Lots of blog thoughts, not enough time.

So we've had lots going on and I have often though hey, I should blog about that, but do I ever get to it? Nope! Good intentions, right?  I'm all about enjoying spring right now, hope you are too!!!!

Here are a few highlights of what we've been up to.

Montessori Activities:

The shelves I set up at home in our office. Which I am painting and decorating, YAY! 
The office, not the shelves!
Image
Beginning Letter sounds and matching pictures.

Working on the knobbed cylinders, 
"No, No, No, No, Yes" as she tries to place each cylinder from left to right, till she finds the right spot.
Image
The moveable alphabet I made from die-cuts and fun foam, this has been a big hit!
The knobbed cylinders and letter puzzles I checked out from the Children's Services Network, an amazing lending library for parents and daycare providers! Amazing Find!!!
Image
We welcomed two new baby girls to our family, Ryan's sister and mine each had little girls within a month of each other. Welcome, Maddi and Alli!!!

And now I'm out of time, so to be continued....

"Mom, This Is How Nephi Wears His Shirt"


Image

Let's just say that this phrase was uttered quite often recently in our house, usually with a pulled down shirt collar and bare shoulder. But this outfit was by far the best one to match the statement. This was taken during Lovebug's "Nephi and the Brass Plates" animated video phase, back in December, but I just took the pic off my camera and thought you all would enjoy it as much as I have!!!
