Dots

Last night Jon and Kate Plus 8 was on as my Background Noise. I just happened to look at the tv to see the kiddos using Do A Dot's to write their names. Kate was saying how it's good for prewritting skills.

I have these awesome Do A Dot's and have never thought to do this with my kiddos. They normally just love use them as a free art. Kate's reasoning made alot of sense to me so I decided we'd give it a try when we had a free moment.

This evening while I was cooking dinner the kiddos needed something to do so I gave them each a piece of paper with the letter Ll on it and a Bingo Dobber (as we call them).

Lyssy LOVED it and wanted to do more, so I gave her a paper with her name on it.

It was a fun, easy, and educational activity to occupy them while I was cooking.

Lemons, Lemons, Lemons!

Today we tasted lemons and limes.

Lyssy and AB liked lemons the best and Aidman liked limes best.

Then we juiced some lemons to make lemonade.

We thought it was very yummy, but Daddy thought it was too sour.

Then we painted with the left over lemon and lime rinds.

My house smells so fresh now!

Lace Ll's

Today we glued Lace onto Ll's.

It's always fun to touch different types of fabric and get to glue it on paper.

They are really pretty, I especially like the black one!
