Remember back in August when I posted about a friend doing an adoption fundraiser by raffling off some amazing prizes? Well, I won the photography package from Jenn Eileen Photography! We were able to get our pictures done two weeks ago, and I’m very happy with how they turned out. I also had help from the stylish Amber over at The Closeteer, who accessorized Kahlen and I from Florida :-) Seriously, if you need help with anything fashion or clothing related, call on her mad skilz.
ANYway, here are some of the pictures, enjoy!
And these aren’t even my favorites (You’ll have to wait for our Christmas card for those) :-)
We had a very successful and normal school week this week! We focused on All About Me on Monday and All About Family on Thursday. I’m still tweaking my plan sheet and how I get it to you. Anyone have any opinions about Google Drive? Do you even want to see my plan sheet or just pictures of the activities that we did? Is anyone out there? Enough talking…here’s my weekly plan sheet for Me and My Family:

Day 1 Pictures:
Worksheets
Jell-o Name(Glue and powdered jello over printout of name)
Name Game: I printed two pictures of each kid and put one set in a Stack n Smile Photo Blocks Stacking Toy. The other picture I put in a circle of yarn. We rolled the cube, then they had to run to that kid’s circle an stand in it.
Full Size Me: I traced each kid on a large piece of paper and then let them color it. If we’d had more focus, I’d have let them decorate it more, but coloring it was about all they could handle by this point.
Nate was very proud of his picture
Day 2 Pictures:
Dot Painting their initials. They love the dot painting!
Family Puzzles: I printed a plain black and white family picture and another color one on cardstock. I then cut the color one into four pieces and had them lay it over the black and white one. This was just enough of a puzzle for my bunch. They were able to just do it by themselves. Mostly. It was very good practice.
Nate has been enjoying daddy’s new Nexus tablet. His current favorite game is Kid’s Shape Puzzle so we actually bought the full version for once.
Here’s the books we used this week:
This week we are only doing one day because I have a huge consignment sale to get ready (which I already mentioned in my Weekly Wrap-Up Post, but it bears repeating!) If you’re local, be sure to join us on Friday. 9/21, from 10-8 and Saturday, 9/22, from 9-2 for the biggest and best kid’s consignment sale in the area!
