Week F

Week F was Filled with Fun! :D
It started off with a breakfast of French toast.

We were treated to a display of some of God's handy work when these little Finches joined us for breakfast at the Feeder outside our window.

Soon it was a Feeder Full of Finches...

And then I moved too quick and we were treated to a Feeder Full of Frightened Finches and Flying Finches. :D

Here's Phi's F (the big one on the right side of the page, the other one is mine)

We also headed out to Grandpa and Grandma's house to explore their Forest! We found a lot of "F"s there. On the way out we were driving through a school zone and Phi calls from the back seat, "Mom, can we go Faster." :) so we picked an F outta there.

Ferns

Fallen trees

Ferguson and Frozen water.

with ice Formations.

More Fallen trees and Ferns and Frozen water

We then Followed Phi through the Forest to Find Ferguson and Grandma's house.

We were also treated to a Flicker that happened into the Feeder while we were there.

We looked at a book about baby animals that had Fawns and ...

Foxes

That evening after Daddy got home we went and had some Fries...

And Frozen yogurt.

Then after a stop at the pet store we came home with this little guy. A Betta Fish whom we've named Lukey, as that's been a favorite name of Phi's for a while. ( No we are not working up to P is for Puppy, and K is for Kitty, pets are fun but not at this stage in our lives. )

Lukey the Fish swimming happily in his corner. He has been a most easy going little fellow.

We hope we can keep him that way.

We also took some time to go see the Forklift that resides at Daddy's work.

Forklift Full o' boys.

With the Kumon workbooks I ordered, was one for learning tracing. Phi has really enjoyed it, and since we have to write his name at the top of every page he has almost learned to do it on his own. This is his first attempt, I told him which letter to write and he wrote it with out assistance other than the box lines.

The way they have them trace is by going from one object to the next. In the picture below he was to go from one dog to the next which ends him up with a zigzagging line. We've been doing it for almost two weeks and I've found that he can draw words if I make dots in the appropriate places and tell him which way to go. He seems to click with the way they teach in these books so they've been a great addition to our little routine.

For some FUN at the end of our week we headed up for a weekend with Chatty and the Mr.
We made a stop for more Fun at Cabela's in Lacey, WA. (the world's Foremost outfitter)

They have Fish in a huge aquarium.

A little Frontiers man we found.

and these awesome displays of Forest animals (but we'll have to save more of that for another post)

Up at Chatty and the Mr.'s we had Fun, but poor Petra not so much, she wanted to play so bad. :(

Here is our Farm and Fence that we built with Chatty's legos and animals, it even had a Funny little Farmer.

So our verse was: From everlasting, to everlasting, THOU art GOD. Psalms 90:2

We read the parables about the man who had 100 sheep and lost one and went to Find that one sheep, and when he Found it, he brought it home rejoicing to his Friends and neighbors. Also the women who finds the money, Peter finding the money in the Fishes mouth and the disciples who fished all night and caught no fish. We watched a quick Youtube video of some Pink Flamingos. I never had seen them, other than lawn ornaments, they are very unique creatures. Phi was in the bath tub the other day and said he was a Pink Flamingo. We were going to make a blanket Fort but didn't get to that one yet. So on to week G it is.
