highlights of last week

A few bullets:


We had beautiful weather and played out each afternoon; it has been so nice to get out and enjoy the great outdoors. We took a picnic to the park and stayed around 3 hours and I still had to almost drag them to the car.


We have really been on a roll lately with school and they are learning so much. I am enjoying the read alouds most of all. We are going to begin Mr. Poppers Penguins this week.
I am trying to decide what to read after this one. I am considering reading Little House in the Big Woods from the LIttle House series. Mr. Poppers Pennguins is a book in the humor arena and Little Pear was as well; so I am thinking we need something else next go around. Little House is historical fiction. Caitlyn is usually busy playing when we do these read alouds; so I don't really try to choose anything that would keep her attention. I read to her at bedtime and choose things for her age. This week she stuck with her Princess story every night. Two nights we added in Caps for Sale, she loves it and loves to pretend she is reading it since she knows it by heart.

The C bible verse for this week is: Commit your way to the Lord. Psalm 37:5

there is also, Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Ephesians 6:1

We are going to use that one next go around. I want the C word to sound like hard C this time.

I have been Spring cleaning and organizing. I love getting things straight and removing clutter.
I found a $90 dollar bookcase at Target this week for $20 on clearance. Its perfect for the playroom. I also purchased the Treasures some comfy chairs to sit in while they read.
