An Apple Story

So I gave the girls some apples to snack on today.

They were smaller Gala apples, perfect size for little girls.

Daisy ate this much.

Page ate this much.

Are they really sisters?

Our Wildlife Week

In honor of hunting season we did a wildlife tot pack this week for preschool.
We used the pack from Our Little Monkeys.
The girls loved it, plus the knew what all the animals were, we see them all the time!

Daisy enjoyed doing the animal puzzles, animal matching, animal letter flashcards. She also had fun acting out what each animal was like.
 She also did very good on the tracing pages this week. Her pencil grip is getting better and her coordination is vastly improving. She also is retaining so much more information then I thought possible.  Guess I'm not setting my sight high enough.
Page is doing all these, but her attention span is now where long enough and she sometimes just wants to build with the blocks. So I let her! :)
We are also still reading Charlotte's Web and I have to say, each time they sit just a little bit longer and pay attention a little bit more. It's nice.

Sorry didn't get many pictures this week.
Dad com-endeared the camera to take pictures of his elk he got.

We are linking up to tot school.

Nah I've been in super mode.
Decluttering, cleaning, getting ready for winter.
That kinda thing.
I'm thinking it will probably go on for a little bit.
I'm hoping I can get my storage unit organized before snow hits.
But where I'm from snow could hit....
....tomorrow and not leave until.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................next April.
Go figure....

Hope your having a great fall!

Dinosaur Quarry trip with the YF&R

We woke up Saturday to a winter wonderland.
The first of October.
Yuck.

Well we went to our Young Farmer and Rancher Social.
Not many showed up, just us die hard's.

We went to the Dinosaur Quarry to see the bones in the hillside.
It's been quite a while since I've been up to the quarry, sad since my parents live around the bend from it basically.

Well, and it's been closed for the past five years.
It is now opened again after renovations, so admission was free for the past few weeks.

So here are some fun pictures from our visit!
Yes I realize that all the snow is melted in the pictures...but believe me it covered everything, until it melted.
I'm thinking we need to go and visit the field house soon.

 The girls would love that!

Schedules, Hands, 4wd, and Julie Andrews

Life has been crazy!
Which I guess is really normal for us.
Koda is actually working a kind of schedule.
10 days.
5 off.
10 nights.
We are on the sucky side of that schedule.
Blah.
This past week we didn't get any scheduled preschool in.
But we did get to spend wonderful time with our daddy and husband.
We also had a checkup for Miss Page.
All is healing well.
Maybe within a year to eighteen months her hand will look better.
I'm mostly excited that the next trip to the city is in 3 months instead of 1.
The weather here has been CRAPPY!
Like as in it froze the other night.
Snow this morning.
Mud everywhere.
To visit me you must have 4wd.
Dead serious.
I hate the mud!!!
But on a happier note.
I've been on a Julie Andrews kick.
Sound of Music, watched last night.
Mary Poppins, tonight.
Princess Diaries, tomorrow?
Hmmmm what's some of your favs?

I'm going to go to bed.
Night to you all!

A is for Apple

"The A says ahhh
The A says ahh
Every letter makes a sound the A says ahhh"

I've heard that song all week long.
Yes my girls LOVE the movie Leap Frog Letter Factory.

So as you can guess we learned about A this week.

Our week consisted of,
Aa sorting/matching.
Aa Do-a-dots, we actually got some bingo markers at the $1 Store, they did really good with them!
A is for Apple coloring page, Daisy actually traced the Aa for the first time! I'd say she did pretty darn good.
Apple pre-writing pages.
Read The adventures of Abby Alligator.
Mini Book Who Ran Away.
And A vocab cards.
Starfall.
And Letter Factory!!!

We also read 10 Apples up on Top by Dr. Suess and did apple print painting, drew a picture with 10 apples on our heads, and tried to have 10 apples...umm really 1 apple on  our head.

Our theme this month is Fall!

So we did a Fall tot book and had a fall themed sensory tub.

Also to go with our Fall theme we started reading Charlotte's Web.

They really enjoyed this week and so did I!

Next up L is for Leaves!!
