A Little Bit of Everything

I just have a little bit of everything to post so I thought I would share in one instead of many.  Follow along with my picture story.

I got an opportunity, after 6 years of living here, to finally stop at the little book store in town.  I found this gem.  It is in depth but has tons of pictures.

On the day we were learning about rocks, Argentina and fossils I pulled the visual dictionary out to show Lachlan the page on fossils.  I really try to show a visual to Lachlan when we are learning about something.  I love that I can now pull out a book, old fashion, I know.  But nice to have diversity.

Lachlan really wanted to write his name.  So I got out this tracing sheet I made for him and for the first time he really concentrated.  He held his pen just right and went to work.  He did such a great job.

Peter put his arm around Lucy.  I am so glad I had my camera close.

We painted with utensils.  We were learning about washing dishes.  So Mother Goose Time had us use some for art.

A spoon.

A fork.  Peter's favorite utensil to use.  It really looks neat.

And then it just got messy!

We went to Cousin Ried's birthday party and really enjoyed the cupcakes.
