Catching Up

It's been way too long in between posts and while I know I don't have a huge reader base, I mainly like to keep my blog up-to-date as a sort of scrap book.  Branna and Atlie have enjoyed looking back at themselves over the years and it's fun for me, too. :)
Since there has been so much in between posts and I really don't even know where to begin to catch up, I'm going to make a quick list of accomplishments and then do a "look" at each of the girls.

As of June 2014:
--We finished Branna's 1st grade year!
--Branna read so many books this year, including most of the Magic Tree House series.  She also loved the Magic Puppy series, The Boxcar Children, and Shel Silverstein poems.
--Atlie has been reading some and we're looking forward to continuing that, as well as handwriting.
--Aisley is talking up a storm and is saying 2 and 3 and sometimes 4 word sentences. There's hardly a word she doesn't know!


Branna's favorites:
Color: green
Activity: Taekwondo (she's currently on her gold belt and will test for orange soon).  Branna also enjoys drawing and writing.  She also just bought her first guitar and is really excited to learn how to play.  She earned her money through selling her books and lemonade sales, not to mention birthday money.
Food: Branna's a very picky eater, so it's really hard to say.  I think she might say anything without cheese.



Atlie's favorites:
Color: She says that all the colors are her favorite, but she always leans towards pink and sparkles.
Activity: Atlie loves anything outdoors, especially catching bugs or snails.  She also enjoys drawing, coloring, and looking through books
Food: Atlie is just the opposite of Branna.  She loves just about everything, especially cheese.


Aisley's favorites:
Color: It seems to be yellow...
Activity: Anything her big sisters are doing.  She wants to get right in on the action with them.  However, she also loves to sing.  Her 2 favorite songs are "Let It Go" from Frozen and "Twinkle Twinkle".
Food: Mac and cheese.  Aisley likes most foods and I hope it stays that way!

Atlie

Atlie wrote her name for the first time this week! And it was a good attempt, if I do say so myself!

Cold weather... Again!

This winter has been unbelievable! It's been colder than usual and on top of that, we've had several days of winter precipitation. (I think the weather man said 7!) So, what do you do when life gives you sleet? You eat icicles!

Snow Day

We actually got a little bit if snow & sleet this year! Although the MayHouse school didn't get an official day off from school, The girls did enjoy getting to play outside in between lessons.  One coincidental lesson Ilanned was Snowman Sight Word and Math game. Atlie enjoyed getting in on the action by rolling the dice and coloring in the corresponding sum.  Branna is such an awesome reader she had no problem winning the game!



Cinderella

I have posted before about how much Atlie loves Cinderella, and especially dressing up like Cinderella. So, I thought it would fun for Atlie to make a Cinderella lap book. She really enjoyed it and especially liked the fold put book with her name.
