B Week~Day 3

Today was supposed to be a breeze; I had things set up for the morning before I went to bed. I woke up at 5:30 because the fan in my room stopped running. Yep. Power out again. As we waited and watched a big truck come and remove tree branches from our power line, the kids did some of their B activities before we headed over to Grandma and Papa's house for some air conditioning and running water.

While waiting for breakfast this morning, Faith did her Bob Tomato sheet, a dot-to-dot.






Faith and Lily also made Bs out of beans. (When they were done, Faith asked if she could eat one. Not sure what she thought that dried kidney bean actually was. . . )

Faith also worked on her B book today. She had a book in the shape of a B, and she looked through old magazines to cut out pictures of things that started with B (such as a baby, broccoli, a bug, basket of berries. . . ) Not only was it a good activity for letter and sound recognition, it was also great small motor work. Faith's doing really well with how she holds and uses scissors. And while she writes, colors and draws with her right hand, she cuts with her left.




This afternoon we went to the beauty salon and the kids and I all got beautified. Honestly, if this hadn't been on our agenda for this week, we probably would've played beauty salon. My girls love when I curl their hair with the curling iron or straighten it with the flat iron or something else out of the ordinary pony tails, braids and bows.

While we were at the salon, the girls built with Bristle Blocks (I so wish we had these at home!). Faith actually made a baby out of the blocks!

The girls go to their dad's for dinner on Wednesday night, but I still kept up the theme and sauted some fresh beans for dinner. This has been a very busy week, but the girls are having a good time. Tomorrow we work on writing Bs. If we had some shaving cream, I'd have them write Bs in shaving cream. . . May have to get some before tomorrow afternoon! We'll also be going to the library to pick out new books. B is such a great letter for doing a lot of regular things!
