Where has the time gone? We are almost halfway through June so I suppose it is time to post May's happenings.
|
Rob and I went to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe and left the boys behind. They had a wonderful time on their first sleepover at someone's house WITHOUT Mommy or Daddy there. They missed us a little, but are still talking about how much fun it was. Over a month after the trip they still have no idea where Rob and I were. They assume we just sat around bored I guess. |
|
We made pictures with lemons. I put paper in shallow boxes and then put globs of paint on the paper. The boys rolled the lemons around and created the designs you see here. |
|
Justin loves cutting up paper and gluing it. This is one of many creations he has made. I would love a project that looks cute or at least looks like something, but I guess if I don't let him do his own thing he isn't expressing his creativity. |
|
We read the book One Drowsy Dragon and looked for all of the words that described how that poor drowsy dragon was feeling. |
|
We filled an inflatable bouncer with blankets, pillows, and stuffed animals. A perfect little nest for the boys to play in. They thought it was a great place to curl up and watch TV too. |
|
We went to the Farmer's Market and the boys played with some friends on the school playground. |

Justin on his way up to the art museum. We weren't allowed to take pictures inside the museum. |
|
We put some paper in the window to see how the sunlight would fade it. The red didn't fade nearly as much as the dark blue did. We did this because they didn't understand in a book we read why Amelia Bedilia had to draw the drapes. |
|
We did One, Two, Buckle My Shoe and practiced counting and writing our numbers. |
|
Nice stairs at the Alte Feste Museum, huh? Going up wasn't so bad, but I was a bit worried about the boys on the way down. |
|
The boys running around on the front steps by Alte Feste Museum. I realize now that there wasn't anything inside the museum that I wanted to take a picture of. Hard to get a good picture of the boys with the sun's location, but they wanted one. |

I found some kindergarten math vocabulary cards from my teaching days. Ryan and Justin enjoyed going through them. They know quite a few of them. |
|
I have no idea, but he loves it. |
We also spent a lot of time this month getting ready for the second big yard sale held by the Embassy. Great timing since we will be moving soon.
