Charlee’s 2nd Birthday

My heart is so full. I love this little señorita so much. I love 2. Cheeks so squishy. Little hands squished into playdoh. Always wanting to be chased around the yard. It makes me miss Millie at this age too. She’s chatting up a little storm. Learning new words everyday. She likes to argue withContinue reading “Charlee’s 2nd Birthday”

Preschool 1 Week 30- Prophets

So the first full weekend in April is our church’s General Conference where we hear from our prophet and apostles. We are also studying the Old Testament this year so that’s fun way to talk about prophets too. I hurried and ordered an Usbourne Bible Stories book for this week. It came with a cdContinue reading “Preschool 1 Week 30- Prophets”

Preschool 1 Week 29- Spring

So I have gotten so far behind on these posts. This was one of the last weeks of March and I’m writing this in July. Oops. For sure next year I want to do more of a monthly highlights for blog posts. We kept this week really simple. I got a bunch of books aboutContinue reading “Preschool 1 Week 29- Spring”

Preschool 1 Week 28- Ireland!

Ok this was arguably my favorite week this year. I got a ton of books on Ireland from the library to celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day. Millie’s favorite was a huge book that had tons of pictures. She loved looking at the castles and the cute furry highland cows. She said she wants to visit IrelandContinue reading “Preschool 1 Week 28- Ireland!”

Preach 1 Weeks 26-27 March Madness

Woohoo basketball! My favorite sport. I’m so behind on posting these. But we have been so busy I haven’t had time. I made a bracket for the girls favorite books and called it “book madness”. It was so cute to watch the girls choose which book was going to move on to the next round.Continue reading “Preach 1 Weeks 26-27 March Madness”

Preschool 1 Week-24, 25 Valentines

Millie loves Valentine’s Day so we celebrated for two weeks. We picked out some inexpensive decorations at the grocery store and the girls loved them. I also let Millie pick out some things for a valentines gift for Charlee. She picked Hershey kisses and a plastic heart necklace. I snuck and grabbed some more ofContinue reading “Preschool 1 Week-24, 25 Valentines”

Preschool 1 Week 23-Chinese New Year

I have been so excited to celebrate CNY with my kids since I was a kid. I am no expert on Chinese history, but I loved learning about all the traditions associated with Chinese New Year. Now I can learn more about them with my family. First thing we did was place an order toContinue reading “Preschool 1 Week 23-Chinese New Year”

Preschool 1 Week 20-Van Gogh

For my Christmas present for the girls I got us tickets to a Van Gogh Immersive Experience, so naturally we had to take a week to learn about him! We started watching this YouTube video together: It summarizes Van Gogh’s life and briefly mentions that he cut his ear off. I didn’t think Millie wasContinue reading “Preschool 1 Week 20-Van Gogh”

Preschool 1 Week 22- Responsibilities

So basically this week I was so behind in housework and so bummed out. I was reading about Chinese New Year and learned that one of the traditions associated with CNY is spring cleaning. I thought about how much funner it would be to celebrate in a clean home. Then I proceeded to do theContinue reading “Preschool 1 Week 22- Responsibilities”

Preschool 1 Week 21- Sharing

This week was a short week with Martin Luther King Jr Day so we did kind of a mini lesson week. Millie has been taking all of the toys to her room so Charlee has nothing to play with. She is going through a phase where she just has to have what Charlee has. SoContinue reading “Preschool 1 Week 21- Sharing”
