called Kanoodle. It starts out easy and gets more difficult as you work through the book.
|
You follow the picture in the book. He's doing a level 3 here so, it tells him where to put 9 of the pieces. Then he has to figure out where the other 3 pieces go. |
|
This one was pretty easy for him. |
|
Got it! |
|
Onto level 4. Now he places 8 pieces by following the book and then has to figure out where the final 4 go. This one took him a bit longer to figure out. |
|
But he got it! |
|
And it also has pyramid puzzles...these are a bit tricky. |
|
But after some fiddling with the pieces, he figured it out! |
Alrighty, I need to get ready for the kiddos to wake up. Oh, and I need to take some meat out for dinner...oops! Should've done that this morning. Hope you're having a great day!
Cute pics of the boys...looks like they had a lot of fun! I know, I always get sucked into The Bachelor too. I'm glad that crazy New York blogger girl is gone! She was giving bloggers a bad name ;)
ReplyDeleteI like Ben, he seems nice, but his hair is driving me nuts. I HATE it! I just want to cut it all off ;)
