It was so good to have more home time after the busyness of last week! We started reading Little House in the Big Woods at breakfast and the girls are way more into it now than they were when I tried it last year. I think some of it has to do with us having watched some episodes of the show.
Vivien joined us more at the school table this week. When she wasn't doing her Handwriting Without Tears lesson, "writing" during Writing Workshop, or practicing writing her name, she was sitting in my lap. Her coloring is definitely improving! She also read her very first BOB book and has since read three more. I think we are going to stick with those four for a while longer until she is really comfortable with them.
I love how Amity is finding lots of reasons to write on her own. She made a map one day of our neighborhood (loose representation!) and included a compass rose and several key landmarks. She also leaves me notes around the house like one that said "Thank you for making brefast for dinr!"
We have also fallen in love Shirley Hughes's Alfie books this week and love read about his adventures that are very real life.
On Friday, we experienced the first rain in a long time along with cooler temperatures. The girls spent some time exploring the backyard which has not happened in a long time due to the crazy heat.

Since our wedding scrapbook is still in the form of a scrapBOX, we plan to use blurb.com to occasionally convert this blog into a photobook for our girls. Your comments will be included in the book and we love them! Thanks again for dropping by!
