Teaching styles can differ so! Today Ken worked to set aside time to be teacher to the boys instead of yours truly. They are learning the basics of programming and he is much more laid back and restive in his position in relation to where they are sitting! But were the boys ever EXCITED about Daddy being in charge!
Boy time
Today’s addition to the advent village was an unexpected one – a windmill! Though I am rather sure I will run out of laminating papers before I finish this project I am doing what I can and will finish the rest post season! Be sure to check out the Activity Village Advent Calendar… it is so much fun!
We got another word out of Echo today – UP! She is quite the accomplished climber now, up into the kids’ blue chairs… and FEARLESS! But still not up to the basement stairs (thank goodness!). Our little mini baby.
YAY
BUS!
Our weekly pj library time was squashed by Trinity’s runny nose. Instead I figured it best to have her ride out the cold here at home in preparation for our party on Sunday.
We decided to combine today and tomorrow’s Advent crafts into tomorrow morning. Today’s was making a snowman out of a sock! I found two versions quite by accident… first is the Activity Village one, and the other TipJunkie. I am taking some of each and letting the kids decide – do they want eyes? sequins? etc etc… I like the TipJunkie’s all one piece over the two socks and I did use a toddler sock! Should be fun tomorrow with the decorating! And tomorrow’s craft… well wait and see!
Ready for decoration
Ken and Emanuel and I did our SECOND Emanuel craft today… all that is left is a dress Santa sticker set and the facts of interest for us to read tomorrow but it has been fun! Today was making a reindeer out of paper, pom pom and googly eyes. Emanuel was VERY amazed at the need for TWO hands but only ONE foot and drew his own large smile!

Emanuel took this picture!
Today’s video is a cute one… I think I posted one of this cute little bear a week or so back but here he is again! The kids LOVED this one!
