This Week

What did we do this week? Well, if you look at "school" stuff, probably not much but if you look at other things, maybe quite a bit. For starters, I met my balcony neighbors and had a five hour tea with them. I will invite them this week to my house for another tea. I have been putting it off since my house is way different than a T house and I have to super clean it before the tea. But I am going to do it this week.

J is putting together garden puzzles that I found here.

We are working on beginning sounds. So we would name the item and J would place a clothespin on the beginning sound of the picture.

These are flower number cards that J added math links to. The links are difficult for her to put together but after some practice, she finally got the hang of it. We then took all of the links and linked them together to see how long it was.

We planted some flower seeds in the pot and J is watering them. We are waiting for them to appear. We also put a few beans on a wet paper towel and they finally started growing.

J is painting paper for our strawberries/tomatoes for the garden mural we are working on.

Here J is painting a snail for the garden mural. She is using some cool new brushes that already have the paint in them. She really liked these.

I was taking a shower one morning and I came out to find this....J was reading to Kaleb. Isn't that sweet?

We received a package via a friend who was visiting. It was loaded with all kinds of good things! J received several tutu outfits and this was one of them. She begged to wear it the next day. It is soo cute - here she is being a ballerina. Thanks Mom and Dad - we loved all the goodies.

Here J is being a ballerina playing her new Wii game. Kaleb is watching.

My Mom asked if Kaleb ever sat in his special chair that they brought at Christmas. Here is a picture - Mom, notice the little legs squished in the holes! ha ha- I couldn't get him to smile.

I made this on Friday. J has been collected beautiful hair bows thanks to my Mom and Marti (our hairdresser in 'Merica) and I was looking for a way to keep them in one place. So I made this Rapunzel hair bow keeper with ric rac that my Mom sent. I think it turned out cute. I made it just in time for the movie Rapunzel that was in our box of goodies! J wanted the brown hair girl instead of a blond - hence the brown haired Rapunzel. The idea came from here. I changed it alittle. It was easy and it took only a few hours in between baby and J. I started it on Friday and finished it on Friday. I may still add some flowers to the hill, maybe...

Lastly, I have no picture for this but I finished my online classes. It was alittle stressful this week because I had two major papers but I finally finished them. Yay! It has been only six weeks but it felt like longer. They were alot of work. I am glad it is over. Now, we are just counting down the days til 'Merica.
