Sister Cousins

I'm pretty sure we are done having kids, which means Little Lady won't ever have a sister. At first this made me really sad; I have three younger sisters and I can't imagine life without them. Little Lady, however, has no desire to have a sister. In fact, she prayed for BabyZ to be a boy...she didn't want to have to share her Daddy with another girl. 😲😂 Jeremy also wanted BabyZ to be boy. He grew up the only boy with three younger sisters, and he thinks he's already dealt with his fair share of sister drama. 

I was worried Little Lady would be lonely and crave companionship, but she is pretty good at attracting girl friends. She's also always ready to be "one-of-the-boys" with her brothers. I don't think I have ever seen a sibling relationship as tight as her's with Mini Man; they just compliment each other really well. 

The Lord also blessed her with four girl cousins. Two of them who are less than a year younger than her. We don't live super close to any of them but when we do visit; it is always like no time has passed. She treasures these times to play and talk with her girl cousins...it's the only time I've ever seen her not want Mini Man hanging around. She loves them as fiercely as I loved my younger sisters. They only have to give each other a look and they burst into giggles. So maybe she won't ever have sisters but she's been blessed with lots of sister-cousins and sister-friends.
One of Little Lady's aunts bought her daughter, Wren, and Little Lady matching outfits. Little Lady loves fashion and was ecstatic about all the accessorizes. Wren is a fan of the dress but could do without all the rest; it was so sweet to see Little Lady side with and support her cousin in her objection to wearing it all. Eventually, they acquiesced and even let me take a bunch of cute pictures.
I love these girls! I hope they will always be able to make each other laugh, always have each others' backs, and never forget that they are warrior princesses.

A Little Red Cardboard Barn

We've finished our farm unit and are moving on to a new theme tomorrow - but before we do I wanted share the barn we made. The wooden farm animals came with a beautiful handmade ark that we gave Big Buddy for Christmas a couple years ago.  I would someday love to have a wood barn but it's currently not in the budget. So in the mean time we decided to improvise and make our own.  I stumbled upon this perfectly sized milk box (4 gallons per box) while subbing and thought it would be sturdy enough to handle play. Hubandie and the boys used an x-acto knife and wood glue to build a barn shape. to get the doors to fold out hubandie used an x-acto knife and scored the inside of the cardboard We then painted with a basic primer and outlined a window and a door with painters tape. cardboard is very porous so priming is a must if you want decent coverage Big Buddy however insisted that we add more windows so it...

Preschool Syllabus: Dr. Seuss

Normally I'd do a Dr. Seuss unit in March around his birthday. We had to do one now though because on Saturday Big Buddy and I going on a date to a  Dr. Seuss exhibit . The exhibit is only at the museum until January and I'm afraid if we don't go now we might not get the chance. We are of course reading lots of Dr. Seuss's books. A great advatage to studying Dr. Seuss in November rather than March is that all his books were available at the library. I also found a great children's biography which is perfect for preschoolers. Pebble First Biographies: Dr. Seuss  We've read it a couple times and Big Buddy loves reciting all the facts he's learned WRITING CENTER ADDITIONS big buddy's name in sand paper letters, coloring pages  & mazes from seussville.com skills practiced: fine motor, letter recognition, creativity,  reading comprehension LEARNING "TRAYS" -   I rotate these, setting out about four a day from which the boy...

Jack-O-Lanterns on the Fridge

Last fall I saw the idea for refrigerator pumpkins with face pieces in FamilyFun Magazine  and have been anxious to recreate them ever since. It was pretty quick and easy and since the only thing we didn't have on hand was magnetic sheets ($1.50 with coupon at Joann's) it was also very cheap. my supplies: magnetic sheets, orange & black construction paper, white pen, tacky glue *i know they have self adhesive sheets but my Joann's didn't carry them   glued (very messily) and ready to cut Both the boys were quite enthused when they discovered them after rest time :) Hopefully it will keep them entertained until we carve real pumpkins.
