The Baby's Stuff

Have you ever noticed that babies love remotes, cords, paper, and other household items?  When the twins were little I put together a box of stuff and it was better than any toy we had.  I have done the same for the youngest girl.  The box is missing a few items like the remote and Burt Bee's box with jelly beans taped shut, but you get the idea. 

Letter L - Lions and Lines

When we started learning about the Letter L one of the first things I did was talk about lines.  They love lines and are always saying, "Straight line down!"  We discussed horizontal, vertical, diagonal, long, short, wavy, and zig-zag lines.  They practiced making different kinds of lines on the letter L.  We also made a lion, which has been one of my favorites.

Letter L

We had a lull in our Internet so I have so many ideas to share with you all.  Now that the Holidays are over and the twins have had their 3rd birthday I have focused on our learning.  I think G and H missed it too. 

We did the Letter L a few weeks ago.  I cut up a lemon and lime so they could do fruit stamping. 

I also made a special lion lunch which I came up with 5 minutes before I made it. 

Here I am

I haven't forgotten about my blog.  We are still crazy busy over here getting ready for G and H's 3rd birthday.  How did that happen?  I thought I would post some things we did when they were they were much younger.

A surprise inside - opening and closing

A Homemade Christmas

When I was a little girl my mother made a lot of my gifts.  I had this Barbie cloak in navy blue with a snap and a Peter Pan collar.  It was my favorite outfit for Barbie.  Sometimes the best gifts aren't purchased, but made with love.  So, this year I have tried to make some things for my children.  I just finished a cake stand for their felt cakes, which will go in their bakery.

To make this cake stand you  need a wooden plate found in the clock making section and a wooden candle holder.  I painted and coated it with a clear satin finish, predrilled two holes and then drilled in the screw.  It took no time and was really inexpensive.

King Kabobs

For our letter K we made king crowns and had a special kabob lunch.  They loved the lunch and have asked a million times to do it again.  I loved it because it was quick and very little clean up.

Kissing Kites

G and H love to get into chap lips or lipstick, so I gave them a chance to really put their love of lipstick to good use.  They put on copious amounts of lip gloss and kissed a letter K.  We also made kites because you can't learn the letter K without making a kite.
