Keeping Cool

Its been so hot recently we have been trying to stay cool.  We have been to the splash park, put a sprinkler up, and a pool.
 Here we are at the splash park by our house.

Fairy Week

Our theme weeks are up and running again.  We got a little bit of a late start because of basketball camp for Matthew and Nine taking her "vacation."  But this past week was Fairy Week.  Now I know it was more for Molly but we have weeks that are more for Matthew too, we have to be fair.  He liked meeting Tinkerbell and Periwinkle at Disney
Here they are making their own fairy dust.

Making Tinkerbell cupcakes, they were green and key lime flavored
Max can join in on the fun a little more this year.



Here we are making our Periwinkle/Silvermist Cookies-they were blue raspberry flavored.
They were messy.

Max for some reason thought it was easier to hunt with the Buzz mask and he wanted it backwards.
I turned it around on him.
Our fairy garden




This fairy grew in size when placed in water for a few days.  This is the before picture.

This is the after picture.
The kids books for the week.  Matthew is beyond my little print out books they are way too easy for him.
Molly's flashcards
Letter painting, again easy for Matthew but its still fun to paint and review.



Puzzle time, we had to really work on working as a team, but they did it eventually with no arguing.  

Matthew's writing.
Math
I also need to make harder word problems for Matthew, he read these and completed both sides in under 5 minutes.
