Day to Day

Shepherd and Spencer love to learn. Every morning we spend time reading and learning. The boys have picked up very quickly on their letters and numbers. I use a lot of different sources in my planning for their activities. I love pinterest and have recently discovered the ABC Jesus Loves Me website. This summer I hope to spend more time organizing a curriculum to start in the fall for them with 3 year old preschool.

We found these rocks outside and painted them to study the letter "R r".


We have been practicing identifying our lower case letters. b, d, p, and q are tricky!! Here we took paint pens and they would place the paint on the letter I called out.

This was the first time doing an activity like this and they did a great job! Spencer sometimes got carried away and did more than one letter at a time, but that's ok!!


Other news...

Happy Valentine's Day from our Love Bug!


The boys are talking nonstop these days. I may have to start a funny quote section on each blog update. Shep is really cracking us up with his talking. Last week I told him to drink his milk and his reply was, "No Mommy, it's nasty!"

Oh, how our days are filled with so much fun!

Winter??


We have all been sick at our house over the past 3 weeks. It has come and gone through all of us. I am tired of all the coughing and snotty noses and just feeling crummy... The bright light through all of this has been the weather. I am not one to stay inside and when I do for more than a couple of days, I get cabin fever bad! We have been so lucky to have beautiful days in the 60s and even low 70s. Through the coughing...we always make it outside at least for a little while. That has gotten us through the tough days. Now that we are all on the mend, the weather has turned cold... go figure! We may just have to visit the Chick-fil-A playground this weekend!

Picnics outside

Mommy's jasmine is starting to have some blooms

Sweet boys

Cutie pie!


Glad he saved the flower :)
