Week of July 15, 2013

The scarcity of pictures this week is pitiful but here they are.  I realized as I uploaded the week's pictures to my camera this morning that I didn't take a single picture of our sweet little Audrey on the camera.  Of course, I have a bajillion of her this week on my phone so I guess that makes up for it.  Phones are just easier to use, they're always right there.  So enough of my rambling....on to this week's activities...

 

 We officially started the letter P with emphasis on Princesses, a favorite of Blueberry!

 New markers for Katie equals fun with the caps!  She put them on her fingers and was tapping her fingers on every surface she could.

 Who knew a blank poster board would provide an afternoon's worth of entertainment?  She loved moving it all over the house and coloring all over it.

We are beginning some work with gluing.  This is a tricky activity because it can be a big mess but, Katie's pretty good about containing the madness of glue and scrap paper.  She concentrated really hard on gluing her pieces of paper in just the right spots.

 Katie always has fun with these little worksheets.  Instead of using dot markers we use buttons or playdo to place on the circles.  This time the worksheet was a letter P with a Princess.  We used pink buttons to decorate the princess' dress.

Katie and I took a trip, just the two of us, to Petsmart for some dog food.  We came home with a crab and a snail.  Since Katie has great love for SpongeBob these little guys go perfectly with her SpongeBob figure in the angelfish tank.  Their names are Mr. Krabs and Gary, of course!  (Anyone familiar with SpongeBob will get their names)

We also spent some time painting this morning.  Katie loves taking multiple colors and blending them together.

This picture really shows the personality of our little girl.  She wanted to go outside but it was way too hot and muggy for Rich and I to want to join her.  We watched from the kitchen as she climbed right into her wheelbarrow full of rainwater and just sat there, enjoying her outside time.  Of course, a few minutes later it started thundering and she hightailed it back inside!
