a River, a Lily, and a Goose

This week we are talking about the letters R, L, and G.  The images we'll be drawing are: a river for R, a lily pad for L, and a goose for G.  Talk about these letters with your kids!  Ask them what they can spot around the house that begins with these letters.

~Last week we  had a birthday party for Reni's doll, Mousie...
 Cecily made delicious cupcakes and the girls got to put the frosting on themselves~

~Last Friday, we played a 'fishing' game.  The girls were asked to fish for a letter and identify something in the room that began with that letter.  Each fish had either an M, D, C, N or B... letters we had talked about in the previous two weeks~





~...and here are Talon and Julian peacefully fingerknitting.  Once they got the hang of it they loved it!  They were coming up with all kinds of ideas and made belts for their mamas, then belts for their play swords~
