Catching Up!

Good Blizzardy Morning!!

We are so excited with all of this snow!!  I know, I know it's a pain for some but we really love to hunker down, keep the weather channel on in the background and watch out the windows all day on a day like today!  Fingers are crossed all around that we don't lose power but beyond that - we're happy.

We finished up our unit on Mesopotamia last week and we journeyed to Ancient Egypt yesterday!!  I have put together lots of fun materials, some that I had and some that I purchased here.  I find it a great resource for fun, supplemental materials.

Here's what we've been up to!

Ty is rocking out his pottery class - he LOVES it!

she has come SO far with her multiplication!  she *almost* has all of her tables memorized!

jumping with a snack!

reading over breakfast

double digit addition and subtraction - he's getting REALLY good!

he's OBSESSED with the Usborne Illustrated Stories for Boys book!  awesome!

Loving the Fairy Realm Series

We talked a lot about MLK last week and they had amazing questions

A quick check at the orthodontist - no braces...yet!

a phenomenal poster at our library!

Lego Club - Ty

It's one of Ari's favorite types of meals!

Chocolate covered espresso beans - for Mommy ;)

If I didn't know better, I would have said she's channeling her inner Punky Brewster!

I taught them one of my favorite and most basic art techniques.  I learned this from my elementary school art teacher, Leslie.  How to make paper snowflakes!!

It's awesome when you can open them up and they magically transform into a beautiful snowflake!
