Update

Brian, Tia and kiddos came to visit last week which was a total blast. We went to Boise with them for a day and went to the aquarium. It looked lame from the outside but we had a ton of fun. 

 Unfortunately I didn't take any other pictures while they were here, be we also went on a picnic and a waterfall and played. It was so fun.

In other news, Ruth made herself a blue ribbon and glued it onto her clothes

Since our colors of the week ended up being successful (Will is now very color competent) I decided, since he's turning three next week, that he should start learning the letters. This week is the letter A. We made "A" animals:

We are making an "A" letter wall. It's awesome how I can adapt our activities for both kids. Ruth helps me come up with the "A" words and even wrote some of them, and Will looks at the words and shows us where the "A" is and tells us what sound the "A" makes.

 Today we made letter "A" sun catchers for the back door.

Yesterday was also Brad's birthday, like mine it was a pretty uneventful day for him. He went to work. When he came home we went to a greenhouse to get bushes and flowers for our front yard. Then I made him homemade mac and cheese with bacon and goat cheese and we had banana cream pie and strawberry rhubarb pie with ice cream. Happy 30th bebe!
