December 10, 2007 - Icy Trees & Preschool Activities




Yep, we have ice...and lots of it. But we don't have nearly as much as the folks northeast of us have. At my mom's house, my dad's house, my sister's house and my two brothers' houses they do not have electricity. My mom said that they could hear the large branches on the trees cracking during the night and there are large branches down all over her yard. She said it looks like a tornado went through her yard. So far, we don't have any branches down at our house, although the trees are really being pulled downward by all of that ice.










This is a Japanese Maple tree that sits just outside of our living room window.  Over the past week or so, I have been admiring the beautiful red leaves.  They have a very unique, but still very pretty, look now.  It is a beautiful tree.  I am hoping it is not damaged by all of the ice.











Here are the boys, doing some of the activities from one of the books I'm reading:

playing with buttons and sorting them into ice trays, playing with colored water and moving it from one side of the dish to the other with sponges and medicine droppers. They have so much fun with these activities.

Lea,

You are such an inspiration to me!! My little boy is the same age as your little ones. You do more in one day with your two, than I do with my one! I just ordered Mommy, teach me from Barbara Curtis and can't wait to get started with some of the activities.

Jackson (my son) is 27 months old and from Kemerovo, Russia. He's been home since September of 2006.

I look so forward to seeing how things are going with you and the boys. Keep up your most excellent parenting!!
