IHOP Trip

On Saturday morning before Cayce had to go to work, he took the girls and I to brunch. It was a great time. The kids ate all their food and I had one of the best sandwiches in my life. He then took us shopping at the dollar tree and we got some much needed necessities for the kids. Now picture time.

Prep. Curriculum: Week 17 (Ariana)

This week was about sheep. She loved it because she kept going baa baa all week. It was hilarious.

Monday: We have the first pink lamb.

This was the favorite book of the week

Tuesday: We went through our lessons quickly.

 

the shape was a heart this week.

Wednesday:
She did very well learning the letter Q. She wanted to call it the letter P a couple times but after much repeating, she got it.

She now knows this letter and remembers it

Thursday:
Right when I turned the book to this pages she started pointing out the letter q's and went right to coloring. It made me kind of sad that she doesn't need my help that much anymore.

She did this page all by herself as well. I was a proud mama

Friday:

Once again, she did this page by herself. My little mini me is growing up!  :(

Bye Bye February

I'm glad to see this month go. From Addy's 2nd birthday to the ice storm-power outage to everyone getting sick last week, this month has been eventful. We got our monthly trip out the way and I have read 1 book on my yearly reading list and I started a 2nd book yesterday. It's going slowly, but I will get it done.

I am slowly getting to my 25,000 swagbucks goal and then when I hit that goal, I can redeem them for a 250 amazon gift card and I can get the much needed supplies for the upcoming school year. Samantha is looking forward to Kindergarten and I need to find a good photographer for her Kindergarten shoot and I need to get her 2 class shirts.

I have a feeling that March will be a good month for us all. I have two trips planned and some geocaching to do. The 3 locations that I want to complete in geocaching next month is Swansea, Pelion and North.

A few days ago, I found some Dino Easter Eggs with candy and I automatically decided that those would be in Sammy's birthday Easter egg hunt. Yesterday I found an Easter cake that I know she will love. She fell in LOVE with the picture and it's all she talks about. It will be decorated with Easter M&M's and different colored bunny peeps.

Lowe's Workshop: 2/22/14

Last Saturday, the girls had another workshop and I thought this would be a fun one for both of them because they always come home excited and immediately start playing with their new craft. Since everyone was sick last week, the only one who had fun was Samantha. Ariana didn't want to do her and she cried for me. It made Cayce feel awful because that's the only thing he gets to do with the girls when he is off work.

They got home and I put them down for their naps. I gave Ariana some medicine and cold water to break her fever and she went right to sleep. She got sick before she went to sleep and I called Cayce at work to let him know and that be ready for a phone call in case she was still feverish at the end of her nap. His boss gave him the rest of the day off and he came home and we basically kept a very close eye on her and her temp. She woke up right when he got home and they worked on her craft and she played with Sammy and basically is learning how to do claw machines.

here she is at the workshop. not fun for my miserable baby

Sammy hard at work on her claw machine.

 

I love the color of these patches

The next workshop is next weekend and I hope that the girls will enjoy this one and not be sick
