Week of November 15, 2015

We had our last week of CC for the semester on Monday.  During science Katie's class got to pair up with the older kids to classify animals.  


Tuesday the boys came over and the kids all played playdoh over 2 hours!

Then they had fun dressing up before lunch.


Daddy and his girls playing legos.


It's getting colder and colder outside in the afternoons so we've had to entertain ourselves with coloring and legos.


We have a new children's librarian who did a wonderful job with storytime this week!  The girls made handprint trees after listening to stories about fall.


We didn't even get in the door from the library before the girls were begging me to read.

We all went outside to play even though it was pretty chilly.

Katie had to cuddle up with Daddy to stay warm.



Thursday the boys came over again.  We stayed inside and had lots of fun playing.

Papa came for a visit Wednesday.

Friday we got to enjoy our CC community's program.  Katie played "Mary Had a Little Lamb" with her class on the tin whistle and they sang "The 7 Wonders of the Ancient World" song.

Saturday Papa, Tina and Uncle Ben came over for lunch.  
That evening we had a fire and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows.

Making popcorn over the fire.

The girls braved the cold outside (for about 5 minutes) Sunday morning.

Week of November 8, 2015

We've had another great week of beautiful weather, fun CC community day and lots of fun with friends and family.
Monday we had our 11th week of CC.  We are working on our tin whistle songs and memory work for our program next week.  

Tuesday Knox and Brex came over.  We talked about the parts of a flower, dissected a flower then drew a picture of flower parts.




Wednesday we were expecting storytime at the library but, the library was closed so we stayed home and had fun with legos instead.


Wednesday night Papa came over.  Katie had waited all day for him to come over so they could make slime together.







Thursday all the kids' friends came over.  We took a walk, played and colored.
 We also took a trip to the library Thursday afternoon to pick up our books.  The girls got color sheets to take home.  They decided to paint them.



We turned several boxes into tunnels and houses for Jack to play in.

It was cold enough this weekend to build a fire, drink hot chocolate and roast marshmallows.







We visited Grandma this weekend.
