September 2017

HOMESCHOOL BEGINS




TINKERCRATE
The kids love doing Tinkercrate with Jared every month.  In this one they learned about constellations and made their own mini planetarium.  


BROOKLYN BALLERINA




I finally finished Brooklyn's baby quilt with the ballerinas on it.   

PRESCHOOL



Audrey loves having preschool time with mom everyday.  She makes and fills a letter box, builds letters, reads books, sings songs, and gets special letter treats; but her favorite part of preschool is doing the crafts.  The letter crafts were starting to take over our entire fridge, so we started putting them in a binder so she can have her own alphabet book.  She likes to "read" her preschool book during nap time.  

Our letter of the week correlates with the letter of the week at the library storytime.  Audrey loves going to her big girl storytime every week.  Here she is waiting to surprise her storytime teacher for her birthday with some cards that she made.

FAMILY FUN
IThese girls make certain I never let any possible craft supplies go to waste. I had a little left over tule from a baby shower favor and the girls decided to make mini tutus for their kitties.  

Brooklyn in her walker


Brooklyn loves to be held constantly and she gets upset if anyone walks by her without picking her up.  Her siblings can't resist her cuteness and are usually happy to oblige.  I'm afraid it will be a long time before she learns how to crawl.


Playing at the Mayborn

Brooklyn was fascinated by Abby's toy butterfly.


THOMAS' BIRTHDAY
We went out to dinner to celebrate Thomas' 5th birthday.  Afterwards the older kids told Audrey all about her big brother Thomas while we looked at his pictures.   We sure miss our sweet, little guy.  

BUDDIES
Audrey likes to feed Brooklyn puffs, cheerios and baby food. 




Audrey is excited that Brooklyn is finally big enough to sit up in the cart with her when I go grocery shopping.
