Amalgamation

This is another A letter activity we did. I wrote big and little A's on the non sticky side of clear contact paper (little a's had to be written backwards, which was easy because they just look like capital D's). Then I cut out colored A's and a's so they could match them to the corresponding A's on the contact paper. They loved this activity and Will did surprisingly well putting the A's the right direction and matching them to the correct case. HOORAY. It's so rewarding to teach my kids and have them get it!

 Will loves Claire so much. He comes up to me quite frequently and says, "Mom, I love Claire sooo much." And I reassure him that she loves him too. He's just so rough with her!

She is getting into everything these days, here she's "helping" with the dishes. She's become such a busy-body recently that I've been telling her "no-no," so she has started saying "no-no" to everything too.

And this dude! He turned 3! I can't believe my little guy is already three. That also means we've lived in this house for three years. I can't believe how fast time has flown by. We had a fun day playing in the 90 degree weather.

I made him pizza for dinner, we opened presents, smacked open a pinata and ate brownies (idea courtesy Kristen).

This week Brad is once again out of town. Here we are romping around at Shoshone Falls park.
