F is for Frog

I will be the first to admit that I have

not been on my Blogging "A" Game!

I took this weekend to regroup and get organized.

Well, as good as I can with 

my crazy hectic life!

This week we are reviewing the letter Ff 

and the # 6.

Today, William was my special helper!

Here he is with our cool book we read today:

We then made our very own Frogs!

While making these, 

the kids had to 

FOLLOW 

(f word)

directions.

I would tell them which size and color 

of shape to use next and they had to watch me 

assemble mine, then do it themselves.

Seems easy,

but these kiddos get ancy and want to 

go ahead of me!

We had some frog tongues beside our eyeballs!

Lol!

Following directions and being patient 

are two HUGE lessons to be learned 

in preschool. 

Little activities like this 

help them to learn.

Voila! 

Since it was rainy and gloomy today,

I got out the scissors, glue, markers, and colored

paper so the kids could make their 

very own masterpieces!

They LOVE to do this.

It keeps them happy for awhile,

until we have to clean up

the 50 thousand tiny pieces of paper.

Then it's not so fun!

Lol!

These pretty little girls fixed Mrs Melea's hair this afternoon.

They informed me that I had little white "things" that

wouldn't come out!

I am glad I have an appointment Friday to wash those out!!

hahaha!

My little family has been 

BUSY!!!

As usual.

We have been watching Rhett Dawson

and the Jr High Tiger Football Team!

They had a HUGE win against Marshall

last week!

Here is my handsome boy running that football! 

And these beautiful girls had their first game of 

their 2014- 2015 college season tonight.

They won!

Love my kiddos with all my heart.

And if all that wasn't enough to keep me busy,

My friend Amy and I have been blessed

with wonderful response to our new 

business

The Craftsy Chicks.

If you haven't heard of it,

Look us up on Facebook!

We are loving it

and I am really loving meeting new

lovely ladies!

With everything that is going on in my life,

I tend to think there is not enough of me to 

go around and not enough hours in the day,

I am assuming I am not the only momma 

that feels this way.

Although my babies are older,

they still need me.

I hope they will always "need" me.

I will always need them.

So for you mommas that are feeling my pain 

tonight, this is for you: 

Cast all your anxiety on Him

because He cares for you.

Playing Catch Up.

We have had a pretty wonderful week so far!

My free time has been ZERO this week,

so my blogging has suffered.

I do manage to take pictures 

of these sweet guys though!

Monday we introduced the Letter C and #3.

Our morning circle time consisted of 

a friendly reminder chat of taking care

of our things. Toys,

books, and even our bodies need to be cared for.

If not, they become broken.

A little chat turned into a story telling marathon.

You can imagine with little ones,

and that is just fine.

I enjoy having those mornings every once 

and awhile. 

But they have taken our chat and have used it.

That makes me proud.

Putting books on the shelf correctly,

washing their hands,

and even drinking LOTS of water!

The UPS man dropped off a wonderful surprise 

on Monday, as well!
My Aunt Donna sent the kids and I 

a special box FULL of awesome craft supplies!

How GREAT is that??

I am very blessed with wonderful family!

The kids thought it was Christmas!

Gavin made sure everyone knew that

the box was from HIS Aunt Donna.

Lol.

I already called her, 

but I know she reads the blog, as well.

So, THANK YOU AUNT DONNA!
WE LOVE YOU AND CANNOT WAIT

TO USE OUR NEW STUFF!!!!

On Tuesday,

we decided to do some handwriting outside. 

The BIG dry erase board is always

a treat for our handwriting days!

Then we enjoyed the beautiful sunshine!

Today, we read 

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

for the letter C,

and made our very own caterpillars!

Alot of you have asked about my little 

girl's trip I went on with a few of my BFF's.

We had a wonderful time.

This was our 4th year to go

and look forward to MANY more.

I am so ready to go back. 

Trust in the Lord with all your heart

and lean not on your own understanding;

In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will

make your paths straight.

What a week!

What a crazy week!

I feel like I have met myself

coming and going!

Monday, we painted our pumpkins!

We still have 4 kiddos that need to paint theirs!

We will make sure and get theirs done by next week!

I think they had a great time decorating

and making each pumpkin their own.

We had a new treat!

I decided to let the kids play in the finger paint.

I thought this would be a great way to practice 

writing their letter Bb and #2!

Plus, I may or may not have picked up 

the wrong type of ink for my printer.

This makes it hard to have my worksheets 

ready for the kiddos.

I dont think they minded!

Yes, there was paint EVERYWHERE!

That's why preschool is SO fun!

Today, Ms Yvonne came to see us

and we got to have some great time outside 

before the rain started.

This will be my last post this week

because I am headed with some of my 

girlfriends to the beach!

Woot.

We go every year and love every second.

We do NOTHING.

Something I am not used to!

Enjoy your week!

With Love,
