Come Play With Us

Color Wheel Matching

We have been working on matching with Miss C, and she knows her colors quite well already.  I saw a project here No Time for Flashcards  that looked like a great idea.  It will help her work on fine motor skills, matching, also I am thinking a little ahead but with sight words too.  So last night I got to play arts and crafts.  I started with this

I used the a Tupperware to make the circles.  I doubled up on paper to make it a little sturdier.  I just glued the two circles together.

Then I painted the colors on, and also painted coordinating clothespins.  I then wrote the name of the color on each of the pie pieces and each clothespin.  

   

 I was a little bit proud of myself!  I think it came out pretty good.  This morning when Miss C got up I showed her the wheel and she thought it was pretty neat.  She had a hard time getting the clothes pins to work, but by the end of the day she was doing a lot better with it.  So I guess practice, practice!  

So I got home from work today, and I noticed that Daddy had been doing some crafts of his own with C.

Take note of how buxom this little gal is.

So C tells me come see Mommy.  When I looked at her, I said WOW, Who is that?  She tells me, It's YOU, Mommy!  I am not sure if I should be flattered.....?  

Here it is

I have been intending to start up a blog for a while now.  Mostly as a way of sharing information with family and friends about the comings and goings of our happy little family.  So here it is! 

Things have been a little crazy around our house lately...we recently switched from having the girls in daycare full-time to quite a different scenario.  Now, Andy (who works the night shift) gets to stay up with the girls until our babysitter comes in the afternoon.  She stays till I get home from work and then I take it from there. With this new system, Andy and I don't see each other much during the week, and he doesn't get much downtime anymore, but we are saving tons of money.  Which makes us happy.  SO, we have all been adjusting to our new schedule.  It has been going pretty well so far. 

So, I just wanted to put something up, and my aim is to post little and big moments from our lives, as well as ideas, information, and other fun stuff that I have found here and there.  (Speaking of big moments, last Thursday, Miss E started scooting around the floor.  Soon we will hardly be able to keep up!)
