Week D

We had a harder time thinking of things to do that started with D, we had Daniel in the lions den, David and Goliath and about David killing the bear and the lion and Phi loved those. The we started learning about months since our month December started last week. And along with that came the Days of the week and the Days of creation. He of course doesn't get it all but some sinks in.


Then we had plenty of people to start with D.
Daddy of course...


and Uncle Dave (who Phi thought of himself)


Food was more of a challenge too but we Dipped our carrots in Dressing.


And for a change one evening with Daddy we did something the kids had never done before.
DONUTS

I was a little bummed that we didn't hit on a time when they were actually making the fresh ones but the kids didn't mind at all.



Daddy went out of town for one day so we headed to Gramma Jo's and stopped to feed some Ducks at a park along the river out there.

They were wild Ducks as Phi said and were too scared of us to come close and eat the bread we offered.
We got to throw rocks to the Dog, Ferguson.
A bit strange but he loves rocks, and will not touch sticks other than to bug Phi. If Phi has a stick Ferguson will grab it and run in an attempt at chase or possibly a bit of jealousy at his rival for Grandpa's attention.

Grandpa and Grandma's also has a great Driveway to walk down after the mail.

Phi even found a Dolphin that came all the way from Leticia


We did bread again but this time for the Dough side of it.


Drink was an every day one but we made it special by having hot cocoa in a special cup.


And in writing.

And of course Dump trucks and Diggers in abundance.


Our verse was: And whatsoever ye Do, Do it heartily as to the LORD and not unto men. Colosians 3:23

And the song: Daniel was a man of prayer
and
Only a boy named David

That cute cup is indeed a miniature bowl is it not? Can you believe those three miniature items are worth $70? I cant! What a cheesy company, they need to put measurements up for their items. At least they make special cups for the kids!

We are loving all the letter posts. Sounds like you need Miss Kate around to teach them that A is for angel B is for baking and burners and babies C is for cleaning and Clorox bleach and D is for dollys and dresses. :D
E is for Elliott so you should probably come and visit us this week. :D

Hey, didn't think of that one maybe we can talk Mr. Tech into the idea that we need to go visit ya'll for E. He did go for the D is for Donuts after all! :D Boy we do need Kate around to teach us the girly side of the alphabet, we totally missed those ones!

Yes Chatty, that is a little bowl! But hey, it is cute and at least it was free, thanks to you! :D

Wow, you are well on your way to being a great homeschool mom (if that's where the Lord leads you)! I am highly impressed at your creativity! :) Keep it up!
