The Letter "W"

Ben worked this week on the letter W. Sometimes I let him pick the next letter we will work on and this week he picked W because it starts our last name. He amazes me every day with his desire to learn new things. I've had a great time planning projects/activities each week for us to work on together.

 We looked through magazines to find interesting words to glue on to the uppercase W.
 Lowercase w showed some different kinds of weather.
 One of the afternoons, Ben made a wax paper project using little pieces of crayon. I used an iron to melt the crayon after he was done putting it on the wax paper.
The wax paper art project.
 Wednesday, we searched through magazines and on the computer for pictures of things that started with W. Ben glued all of the W pictures onto a big piece of paper. He said his favorites were Whyatt & Wonder Red (from Super Why) and Woody & Wheezy (from Toy Story).
 He also made a slice of watermelon. He painted a paper plate green and after it dried he added the rest of the details.
One fabulous piece of watermelon!

Great Job! I didn't know W could be so much for in so many ways! It's always fun to see what you're up to. It's good to be busy on these cold, winter days to make them go faster! Have a great day.
Hugs,

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 ...
