This was one of those weeks where we got a lot done and were really busy but, I didn't get many pictures of all the fun we had.

 

The weather has been pretty humid and warm around here...the good news is it's humid because of all the wonderful rain we have been getting.  The vegetable garden is growing like crazy and the girls are eating the sugar snap peas as fast as we can pick them.  They have lots of fun blowing bubbles on the back patio out of the hot sun.

We learned about ladybugs this week.  Katie and I made and played with lots of ladybug activities.  In this game she rolled a dice and put that number of buttons on the ladybug until she filled the ladybug with dots.

Here she's counting out the number of ladybugs to place on each numbered leaf.

We met Hannah, Sam and Ethan at the splash pad.  Katie and Ethan played in the water a little bit and then played at the playground.  Audrey stuck in the shade with me until the very end when she got brave enough to venture into the cold water.  Hannah and Sam went and got all of us some snowcones and the girls quickly slurped ours up.

 

During tot school this week we read The Very Grouchy Ladybug and Are You A Ladybug?  The kids did a counting activity with ladybug counters and leaves, we observed a ladybug we had caught in the backyard, they did a lacing activity with ladybug ribbon and they made a red and black collage.  After lunch the kids all went outside to splash in the pool.

Katie wanted to look like Daddy so she put on his glasses and sat at her computer.

Audrey is starting to color more and more.  We leave the colors out a lot on the picnic table so she can color as often as she likes. 

At the end of the week we were able to go to Arkansas for a visit with some of my cousins.  One of my cousins has a daughter who is almost 2 so Katie and her had lots of fun playing outside and jumping on the trampoline.  I thought I had forgotten my camera so I didn't get any pictures but, as we got in the car to leave noticed I had brought it and put it in the center console.  Ugh!  No pictures of our fun trip to Arkansas!
