Tot School (22 months)

 Another post! YAY!! I finally got organized and bought some boxes for tot school! These are the activities for the next couple of weeks. : )

 We have opening jars and using a screwdriver to screw screws, Prewriting skills, ABC box, blocks, and matching/cooking. We also have football, soccer and bubbles for outdoor play. Below are pictures of Bee using the boxes. : )

We've also done a lot of outdoor things in the last month... Below are some pictures. 

Setting up a tent with Daddy for backyard camping.

Kayaking with mommy.

Walking with our family. Bee wasn't interested in a family picture.

Yum getting in his "school" time too with tummy time.

This last picture is my favorite from this week. I wanted a nice picture with Bee. He didn't.... : )





As always, Check out what other kiddos are doing around the world at...

Felt Fruit

I have fallen in love with making felt fruit for Bee and Yum.  In three days, working mainly during nap and an hour or two in the evening after bedtime for Bee I have created these!

There are 10 strawberries, 4 blueberries, 3 orange wedges, 2 tomato slices, half a lemon and a whole pineapple. Click the fruit to see my patterns/inspiration.

There are so many more to do.  I plan to continue with fruit for now then branch out into vegetables and try my luck shortly after with lunches, dinners, and other things of interest. Like muffins, pies, cakes, etc...

P.S: I'm having a ton of fun making these and looking forward to doing so many more. If you have any ideas, please share. : )

Tot School!

We're Back! (Hopefully for more than just this week)

Wow, has life been busy, fun, interesting, and CRAZY! Bee and Yum are doing wonderfully and we are doing our best to squeeze in some sort of "tot school" activity each day. Whether that be going to a museum, sorting with our beads/pompoms, or baking.  The list goes on and on about some of the things we've done in the last month. Here are some pictures of what we've been up to. I won't say a lot about them but if you have any questions regarding what we are doing in the picture just ask and I'll tell you all about it!
