playing catch up

This was my week for preschool. Our theme was "Asia". Tuesday we learned about China and Japan. It was very fun. We read some stories, ate fortune cookies, played with Chinese battle sticks, made koi puppets and learned about "boy day". Today was a little off theme. I actually sat down to lesson plan a couple of times and never found anything that really struck me. We went to the library but had no luck. So we played outside a lot, which they loved. Read some books. Made fruit cocktail cake (thanks Anne!) and did some beginning consonant sounds work and some math papers. I had Austin and Ryan all day and also K after preschool so it was busy. The boys had a lot of fun. They played star wars guys for a long time. This morning before school they played "flood", which I was not very happy about. They were upstairs by themselves for about 15 minutes. During which time they set up all the guys on the table and brought glasses of water out of the bathroom and flooded them off. They were in BIG trouble when I saw their creative genius in action.
Tuesday night we were having FHE when our good friends stopped by to meet Zeus, Bob, Goliath, James, Paris, and back to just Jack. We had a fun time. We finished our lesson, ate mom's treat and then were treated to a song by Tori and Holly. (beware of dropping by during FHE you may be forced to eat cake and sing!)

Wednesday we went to the library.

Now I'm caught up on the news. I've been distracted this week with new puppy stuff, allergies, and trying to decide where to send our kids to school next year. But that will be another post.
