Playing School

My girls have a LOVE of school! They have reached an age together where like to play any type of dramatic play together... Most often it's "Mom and Kid" (house)... But lately it's becoming school. 

They ask for homework constantly (weird)! 

At 7am this morning they were doing "homework"... It was actually real work from workbooks and they were loving it!

Each night Mckenna has one page of homework from school. She also has a monthly homework calendar that lists extra practice activities in math, reading and writing that she can do. We do the extra activities a few nights a week. Tonight she chose a writing prompt. I let her type out her sentences instead of write them. She did really well! I was introducing the space bar to her and she kept calling it the "free space"!

Norah requests homework while Mckenna does hers. Right now she is working on identifying lower case letters and learning to write the letters in her name (she's got the O and H). One of her favorite new activities is letter search with dot paint!

Apparently tonight wearing sunglasses makes homework even more fun!!

Ah yes "school"! Guess who's the teacher (aka BOSS). 

Notice the pointer!

Upper case letter ID for Norah! Dot painting the ones she's getting right! Oh goodness!!

And rewarding her correct answers with M&Ms!!!!

They sure make me laugh!!!

Another Trophy!!

Today was Mckenna's trophy ceremony for her T-Ball team! 

While she wasn't 100% into baseball, she is very into trophies! Needless to say, she was very excited about her "special day" today. 

Hanging out with part of her team during the ceremony. 

Headed across the stage!

So Proud!

Wow! She was hoping that the trophy would have a heart on top of it this year (last years had a star)... she settled for a glove and ball!

She even let her sister hold it!

We found our friend Katie! She played on a different day than us.

Hanging out in the face painting line...

We opted for arm painting...

While Norah chose a spiderman face! Too funny!

In line for the jumpies!

Fun times!

There was a reptile show as one of the events at the Block Party that followed the trophy ceremony.

Norah said she would touch the snake... and then it got close! 

And it stuck out its tongue! 

Not happening!

Spring Has (finally) Arrived!!!

The weather finally topped 50 degrees today!!! Yea!!! 

To celebrate we spent nearly the whole day outside!

Mckenna's bike had a flat....  So she fixes that!

Two trips to the park kept us busy too!!

I love seeing what this girl can learn to do at the park after a winter indoors!

This sweetie too!!!

Ah yes... Nap time! Paci time!!

Park round 2

Backyard fun!

We even got the deck toys straightened up!

Snapping green beans for dinner!!

All that playing meant 7pm bed time!!
