Week of February 14, 2015


We started our week a little different than usual.  We didn't have CC so we had Knox and Brex over.  We spent most of the day outside.  The kids got out Jack, played in the sandbox and on the swingset.








 While Audrey napped the big kids worked on their math and phonics.  Math is their favorite...they love playing with the manipulatives.

Tuesday we went to the zoo with Naomi, Boaz and Selah.

The kids saw how they measured up to the big cats at the zoo.

The perfect group picture spot.

Of course when you're on the train you've got to take a selfie.

Seeing how they compare to the different types of penguins.



After the zoo the girls wanted to go hiking so we took a quick trip through the woods.  The kids saw a dead armadillo and that made the walk even more exciting!  After a long day at the zoo we met Grandma and Grandpa Vaughan for pizza!

 Wednesday we just enjoyed being home together.  The girls did math and phonics together because little Audrey doesn't want to miss out on a thing big sister is doing.


Making a matrix for their math lesson.



 For phonics we played a game...for every word Katie read they got a lego to build with.  This was a big success!



We got our kiwi and koala crate so during Audrey's nap Katie and I worked on her crate.  She built a balloon powered car.




Then when Audrey woke up she made a rainstick with her crate.



Then the girls painted outside.

Saturday we took a trip to Grandma's.  The girls brought their bikes.  Audrey got a brand new bike before we headed to Grandma's.


Heidi loved the bike horn!


Daddy testing out Audrey's bike.




 Coffee with Grandma on the front porch swing.

 We made apricot fried pies!








Sunday we took another trip to the zoo with Daddy.

The kids favorite thing on this zoo trip was climbing every rock or log in sight.
