Week of July 21, 2014

 

We've had a great, normal routine week!  The girls have gotten to go swimming a few times in their little pool.  They love going outside and taking turns spraying everything down with the water hose.

Audrey is able to do a lot more art projects.  We got her some different markers because she was chewing the tips off of all the regular markers.  Katie and Audrey both used the markers several times this week.

 We got a bunch of strawberries from bountiful baskets.  Katie and I made Daddy a strawberry pie...Katie pressed the crust into the bottom of the pan.

 Katie, Audrey, Knox and Brex painted some beautiful works of art.  This was Audrey's first time painting and she did a fantastic job!

We were able to easily sell our big 55 gallon fish tank to make room for a parrot cage.  In a few months we'll be getting a quaker parrot.  We put the cage up in advance so the girls (especially Audrey) could get used to it.  The girls helped Daddy put the cage together.

 We enjoyed a Little Red Hen themed tot school this week.  The kiddos listened to the story, acted out the story with puppets, did a patterning activity and made biscuits and butter.  We also had some new friends join us, Isabella and Thomas!  Katie finally has another girl in the group!

The girls took care of their babies, which is one of Miss Audrey's favorite activities.

We got a little umbrella stroller for Audrey and the girls wanted to use their markers to color the cardboard that the stroller was packaged in. 

Miss Audrey is getting so big and is super smart!  When I got home from the grocery store on Friday she took the groceries out of the bag and put them in the fridge.  Then this morning I asked her to take the laundry from the bathroom to the washing machine (just to see what she would do).  She bent down, picked up a handful and walked all the way to the washing machine!
