Monday, January 10 - I made Gabby some silly sentence cards. She can put together the cards by putting them blue first, then green, and purple last. She loves them and thinks they are hilarious! It has really made her want to read them which I have been struggling lately with getting her to want to read to me. So now she is making sentences like: "The moon is jumping on my bed." Followed by nonstop giggles...then she makes another sentence like: "My bed was dancing in the trees." followed by more giggles.
Tuesday, January 11 - As I wrote last week Gabby has really been into color theme days...and usually it goes along with a tutu. This was a purple day from head to toe. When we went on some errands she found her purple jacket, but was a bit upset that she didn't have any purple shoes and had to settle on some black boots.
Wednesday, January 12 - The girls have both been saving their money since Christmas. They had me make them a goal chart to save $20. They originally wanted to get a pillow pet, but after they saw the new bears at Build-a-Bear they had a tough choice to make. They were both only about half-way to their goal so they had plenty of time to change their minds back and forth. When they reached their goals they had decided they wanted to go to Build-a-Bear and get a new bear. Gabby got the new love bear with a heart dress, and Kaylee got a lavender fluffy dog with a dog barking sound inside. We had gotten some coupons in the mail and the kids were thrilled that their money went further than they thought it would. They LOVE their new stuffed animals.
Thursday, January 13 - On Tuesday we had gone over to my parent's house and the girls made sugar cookies with my mom. She packed them up in a box as soon as they came out of the oven because we needed to get home. The girls had fun frosting them and putting candy on them, and licking the frosting right off the knife.
Friday, January 14 - My sister's kids didn't have school so I babysat her 3 kids. One thing I know will happen whenever Jaren comes over is that he will bring his legos, and there will be lots of Lego building throughout the day. They played with Jaren's Legos downstairs, then they came and played with Kaylee and Gabby's Legos upstairs. I did laundry yesterday and found a few clean Legos when I was done. They are everywhere!
Saturday, January 15 - The girls figured out how to make a teeter-totter using a couple of boxes. They also figured out the perfect weight distribution to keep them teetering, and tottering. They have had so much fun playing in this big box in so many different ways. Seriously...Why don't I just buy them boxes and not worry about the toys?
