More Footprints in the Snow!

Another dusting of snow this morning, and even better footprints!

 These rabbit and kitty prints are up to the slider door, where the bunny cage is.  It looks like the bunnies have night time visitors that look at them through the window!  There were also lots of tracks around the patio.  We wondered how many different animals were out or if they were all the same one just moving around a lot!

 There were also TONS of little bird tracks, and some strange stripes/scratches in the snow.

Then we went to Lowe's for Build and Grow, it was a Santa sleigh and reindeer (the reindeer are no longer attached).

Footprints in the Snow!

In the snow this morning, we saw all kinds of footprints in the snow.  It seemed to be perfect timing, since Footprints in the Snow is our book this week!  

 We followed rabbit tracks from our back porch all the way to the river!

  Along the way we also spotted cat prints!

 When we got back to our yard, we noticed that the rabbits were hanging out in the play house.  The girls were really excited to see that!

Later when Daddy got home from work, we built a Frosty and a Crystal!

Numbers, Words Review and Piano Lessons

We got out the 100 pocket chart and practiced putting the numbers in order and skip counting.

 We also did some fun folder games, beginning sounds for the big one and matching upper and lower case letters for the little one.

We recently got a keyboard for beginning piano lessons for the girls.  Selena has even "written" some music.

In other news... our local learning store is going out of business :(.  We found some great deals, but are still incredibly sad that we wont have a place that we can just stop in and browse or pick up that "one thing" anymore.  I think we should be good for teacher resource materials in nearly every subject till about 8th grade... so that is good news.

Ice Skating Lessons and Abby's Birthday

We had another great ice skating lesson, and it also happened to be Abby's birthday!  Happy Birthday to my beautiful 4 year old!  We had such a busy day, lessons in the morning, a few small gifts, Chuck E Cheese after dinner, storytime at the library, followed by Grandma and Papa's house.  

  

 She sure loves her new jammies!  

 

Happy Birthday to my beautiful Gabriella!  

Christmas Crafts

What a fun way to spend a Sunday evening.  We made some snowglobe tree ornaments and some beaded candy canes.

 Our Ready2Read wall... with all of the books we've made up till now.

Lowe's, First Big Snow, and a Snowman!

We had a fun morning at Lowe's for the Build and Grow workshop.  We enjoyed making a science lab!

We also had the first large enough accumulation of snow for a snowman.  Selena went out alone and made this....

Frosty the Snowman

Catch up time! (Again!)

I can't believe that I haven't posted about anything since the program. Wait... I can!  We have been doing so much fun stuff that I haven't even gotten the pictures off of the camera today.  Some pictures (like the ones  from Abby's birthday) are on Grandma's camera, so I can't do those posts yet.
So watch out readers, I'm going to try to get caught up!
