Fort Fun

So we had a fort this weekend, which was lots of fun. Which we needed, as M has been rather cranky. He's normally loud anyways, but he has been ultra-loud the last 3 or 4 days. So we needed something fun and different for a bit (which is why we played hide-n-seek in the (semi) dark for an hour Saturday). Anyways, here's some shots of our fort. We built it over the tepee tent and the couch, using some frames from a baby playmat for structure (we use them for many, many, many things).

This week we are studying the Letter E. I can't wait, there are so many fun E things!

Fun Stuff

Here's some of the fun we've been up to the past few days... we added some more cards to our dinosaur memory game...

...and made some valentine snails...

Letter D Week

We started the week with Dragons and Dogs, then...

We made Dirt! Chocolate pudding and smashed chocolate graham crackers with worms. "Candy worms," as my son will specify. Both of them looked at me like I was nuts when they sat down at the table with the end product. M was reluctant, but dove in eventually, and L was happy just to stick with the candy worm.

Another day we did D is for Donut, and the boys helped me cut donut holes into refridgerator biscuits and then I fried them, and we dipped them in sugar and ate!

Lastly we did Dinosaurs. We have made a Dinosaur Memory Game by printing two of these on cardstock, giving us a starter set of 8 cards. We also colored a bunch of dinos, made dino sun-catchers (below), and watched The Land Before Time (they've never seen it). Letter D is great fun!
