B Week ~ Day 4

Another busy day for our family! It seems to be the theme lately.

Today both Abby and Faith practiced writing their Bs. (Faith in printing and Abby in cursive.) I completely forgot to pick up inexpensive shaving cream at Target today so Lily could practice as well. I will try to do that before this week is up. It will be good for her to do all the letters this way. (Of course if she uses the shaving cream, her sisters will insist they get to use it, too. They all love playing with shaving cream!)









We also went to the library and picked out books. The girls have a tendency to gravitate toward the "favorite characters" section, as is evident by the books they are holding in this picture. I try to get them to branch out a bit, but they know what they like!

This afternoon, we traded an art project for outside play in bathing suits (we got a new Slip and Slide, and with the unbearable heat, who could say no?)

Keeping with our theme of incorporating B foods every day, we had broccoli as well as bread and butter with our dinner.

Caleb loves broccoli, so he was glad it is B week!

The girls made birthday cards for their Papa (whose birthday is next week) for an after-dinner activity.

The girls got to use birthday stamps tonight, so they were excited.

Storytime tonight included the Berenstain Bears (a family favorite), and in both books we read, the girls looked for the letter B.

Nothing we did today was mind-blowing or very creative, but it's proof that even when you have many things that need to be done or you just are really busy, you can still focus on a letter or a theme of some sort. I will be going back to work in a few weeks, so I am hoping that I'll be able to still do letters of the week in this manner. Tomorrow Faith has a test in the morning and we have to clean the house because my in laws are coming over. So, we'll see how many B activities we can squeeze in. Luckily the girls are home this weekend, so we may extend our B week through the weekend and start C on Monday.
