Reasons to LOVE Little Boys!

I LOVE the way little boys minds work!!

I asked Aidman to bring me Nine things. First he got out the blocks and lined them all nine up in a row.


Next, he chooses to count cars, again lining them all in a row. Then he decided that all the cars need to be facing the blocks, so they can CRASH into it!! (Notice how he is counting with his fingers, I love that!)

And CRASH!!! I Love that smile!


Ahh...a Happy Boy!!

Our Nest Is Best!

Today we read The Best Nest by P.D. Eastman (one of our favorite authors!).

Then we went searching for a nest. We have 3 REALLY big squirrel nest in our trees. We also walked our entire street on the hunt for more nest, we found several.

Next, we decided to make our own nest. The kids said that we needed leaves, moss, sticks, and grass, so that's what they looked for.

Then they got busy building the nest. We found that it was easiest to keep intact by putting the sticks through the moss and connecting it that way. I asked them if they could build a nest without using their hands like birds do and they said that would be too hard.



Our nest looks pretty good!

Newspaper Nn

Today we made newspaper Nn's. Aidman worked hard to cut Nns out of the newspaper so that's all that he wanted to glue onto his Nn.

Both of the girls pretty much covered up their Nns.

They really had a good time cutting the newspaper and spent most of the time doing that.


Then they all glue what the cut out onto the Nns.
