WOW! Crazy Life!

Life has been crazy lately. We just finished Vacation Bible School. Both boys got to go, and I helped out in the 3 year old room. It was fun, but also crazy.

Between VBS, me being sick, visitors and DH being extremely busy at work, there has been no time for blogging.

Luckily things seem to be calming down. DH’s work craziness should end Thursday or Friday, and we have no visitors planned for a while.However, I did injure my neck/shoulder horse playing with Monkey yesterday. I woke up with it so stiff this morning, and it continues to hurt. But, a quick prayer will hopefully help to alleviate that!

Although we have been busy, I have continued to do activities with the boys. I just haven’t necessarily photographed it.

Monkey—You Can Read

We have continued with Carissa’s You Can Read program (YCR). Although we are only on week 2…ready to move onto week 3 though. Monkey seems to love it. I have decided to hold off on The Moffatt Girls reading program (TMG). I started the word families with Monkey, and he is just not ready. But we will be doing some of the sight word activities from her program.

Here he is working on making the Caterpillar from TMG. We hung it up on the wall, so we can review it regularly.

Here Monkey is using glue on the word cards, and will then put glitter on them. We hadn’t used glitter much, he really enjoyed this (TMG)

These are from Making Learning Fun.

Mother Goose Time

We continue to love Mother Goose Time.

The were pirates!

Alligator loved the shape cards, he enjoyed putting them in and taking them out of a tissue box.

Alligator- Alphabet Activities

Alligator had his follow up meeting with his developmental pediatrician. She was in Awww of his ability to indentify all upper and lowercase letters, all number 0-10, most colors, and most shapers. I am going to continue doing the letter activities with him from Carissa.
