Sunday Morning, everyone all cozy up!

Angie still sleeping in her bottom bunk fort.

She is supposed to sleep on the top, Gabriel the bottom and mommy is supposed to sleep with daddy, instead they both end up on top of mommy's arms in the bottom bunk, ouch! Can you see the mix of bedding, lol!

Since Angie is still sleeping, I'll wait quietly in MY BOX!








Working in the garden.

Working hard this weekend. Gabriel just loves to mimic his father.



Here he is observing.




Our compost. Angie had hear the word compost on TV, but she didn't know what this was until now, this is what she tells me :).




Their favorite part of working in the garden is to get to pick a few strawberries everyday.

Angelica's Family Tree.

This was something we were supposed to do weeks ago. we got caught up doing much hand writing and learning to read (still working on that).





Angie really wanted to do this today, she put her little touches to the tree.
Our board is a little bear now since we cleaned it up some days ago.

She wanted a leaf for Jesus, so I ask her to stick it in the trunk because he comes before any of us. Also at the top is our little Baby Angel and our baby in the making, we don't know what is going to be so she draw a boy and a girl.

Alphabet Bug!


This was our project of the day for our little Gabriel, he is three and a half and is still having trouble with the alphabet. Angie learned it at two and a half. It's odd for me because I have tried the same as Angie and more!!! he is just too busy jumping and exploring.





*What I did is trace circles with a round cover (you can use a cup)

*Then we cut the circles out, which Gabriel loves cutting.

*Next we glue on the alphabet letter I had printed out from a document I made.

*Then we stock them to the wall with clear tape (folded with the sticky side out and stock to the circle and wall).
