We just got home from our vacation to Disney World on Saturday night.  My plan was to get back into our projects and “school” this week.  I have things planned and ready to go.  But, instead everyone is sick.  While we were on vacation last week Rich started feeling sick on Wednesday and felt awful on Thursday.  On Thursday Hailey started sounding all congested and acting whiny.  Then on Friday night I started sneezing getting all congested too.  You’d think by today I’d feel better, but I’m actually feeling worse.  So, my plan is now to take it easy for the next few days until Hailey and I are both feeling better.  We’ll try to get a few activities in but for the most part I think we’ll be relaxing and getting better.  If you’d like- you can check out our vacation pictures over on my personal blog- Livin’ With Me.  I’ll be adding pictures all week.

We are finally done with the alphabet!  Woo Hoo!  Here is our last project- we made a Z is for Zebra which we saw over at No Time for Flashcards.

Here’s what you’ll need: construction paper, letter Z, a zebra head, some black stripes, glue.

Glue some stripes onto the Z.

Add a head.

The completed Z for Zebra.

When we get back from our vacation we are going to get back into doing a lot more activities- we are going to go through the alphabet again and have more theme related activities.  Check back next week for some new activities.

We are almost done with the alphabet!!  I can’t believe it has taken us a year to get through 26 letters.  That whole moving thing really put us behind.  Anyhoo- this week we did the letter Y- and used an idea I saw over at No Time for Flashcards.  We made a Y for Yellow.

You’ll need paper, glue and as many yellow things as you can find.

Color the letter Y with crayons, markers and colored pencils.

Glue on lots of yellow things- we used pipe cleaner, pom poms, torn up paper, torn up tissue paper, feathers, and some yellow foam.

Cover up the Y and let the glue dry.

Our completed Y is for Yellow.
