Week L

Week L we've Learned a Lot! It took a little while to get going with the week and then by the end we nearly didn't finish every thing we thought of.
Our L in writing.

We made Loaves of bread...

mini Loaves to make it more special.

We fed Lukey (something we do every day not just this week ) :)

We had Lots of Laughs with this Little man around, pulling himself up on everything and thinking he's big stuff!

We got Licorice.

And made a Licorice L.

We measured things to see how Long they were.

For a craft we did finger print Ladybugs. Something we got off the Illinois state web site and have been saving for this week. Two red finger prints made with finger paint and then when it's dry you draw in the extras with a black marker.

We also had lettuce, something Phi actually thinks is quite good. How he came up with that idea I know not?!

And around the house we had Loads of Laundry! As you can see it's getting bad enough to gobble up the little men. Actually they were pretending they were falling off a mountain. Ha! I think it's time to fold some Laundry!

Here's how Phi "folds" a face clothe,

Deep concentration,

and ta-da. Guess I should start keeping them in a basket so this method would work. :D

We also made a Lego L, which is hollow down the middle because...

It becomes a Lane to drive cars down. Oops!

We read our very cute Lamb story and our Lady bug counting book. and played follow the Leader. The boys Loved that one and wanted to do it every day since Mommy did whatever Phi did!

Our verse : Love one another as I have loved you... John 15:12

We sang "this Little Light of mine"

And studied some of the Life of our Lord Jesus while he was here in this world.

For Animals we learned a little about Lions, Lambs, Leopards, Lemurs and Llamas.

We talked about Legs and Lips, and also some opposites as there are tons of them that start with L.
Left vs. Right
Little vs. Big
Low vs. High
Long vs. Short
Less vs. More
Loud vs. Quiet (Leroy's favorite cause we whispered "quiet".)
Last vs. First
Light vs. Dark
Large vs. Small

I am never sure how much is sinking in but was encouraged when Phi came up with all on his own, " Does cousin Laura start with L?"

Some laughs from the week,

Phi from the back of the van playing with Jeffy:

"My little brothers cute!" ( I think he heard someone else say that one.)

Leroy, as we were driving in the country was looking out the window informing us what he was seeing. Most of it was normal things like "blue trucks" and "boats" and such like until we came to a horse. "Elephant", he bellows from the back, "Deer"! We laugh. Then we come to the Emu farm, "Chickadee"!

We wanted to go to a Lake but never got that far, anything close around here is no more than a pond. And so we March on to Week M. Thanks for the ideas Gwynne!
