Week of June 3, 2013: Princesses and Splash Pads

This week has been all about princesses.  As I'm sure everyone is aware by now Katie has reached the princess stage of girlhood.  She loves dressing like a princess, dancing like a princess, playing with princess dolls, watching princess movies...you get the idea.  This week we added to the princess collection by getting Katie a carriage complete with horse and Sleeping Beauty doll.  Katie went nuts over it and has played with her princesses almost exclusively all week.
 

Of course every princess needs a castle so Katie and I made one out of a cereal box and some toilet paper rolls.

Ms. Audrey, our princess in training.

 
Knox and Brex came over for a playdate.  Knox and Katie wanted to play in Katie's bed and boy did they have fun "sleeping" and of course jumping on the bed.


Katie posed like this all by herself and wanted me to take her picture.

 
This week we worked on the letter N and the color orange.  We tried to watch Finding Nemo to go with our N/Orange theme but that failed miserably.  Poor Katie was so upset that "Nemo gone!" that we had to turn it off.  Oh well, maybe in a few months she'll be ready for Nemo.  She still got to create a orange fish by putting oval "scales on a fish shape.

Audrey watched...
 Then she got to play with orange play do and cut out fish shapes with cookie cutters.

We also made a snail, caterpillar, beetle and frog with legos.  There's some cute little lego duplo books that tell a story and give instructions on how to make the characters for the story.
 
This is the result of spaghetti followed by an ice cream sandwich.

The hilight of our week was on Saturday when we went to the park and played at the splash pad...
 ...Audrey slept.
