Fish Fingers

We made Fish from Fingerprints to learn more about the letter F today. The Punk pressed his fingerprints in the watered down paint to make the water and a few goldfish, and Mommy added the fish details (fins, eyes and tails). I saw a similar idea here, and added it to our Art Wall (which is somehow becoming an Alphabet Wall with all of our letter projects!). The letter we printed was from here, and then we backed it with construction paper before hanging it to dry.

just want to Do SOMEfing!

We have been ill. Very ill. Well, the Punk was ill first, then shared his illyness with us (how thoughtful). Now the Punk is on the mend and the grown ups feel terrible. Bronchitis to be exact. Meh. The Punk is done with all this "stay at home and get better" business. He "just wants to DO SOMEfing!". And that makes us feel even worse. 7+ days of being house bound (except for the occasional store trip for more Nyquil) isn't the wonderful Spring Time a 3 year old looks forward to. So we have been going outside to play in the sandbox for a few days, and today I managed to bust out the paints. The Punk was overjoyed to be getting messy and creative again. We really need to get back in the swing of things and do a little school time each morning. Sick or not, the Punk craves learning. After the craft we had a peanut butter sandwich for lunch (and talked about how much Elephants love Peanuts). Then before rest time we read The Saggy Baggy Elephant.
