Letter C!

well, I have no pictures of this past week (ur, 2 weeks)…slacker!! But here are some of the things we did to learn about the letter C:

- decorated our construction cut out of the letter C with lots of C stickers and stickers of things that started with the letter C

- looked at the clouds to see what shapes/objects we could see in them

- played a little “copy cat” game

- played the game “Cooties”…had the pieces all around the house for the rest of the week!!! (if you know this game, you know how many pieces it has! Ugh…it won’t be coming back out for a little while!)

- daddy made pancakes in the shape of the letter C for breakfast on Saturday

- made chocolate chip cookies…yum!

- had celery with peanut butter for a snack

- make Corn and Crab Chowder for supper one night

it might be time...

...for a h a i r c u t ! ! !

fun times dancin' on a rainy day. :)

our “dresser”

while we are in limbo about what we are going to do – stay here, buy a house, rent somewhere else – we don't have a dresser (there is actually one in our closet, but the drawers are super thin, not much would fit in them). however, we do have this nice big chair that has become our dresser....until we get our furniture, or switch rooms...which we also are in limbo about (when to/what to do with our furniture and if we want to switch rooms)!

sharing can…

…be fun, especially when you are creative with it!

nap time in the ball tent

Since wyatt and Claire now share a room, nap/rest time for wyatt has been a bit tricky. After trying to put them down for nap at the same time and finding out that it only worked the first time, I’ve had to put wyatt in different spots. He was taking them in the “extra” bedroom/office for a little while, but now that he’s got the fun ball tent, we’ve put his sleeping bag in it and it has worked great!

ants and gnats

it all happened late one morning...

happy 4th birthday Wyatt Daniel!

special birthday breakfast…in front of the tv!
Wyatt loves the tv, so i thought this would be a great way to start his birthday. I am pretty sure that Claire enjoyed it as well!

Bubs! We can’t believe that you are 4!!! Where has the time gone? I guess that we’ve just been having so much fun since you came into our lives, and “they” do say that “time flies when you’re having fun!” :) it sure seems to be true! You are a blessing to us and have taught us so much…Lord willing we hope we can be and do the same for you! :) We love you so much Wyatt!

watching “Super Why!”

Matt is out of town today, but I still wanted to do something special for Wyatt’s birthday. So, we met our only friends in our new town, Nita and her son Jack, for a pizza super at the park, then went to get ice cream afterwards. I think that he enjoyed it all! :)

Letter B!

this week we’ve studied the letter B! here are some of things we did:
- decorated a construction paper B with B stickers and items that start with B!
- Blew Bubbles
- made Blueberry muffins
- played in the Ball tent that wyatt got for his birthday from his Grandpa and Grandma
- rolled and tossed “Beach” Ball back and forth

breakfast on the terrace

ha! It’s not really a terrace, but a screened in deck...“breakfast on the terrace” just has a nice ring to it! :) the weather has been so nice that we are out here almost every chance we get! love it.

Wyatt’s birthday party!

Today my sweet friend Carmen and her 3 kiddos made the trip to visit us and help us celebrate wyatt’s 4^th birthday…a few days early! She even brought these awesome doughnuts for his “cake”! we didn’t do anything really organized, but the kids played and watched part of the cars movie while she and I tried to catch up as much as we could!
