I Heard Said the Bird

Preschool Work

I spent 45 min making a pumpkin play doh themed activities, and was interrupted every 5 min of those 45 min, only to be told “this isn’t really very fun, Mommy”. Humph.

All ready to go to Grandma Preschool.

Pandy was ordained. He is constantly accomplishing big things.

He graded them by frosting coverage.

Mrs. Lepper made us a glow in the dark sensory bin! It’s been the star activity all week...for every single boy.

Logan signed all the boys up for Weekly Readers. Elias loves doing what the big boys do.

Lewis loves his reading book for school. He reads ahead often and the stories make him laugh out loud. He is wearing his glasses more and more on his own accord. I’m guessing because he is reading more and more.

Lewis has speech therapy twice a week on Zoom. He chose would-you-rather questions as a reward for completing work. They’re funny questions and he and his therapist have some laughs together.

He’s doing so well this year! It’s fun to watch him thrive.

Very Busy

“Very busy” is not something we’ve said much this year. But the toddler could say that. It’s a good thing I have some helpers all the time around here.

He likes to scoop anything he can get on a spoon.

He’s very good at using a pair of tongs.

He usually finds a different tool from the play kitchen each morning to use in his cereal.

And he likes the idea of being big enough to use pens, pencils, and markers.

Grand Prize?!

Elias managed to win the GRAND PRIZE from the Lincoln City Library Summer Reading Program. What?!

He won a kids Fire tablet, a tote bag, a coffee cup he hates, a book light he loves, a small pad of sticky notes, and a pencil. We use the tablet for school related learning, which is a fun twist we weren’t expecting!

Grading the Yard

It was an exciting two days around here not long ago. Our long awaited load of dirt we ordered with the neighbor’s to the south arrived!

Augustine took out the stepping stones for me so we could fill the holes in with dirt and seed.

All the boys enjoyed learning from and helping Mr. Ryan spread the dirt out.

They got their school work done in record time, and then worked for hours outside. The first day we worked it was hot.

Levi happily played while everyone worked.

The second day was much cooler and pleasant.

I even got to help clean up a little.

Spreading the seed was as much fun as the dirt because of the tools involved.

Logan was working both days, but he has taken on diligently watering every day. We’ve got a lot of grass popping up! We also had four days of rain about a week later so Logan was thrilled to see the water run away from the house.

I am gonna teach you how to play the bashketball

The boys are looking for new things to do around home, so we decided to try out the basketball hoop that came with our house. Grandma provided a ball.
