Week 30: Letter U & Color Purple

Tough last week with Doodlebug getting over an ear infection and daddy doing some late shifts. The routine of doing 'fun' keeps from boredom, mischief and tantrums from flaring. So, we actually got quite a bit done.

 

 

U if for Umbrella fun!

Munchkin has gotten in to the soy-doh ( our gf substitute for play-doh) We made lots of U's

April 2012- Heaven

After Easter, the topic of Heaven is our biblical focus for the rest of April. We have already read 3 great books and done a craft as of the 10th  and have had some great conversations. I pray for the end result of these times of biblical focus. During Easter, I really just wanted Matthew to understand that baby Jesus who we talked about so much during Christmas grew up and became a man. The heart truth being that He loves us. Matthew very excitedly when he sees a picture of grown up Jesus will exclaim, He's alive!"  In those moments, I'm humbled by what God does with the activities we do around the house.  When I was first researching this topic for a preschool level, I just hoped to teach him there is a heaven. Now that he's aware Jesus is alive. I'm hoping through this focus that Matthew will understand by believing in Jesus being alive for us we get to be in heaven forever with Jesus. I'm excited to see what God will bring about..... :-)

Activities:

The week also included time in the closet due to 12 tornadoes in the area. Munchkin found his basket then, so I don't have any pictures of him enjoying that event. He had fun for an hour, it was a small price to pay to pass the time during an uneasy afternoon.

Easter Sunday:

The day also included a trip to the Kids Clinic due to a 102.6 temperature and an ear infection for Doodlebug. He's feeling a bit better every day
