Give me a "P"!

This week was all about the letter "P". Ben worked on a couple fun projects and we also did the usual things like looking for P's on drives, at stores, and in the books we are reading. We've worked a little bit on trying to write the letters, but I think he still needs some time to develop his fine motor skills. I think he will really enjoy preschool, when that time comes. I can't believe this little guy is going to be 3 years old in a couple weeks. Where has the time gone?
 Coloring the feathers for his peacock. I'm really not sure if he will be right or left-handed. He used to do everything with his left hand, but now it is about 50/50.
 We got out his little scissors for the first time. He wanted me to help him quite a bit, but it was nice to start practicing a new skill. Cutting is hard work!
 The feathers and Ben (and mommy) cut out.
 Gluing the feathers to the letter P.
 Putting the finishing touches on the peacock.
All done!
 
Ben also made a cute pig. He worked hard painting a plate and parts of an egg carton pink. I had to help him finish up a little bit at the end because he got tired of painting.
 

 Gluing on the eyes and nose after the paint was all dry.
 Oink! Oink!
We also took a trip to a pumpkin patch on Wednesday. That fit perfectly into our "P" week!

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
