Project

The kids are on Spring break and have been reluctant to go outside.  I tried to help them make these spinning things.  It was fun, but was over too soon.  They couldn't spin them fast enough for the camera to catch both pictures, but it does work.  I guess it was really for me, I've been wanting to try one for a while.

Elli's Sick Day

I thought we might be able to make it through the season with no one getting sick.  Elli woke up one Sunday morning and said she didn't feel well.  I tried to bribe her and told her she could wear her new skirt if she went to church.  She got dressed and then threw up.  I thought she was tricking, but I guess not.  Riley had to be at church, so I got to stay home too.  Luckily it only lasted one day and she was back to school on Monday.  

The Letter A

This is the day we talked about the letter A.  The plan is to make a book of the whole alphabet with Amy holding things for each letter.  "A" is as far as we have gotten.  At least she doesn't write it upside down anymore!  

Cookie Time

I kind of started doing a little homeschool with Amy.  Here we are doing a little activity.  I guess I feel bad that she isn't going to real preschool, so anything we do during the day where she has fun, I call it preschool.  Yea!  She has a whole year plus until she starts kindergarden. 

Dance

Amy decided to switch from gymnastics to dance.  Here she is the week before class.  She was so excited to start that she would stand in front of the fireplace where she could see herself and do her best moves.  She gets to do tap and ballet and I think she likes it.

Hu!?

Hi, it has been a while, hasn't it Jessica.  I finally got the pictures off my camera and now they won't upload.  I've been waiting an hour.  So... I guess I'll try again later.  We are going to retro movie night on base tonight.  They are showing Mary Poppins.  We have 3 weeks of trying to figure out fun things to do and the movie is free, so we're going!  The kids have a big break from school and are already bored.  Hmm.  Wish the pictures would work, but those are the breaks.   Check back later.  Sorry.
