Aaron's Birthday & the Memory Game

We celebrated Aaron's 5th birthday with some delicious mini cupcakes he brought and a yellow candle (it HAD to be golden , his favorite color). We finished up the alphabet and had a fun review day fishing for letters and playing a huge game of letter memory. The boys are better at memory than I am :)

Letter Q

We made queens for letter Q (although the boys all declared they were Kings, since they aren't girls). We made Quaker Oats for our food trial with Koolaid (we never did a K food) to complete our food chart and our study of the alphabet.

Un-Birthday Party

What do you do for letter U? An Un-Birthday Party of course. We made and decorated unbirthday cupcakes, played Pin the "U" on the alphabet board, played with balloons, and blew out our unbirthday candles. We delievered cupcakes to Jonny since he was home sick...it was his unbirthday too of course!

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"

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).
