Finally some preschool

We did it!!!  Finally made it downstairs to preschool.  We had quite the mess to clean up as the little ones have of course been into everything!!!  We made a weather dial using printouts from www.sparklebox.com and the kids were so excited to spin the dial to rainy!  We made caterpillar craft sticks(glued pom poms on craft sticks)...we'll add some pipe cleaner antennae and google eyes later on after the glue dries.  We practiced our cutting and gluing.  We worked on kicking and catching a ball.  We read "Marvin K. Mooney will you please Go now!".  They loved it.  I remember it being Justin's very favorite book when he was four so I'm pleased to be able to read it again.  We did a few fine motor activities also and now they are watching wow wow wubzy while I clean up and post this to the blog.  All in all the morning is shaping up to be better than I thought it would so that is a good thing.  Now to tackle the laundry monster and the dishes from this morning.  Happy schooling to you all.

Our Felt Flower experience

First I would like to say that this is not my own idea....and I can't remember whose blog I saw it on.  If you know then please comment, otherwise I will link it when I find it again...and I certainly hope I do.  How do you keep track of where all these great ideas come from????

The pieces for our felt flower activity....got all the shapes cut out(please don't judge my shapes...sort of brain dead that morning, and I was just going for graduated sizes) then I realized I didn't have any pipecleaners.  Hmmm....I was sure I had some.  In my quest for pipe cleaners I did find some knitting needles in a learn to knit kit(I plan to learn someday....maybe) so I let them use those instead...

She was very proud of her flower.

I couldn't get him to hold it like a flower for anything...he was making it into a space ship or something:)
