Letter Z!

Yummy Orange Zest Muffins
Eating the Orange Zest Muffins...even Aaron liked them :)

Making a Human Z


We had a fun Z day with coloring zebras, creating Z books, and making orange Zest muffins. With only 3 kids we made a perfect Z together using their bodies. Everytime the kids can create a letter with their bodies they want to see the picture immediately and are always so surprised that it really looks like the letter. Funny boys!

E is for Eric, Eli, and Exercise

We did some exercising with weights in honor of letter "E"
Eric Enjoying his spagetti

King Eric


King Eli



Eli has been waiting to be King of the Day for a long time. He ended up wearing the crown all through preschool, he even wore it in the car on the way to the park. Eric was our guest King of the Day, and really enjoyed his spagetti I gave him for lunch. The pic was too cute, I just had to put it in here. I'm glad he wasn't wearing his shirt :)

Y is for Yo-yo




We made some yo-yo's out of toilet paper rolls and cardboard. The kids painted them and then I hot glued some yarn to make it look like a real string. They don't actually work but like Jonny said, "They make a good wrecking ball." Sorry about that, hopefully they don't go around swinging them and knocking things over!

K is for Kite Flying











We made some kites and gave them a whirl outside with snow on the ground....suffice it to say we didn't stay outside very long, it was freezing!

R is also for Recycling



We took our little field trip to do some recycling. With the money we earned we bought some Ritz crackers and headed for a fun time at the park. The kids enjoyed watching the cans get smushed by the big machine.

R is for Rockets


We made some rockets out of toilet paper rolls and flew them around a bit. Notice Madison with the dog leash on, for some reason she wanted to wear it, funny girl.

Be my Valentine




We had a little Valentines Day Party and made Valentine Vans to hold the Valentines Day cards we made. Forgot to get a picture of all the kids with their vans though (oops).

G is for Guitar


The kids rocked out on Guitars in honor of letter G.
