Week K

Edit: Kate we did not forget you, only A. Sjo did in my hurry to get the posting done before something else came up. In looking for a suitable picture tho' I don't have any recent ones (had to snitch this one off you guys blog). That means it's been too long since we've gotten to see you all!! Shall have to remedy that soon.

Week K, we've become more Knowledgeable, (though we didn't actually cover these "Kn" words because they're too confusing for now.) We did learn about Kangaroos, Kittens and Koala Bears on Youtube. Kangaroos are the strangest things, they seem to be to Australia what deer are to the NW. Interesting critters. An FYI, if you want to see them on Youtube put in Baby Kangaroos or you get lots of Kangaroos boxing.

On the menu was some Special K cereal,

Kiwi's! Kiwi Apple "salad" was great.

And Kidney Beans, on Nachos, yum!
Kabobs would have been lovely but this is a hard time of year for them. Besides the fact that I didn't think of them ( thx A. Deb) before I went shopping for the week.

Here is our written K

And Leroy wanted to try writing too so he did these A's with a little help on which way to go. I don't plan on starting him now, though he does get in on much of what we do. I hope to do it again with him next Fall/Winter and get more detailed with Phi. Anyway...

We "helped" in the Kitchen (thx A. Ruth 2b! ;)
He doesn't do Knives, ever, so this was a novelty.

Opening cans, with help.

Our project was a Kite, though not a flying one cause I wasn't up for that challenge and we don't have anywhere in our yard to fly one. Besides, we had rain almost the whole week. Tho' some beautiful sunshine peeked out on Thursday and again on Saturday and made me realize how little we've seen it in the last few months!

So we started with this K

and then tried the fun glue-on-tissue-paper-bits-with-a-pencil trick.

It worked great! You can even see our lovely peep of sunshine in the background. :)

Things around the house were Keys and Kindness tho' the latter took some work. ;)

Bible stories were the Parables of the Kingdom and then King David being anointed and showing Kindness to Mephiboseth.

Our verse: Be ye Kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as GOD, in CHRIST has forgiven you. Eph. 4:32

We couldn't think of a K song tho' I'm sure I just didn't try hard enough.

Some funny quotes from the week:

At lunch the boys have been occasionally giving thanks for the food when Daddy isn't there.
One afternoon we sat up to the table and I asked who would like to give thanks?

Phi:" Unuh."
Leroy: "You do it."
Phi: "You git to be the thanker today"

After prayer we're looking out the window at the squirrel having it's lunch in the feeder.

Phi: "Did he close his eyes?"
Me: "When?"
Phi: "When we prayed??"

So we Launch into week L! ;)
