Fall is my favorite season! All the beautiful colors and fabulous smells! I got the kids busy yesterday making some centerpieces to go on my shelf. I love the way they turned out!</div>

<b>Materials needed:</b></div>
<ul>
<li>Mason jar (We used the big ones)</li>
<li>Colored rice (We used red, orange and yellow)</li>
<li>Bird seed</li>
<li>Fall colored beads and buttons (Can also use wood beads.)</li>
<li>Fall colored pipe cleaners</li>
<li>Pumpkin pie spice (Makes them smell great!)</li>
</ul>
There are no real instructions. I presented my children with the materials, and let them create. I showed them how to curl the pipe cleaners on their fingers, and it was my idea to put the beads around the top. Echo made hers completely by herself, and I helped Charlie with his. He kept taking everything out of the jar, so at the very end, I dumped it all in and called it good. :) I sprinkled them with pumpkin pie spice to make them smell good. I love the way they look on my shelf. I placed them on on a clear glass plate with some other decorations and some acorns the kids found with my mom. I added two Fall scented candles and it looks perfect!<br />
<br />
Here are some action shots of the kids putting them together. <br />

We're waiting for my neighbor to have her baby, and I have been keeping her toddler for them a lot during the week. It made schooling difficult, with a toddler that just wanted to run around and rip everything off of my shelves, while I was trying to teach. We wound up closing shop for that day. We schooled for one other day, and then were out of the house for a whole day. So this one will be short. I am hoping to get into a better routine in a couple of weeks. Even though it was a rough start, I'll share some pictures that I took. <br />

I love a good bargain! Who doesn't right? I spent part of the afternoon
looking around a local thrift store. I found some amazing items for our
upcoming school year. Here is what I found and how much I paid for it. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Little-People-Wheelies-Rampway/dp/B0045UBG6I/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1376011733&sr=8-9&keywords=wheelies+car+ramp" target="_blank">Car Ramp </a><br />
I paid $3.00 for this. <br />

I paid $7.00<br />

I paid $5.00 and it cam with balls. <br />

<br />
<br />
My grand total was $22.00! Not one of these items is less that $20.00 brand new! My kids love all their new toys, and I love that I got them for so cheap! <br />

Summers in the Northwest are a lot different than summers in the Southwest. They are very short up here. We're getting busy, gearing up to start our new year of homeschool. I hope many people will join us on our journey. Stay tuned for posts on our new school room, set up, and routines.

I don't even know who reads this anymore. I'm going to start blogging again, now that we are getting ready to kick off our school year. I will start by blogging for my benefit, and pray that as people stumble across it, that they will benefit from it to. I have been doing a lot of reading lately on some other blogs, about getting the year started off. I was a little discouraged when I didn't find a single blogger that was starting preschool with no older children in the house. I wanted to read how everything went with them, and try to implement into my system.<br />
<br />
With no bigger children at home, my day looks VERY different. We still have a lot of playtime, and both my children still nap in the afternoon (which is how I have the time to sit here and type all of this out.) We still have diapers, and sippy cups, blankies, and pacifiers. they dont help with house cleaning, well other than making the constant mess for me to clean up. There are no long books being read, or extensive projects that are going on all the time. No legos to be swallowed, no free for all paper to be ripped up. There are meltdowns, and screams, and "I declare a park day" kind of days. So where do I begin?<br />
<br />
We are going to take our first year very slowly. Sparkle was gifted a preschool workbook from her grandma. I plan on going through that with her throughout the year. She is also starting AWANA (Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed) at our church this week. There is a book that she has to work though with lots of scripture memorization. Along with those two things we are going to focus on number and letter recognition. Of course there will be art projects (we LOVE to do art in t his house.), and LOTS of PLAY. I beleive that children learn best through play. For example, yesterday we threw a big green ball back and forth, and every time she threw the ball I would have her say b-b-b-BALL, b-b-b-BOOK and so on. She now knows the sound that the letter "B" makes. :)<br />
<br />
Since my kids are so small (3yr and 17m) we are only going to do school 3 days a week. I'm not sure which days we are going to do, we might change it up each week and do different days each time. I'm just not sure yet.<br />
<br />
So, here we go! Official start day is next Tuesday! I hope you all enjoy the ride as we go through our first year of school. I will share here, the things that I find online that help me, and also share the things that didn't work quite the way I thought they would. I hope you all have as much fun as we will!

A lot of times I will see this in the evening right before bed time. They want to run, or jump. They LOVE to wrestle with daddy in the evenings. I also know they need BIG play when they are leaning on the coffee table and swinging their little feet, or hanging between the coffee table and desk! <br />
<br />
So the other night, I went and gathered all of our pillows, blankets and even the toddler mattress off the floor, and piled them all in the living room. They then get to jump off the couch into the big pile. This is HUGE treat, because it's the only time we let them stand on the couch.<br />

My kids LOVE them! (I kind of like to play with them too.) I just used small plastic Pepsi bottles with the labels removed. You can either glue the lids on or screw them on tightly. I chose not to glue. Below are the bottles that I made. </b><br />

<span style="font-weight: bold;">Cut up straws. At first this one was really neat. I was just putting straws in to make a softer noise. After I did it I realized that if you shale the bottle up the straws stick to the side from static. *Note: after awhile this will stop happening."</span></div>

<span style="font-weight: bold;">Piper cleaners. I don't have the magnet yet, but this one uses a magnet on the outside, to make the pipe cleaners stick to the inside of the bottle. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">The possibilities are truly endless. I also have some bigger ones filled with water and other random things. Ribbon, beads, pom poms, pipe cleaners, buttons. Those are fun b/c some things sink and some float. I made those ones with bigger bottles though, and they are a little heavy, so they don't get played with much. </span></div>

My idea was to make two bins, one for each child. One more messy for my older tot, and one filled with safer things for younger tot. Little did I know that they would have their own plans, and actually prefer to play with the other persons bin.<br />

<span style="font-weight: bold;">They really enjoy them and ask to play with them several times. </span></div>Monkey Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02555120599013235272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095407302698810874.post-50025420629688360142012-04-03T09:07:00.001-07:002012-04-03T09:07:35.697-07:00Spring eggsI set up the stuff last night, so that we could do our spring eggs this morning. Our family doesn't do the traditional Easter stuff that the world does. We celebrate Resurrection Sunday and the Rising of our Lord Jesus Christ, for our salvation. However, I still enjoy the fun things that offered around this time of the year. We choose to call them Spring things, instead of Easter, and do them either week before, or the week after.<br />
<br />
I was asking Sparkle the other day why we colored eggs. She wasn't able to tell me a reason. I didn't think she would have one, being only 2.5, but it's always fun to ask anyways to see what she will come up with. Here is my explanation, if you would like to use something like it while coloring eggs with your children. And it's not going to be word for word what I actually said, (because I don't remember), but it will give you an idea.<br />
<br />
I talked about how all winter long everything is, dark, and grey, and brown. There are no leaves, or pretty flowers. All the pretty birds and bugs are sleeping. But then Spring comes, and all the colors come back out. The grass grows, and the tress have leaves again. The butterflies, bugs and birds are outside again. So we take the white boring eggs, and make them colorful like Spring.<br />
<br />
She really enjoyed doing the eggs this year. This year, we just used store bought dye. Next year, we are planning on using natural dye. <br />

Play dough<br />
<br />
1 C. Flour<br />
1/2 C. Salt<br />
1 T. cream of tartar<br />
1 T. cooking oil<br />
1 C. Water<br />
<br />
Food coloring of your choice.<br />
<br />
Add all dry ingredients to your sauce pan. Stir well. Add oil, and water. Stir together before turning on your heat. Heat over medium heat, stirring CONSTANTLY. Once the play dough pulls away from the sides of the pan and all the wet parts look dry, you can dump it out on the counter. Knead it into a soft ball. Let cool and enjoy. :)<br />
<br />
Tips: When adding a color, just put the food coloring in your cup of water, and stir in at the same time time. This ensures a nice even color (and no mess on your hands). You can also add fun things to your play dough. Like glitter. Just add it to your dry ingredients.<br />
<br />
Seal in an airtight container.<br />

It can be a little messy. If using iver carpet, put a tarp on the floor to catch most of the mess. It sweeps up easy off of tile. :)Monkey Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02555120599013235272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095407302698810874.post-83516086238897603772012-03-02T06:27:00.001-08:002012-03-02T06:27:51.305-08:00New School Zone Set UpI finally got our calendar from Oriental Trading.

<span style="font-weight: bold;">Every Saturday we have been taking the kids to the library. It gives me a chance to get the new books for the next school week, and the kids get to play. We have an awesome new vision center for visually impaired children. It also has a ton of great learning puzzles and games. The Girl loves to sit at a table with Daddy and work the puzzles. </span></div>

She really had fun with this little project. It was super easy to set up. I took yarn and wrapped it around wooden blocks, securing the ends with hot glue. She then dipped them in paint and stamped them onto her paper. It makes a really neat design. <br />

We went over for our weekly lunch with Granny and G-pa. The kids always have so much fun while we are over there. My grandparents each have their own little thing that they say to the kids. The Girl is starting to pick up on them. She tells G-pa, "I want a smack!" (A kiss) And every time Granny hugs her, she gives a little shake and tells her, "I'm gonna shake your buttermilk." When The Girl heard we were going over there, she says, "Gonna see Granny, she gonna shake my buttermilk!"<br />

She loves to put on her apron and pull up a chair to the counter. She's becoming quite the little helper. Always telling me, "No, Mommy, let me dooo it!" "I can do it!" Although for her love of baking, she doesn't really like to eat it. She's not much of a baked goods person. :)<br />
