We are still on total break from school. What do we do all day? Lots of Legos and board games. I think Lupin's clasroom is done -- I'll post a photo. DH had surgery the Thursday before Christmas, so we planned for a very low key holiday. I tried to keep the girls busy with a bit of crafting and making, overcoming my great dislike of scattered glitter and frosting stuck to the dining room chairs. Good gifts (among so many): We love Victoria's Fridge Phonics  which really surprises me because we avoided all such toys with Violet like the plague. But Victoria is learning reading so differently. She is a very aural kid -- identifying letters visually is still a work in progress, but if you ask what letter starts "Mom" she will sound it out and say "M" and she can spell her name aloud. For Violet, this cool writing tablet to use with the computer  She can draw like crazy with it -- and no paper! It's also fun to trace with. I think we are on our way to owning every Cranium-type board game in existence, and the library grew tremendously too. (I love that Violet opens the books and acts like *yawn -- books again* but then she stops opening presents and starts reading right away!) Here's a bit of our holiday prep work, in pictures:  Cookies  cookie monster number one  cookie monster number two  ornament making  ornament maker -- with green juice mustache  ornaments |
