Q & R

Q is for Quail! We really didn't do anything else for Q, so we combined it with...

R for Rabbit! We also made a Rainbow by going through a bunch of magazines and cut out items of individual colors and then he glued them on in the appropriate areas on the rainbow. He did such a good job at it, and I really like how it turned out. I was expecting it to take just an hour or so, and we ended up doing it in 3 different sessions of 2+ hours each, so be prepared to spend a lot of time on this project! Also, have a lot of magazines on hand - this took about 10 magazines, and towards the end I ran out of Family themed ones and had to switch to fashion magazines, which led me to saying, "No, let's not put bras on our rainbow.." along with a bunch of other.. "adult" themed items..lol.

Wow, were really behind with our posting. Hopefully I can catch us up a litle bit today. For P day, we made a Penguin and read the book "Penguins, Penguins Everywhere!". I also came across this yummy recipe for Peanut Butter Patties over at Glamour Moms. Click on her link below to go see it - I strongly recommend it! It sounded like quite a bit of icing, though, so we cut the recipe in half for the filling part and still had some left over, so unless you like a lot of frosting, you could probably do the same!

Last, Jasey has been really interested in photography lately - he always wants to use my camera and go around the house and take pictures of everything that he can. Since it was P Day, we went on a walk to the Park and I let him take the camera along to work on his Photography. Below is a collection of what he has picked out to be his best pictures.

Yesterday's (2nd) letter of the day was ..

O! Since we combined 2 letters in the same day, not many other exciting O activities happened.

Also since we did N and O on the same day, I combined all the books we read onto the same carousel. Ignore the "Q" sound box - it was the closest Amazon would let me get to an "O" ;)

N

Yesterday's letter was..

N! Can you tell what our letter is? We had to get pretty creative this week, but Jase is really having a lot of fun adding new elements to his letters lately! He's really doing good at all of his letters now, so we will probably pick up the pace and start doing at least 2 a day - especially when they are easy letters like O (which I will post in just a minute!).

If you've never been over to her site before, you should really check out Katie's Nesting Spot - we just won one of her giveaways for Chiquita smoothies and we are so excited, especially since I would have purchased this item either way, now we get a couple for free! Check our her blog at:

Yesterday's letter of the day was..

M! (oops! We are a little late in posting!) We "stole" this idea directly from -

so I gotta give them credit for how well it turned out!.

We've never shown a picture of it, but we're taking all of our letters and making them into a border along the wall - here's how it's coming.

Halfway done!!!

For M day, Jasey made Muffins all by himself! All I did was Measure the Milk and put it in the oven when he was done - he stirred it all up and scooped them out into each cup - I didn't have to assist him at all! I was sure a proud Mommy!

Mmmmm!

Here's the books that we've read most recently -

"Marshmallow" wasn't at all what I was expecting, and was definitely too long to keep Jasey's interest the entire time. He really seemed to enjoy "K is for Kissing a Cool Kangaroo", however, and since it covers the entire alphabet, we can read it anyday that we want! Of course, we still have the favorites on hand and read them over and over and over.
