December 6, 2010

Justin (and therefore Ryan) have been really into drawing and coloring lately.  The papers are quickly forgotten and soon after disposed of in the trash.  They haven't been anything special in my eyes or the boys', so out they go!

Our "school" has become very loose and flexible  We have been playing a lot with legos, blocks, and Thomas trains.  We have been busy outside with the water table, dinosaurs, bubbles, and chalk.  Rob put in some grass and the boys are loving it.

Soon we should have some Christmas projects to post.  Going through my school stuff I found that I had more Kwanzaa and Hanukkah stuff than Christmas stuff.  Oops!  Fine to have a balance in school, but I think we will stick to Christmas crafts this year since we don't have any friends here who celebrate Kwanzaa or Hanukkah.
Ornaments from Michael's Crafts that Justin colored.

Christmas story with the Fisher Price nativity set.  Looks like Mary is missing again.  Sigh.

This advent calendar has a scripture to read and an activity (ie, show your brother you care by sharing) for each day in December.

Extend the Christmas pattern with foam beads from Oriental Trading Company.

Justin likes to help me wrap presents and then give Ryan hints about what he will be receiving for Christmas.  Ryan is oblivious.

Some of the books we have been reading.

More books.  Ryan has been into Chicka Chicka Boom Boom so we tried Chicka Chicka 123.  Not as big of a hit for him, but Justin is amused.

Chasing bubbles from the bubble train and drawing with chalk in the shade.


Running through the sprinkler on our new grass. :)
Following directions to decorate the tree.  Justin complained that I started too many sentences with "glue".
