O Day

O day was a tricky letter. There aren’t too many preschool things that start with O. If only it had a been a few weeks later we could have just spent the day watching the Olympics.

We of course watched Olivia while we were eating breakfast.

Then for lunch we had an Orange and then as many Orange foods as I could think up.

Then during Will’s naptime we tried Origami and made an Ocean Liner on Orange paper.

Then my photography assistant woke up and noticed that the lens cap was a big O.

Outstanding job! (Ignore the fact that it is 3:00pm and we are still in our pj’s.)

 

 

 

 

 

Then we had breakfast for dinner. We had a yummy Omelet filled with sautéed mushrooms, onions, ham, and cheese.

You can’t have breakfast for dinner without Orange Julius. We also had O shaped pancakes.

Throughout the day we read books that started with O, played Dr. and gave Mommy an Operation, and Organized Madeline’s craft tub. Oh my I can’t believe we are already to the letter O. Off to bed I head.

N Day

I was Not on my picture taking game today. But here are a few of our Notable N day activities.

We named this guy Nerdy Ned.

Then it was time for Necklace making. Madeline did an amazing job. Will would put one on and eat 2. I was surprised that his chubby little fingers could put them on. After he finished his necklace he ate it all in about 3 minutes.

I told the kids one of the N day activities was to be nice to each other. Madeline kept saying I love you Will and he would say I love you to- to and then start laughing.  He continued to say that the rest of the day and crack himself up.

 

 

When Nick came home we rushed out the door to the Missouri Botanical Gardens. We stopped and picked up Subway for a picNic.

Madeline said the two best parts of the day were when we painted her Nails with her New purple Nail polish and feeding the fish.  My favorite part was listening to William count, sing, jump, read, laugh, and rearrange the curtains in his room during nap. It was 1 hour and 55 minutes of playing in his bed before he fell asleep for his Nap. At least he took a long Nap after all that playing and he Never cried.  Night Night everyone!

This is what brothers and sisters do I think? It is hard being an only child I am in uncharted territory.

Siblings????

M Day

The Marvelous M day finally arrived. Madeline was so excited when she went to bed she had a hard time falling asleep. This ALWAYS happens when the Mommy is planning to do something after they fall asleep and you don’t want them to see. After she was asleep I ran around the house hiding the letter M everywhere!edited Last Soccer and M day 078edited Last Soccer and M day 082

Madeline loved it. As she found each one she would yell here is a clue. Will would find them and say M and then flip it over and YELL W. We all know what his favorite letter might be.

For lunch we enjoyed Macaroni and Cheese along with our sandwich and huMus.  Will just uses his carrot as a way to get the huMus to his mouth.

During Will’s nap Madeline and I did some Marble art. We put a piece of paper inside the container. Then we dipped the Marble in paint and rolled that container all over town.

I thought they came out pretty Magnificent!

Then Madeline’s highlight for the day was getting to put on MoMMy’s Make-up.

She then ran into her room to put on something “fancy”. It was just that same old purple outfit she wants to wear everyday.

Will took a MIRACLE of a long nap and was proud to sport a shirt with our letter M and his favorite letter W. Now, he thought they were switch because from his view they do look a bit different.

Then we enjoyed one our family favorite meals, Mexican fiesta!  We end our evening with family Movie night. We also did a little Mail to Grandpa Ross and Uncle Eric and Sally.

Now I am going to Muster enough energy to Make my way to bed. Happy M day!
