Egypt...

Ira wrote a book today... She even threaded the side herself.
















I absolutely LOVE it.

Monday!

What a great day!

Ira challenged liv to a game while I may lunch.






Emers loooooves bubbles....






There was painting....






Ira read me a couple books. There is nothin cooler than your baby reading to you. I mean, the baby that's about to turn 6!






We walked to the park when Jared got home...

Emers and his love of flowers.... Flowers and ducks. Those are the two thugs that he gets the most excited about. As we walk along the water he makes this quacking noise. So cute...




















Liv the spinning ballerina....






Park...



























I think they love each other...













Then we came home and Ira worked 5 pages of "explode the code". She is really amped up to learn to read to play scrabble with me on the iPad. Or words with friends with her aunt in Vegas.

Sunday

After feeling sick for a few days, the little ones got rowdy today!

This is the first time they played together for this long without Ira orchestrating. Emers is really getting old!














"what mama? I can't rip all these things down?"





Ira is still sick... She laid around and watched movies. Then came out and worked 18 pages in her phonics book and a couple pages in "explode the code".

She is really reading now. Sounding out words and figuring it all out. So cool to watch.

Friday!

We went to the park and met new friends! It was sunny and warm and I forgot my phone in the car. Not used to having a car during the day!!!

Car wash!


Olive and Cedric fell asleep...Ira pretended to be scared...


Then we went to the craft store!!!!!

Faerie house and centaur!


Stickers to add to their collection!


Emers has a new "thing". To be super silly he flops to the ground and laughs and rolls around.








Water guns!

















Heart shaped sidewalk chalk!





Painting....





Snacking...


Purple yogurt! Ira always complains that she can't have colored sugar sweetened yogurt. I bought some food dyes that are made from food an spices and we sweetened our Greek yogurt with honey.

This girl was in heaven. I don't know why I didn't think of that sooner!





Ira has also been learning to read. So now liv is wanting to.... Liv and I worked on these words...


And ira read me this book! It's so cool to have my child read ME books!


She worked 5 pages in "explode the code".


I was holding off on teaching her to read because I am a waldorf leaning person. I believe academics should wait until the child is ready. Ira started getting her 6 year molars and then lost her front teeth and them BOOM- she demands to be taught to read. So I guess she I ready!

Regardless. It's cool. Watching it all click is fun.
