For Family Home Evening, we talked about Weeds in our life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Weeds of contention, Weeds of behaviors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We talked about how our family is a garden, and we need to get the weeds out of our life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We talked about how weeds can suffocate plants, and our lives.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, we went out to the front yard, and took care of the weeds.</div>

A while ago, I was cleaning out my craft room and found these foam letters.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can't remember why I bought them, but my daughters have begged to use them on their "projects."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, that is what we did today! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
My little one would pick a letter, say it out loud, and then stick it on someone's paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYAoAFQRgh29P1a1FV9E1CtvEbMpvqvrDcuoDBxjNXPjtBLEE9hDpQb0RVWNNJiCh6lbsg89efG_9EY_skOtNcC9mKsKvR9irlZa1a6uIK27xDu4jmSp1jlAjkxMRG4paoWniw4Jng-T8/s1600/72.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYAoAFQRgh29P1a1FV9E1CtvEbMpvqvrDcuoDBxjNXPjtBLEE9hDpQb0RVWNNJiCh6lbsg89efG_9EY_skOtNcC9mKsKvR9irlZa1a6uIK27xDu4jmSp1jlAjkxMRG4paoWniw4Jng-T8/s1600/72.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then that kid would have to write 2 words that start with that letter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We did it until the paper was filled up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
For my older son, I gave him a letter and he would have to come up with an alliteration for that letter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He did 10 sentences and we called it good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just another way to stretch their minds, get their hands writing, and enjoy their imaginations!</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Something that is fun, and makes you "write" without thinking about it is LETTER WRITING!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First I printed out <a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9JiLa0h2lqKNjU0YjQ4NTctNGJiMC00NDNiLWI5ZmQtZDA0N2ZkNGFhOWNl/edit?hl=en">Parts of Letter Writing from HERE</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and my gals colored it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaTzzvBYJzXlC3OZRTDcWsLEuSzgQ3ioKqd-brHJjSeBdSIQifSWEaCnnj_4wJLTBaPYjl6kpPW5sxdYtQGTDi4d-en1cjK2yzhbnWIy-L4KlKpXyI7RuwFymNhEUzNKDcEv3KERJGrzE/s1600/65.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaTzzvBYJzXlC3OZRTDcWsLEuSzgQ3ioKqd-brHJjSeBdSIQifSWEaCnnj_4wJLTBaPYjl6kpPW5sxdYtQGTDi4d-en1cjK2yzhbnWIy-L4KlKpXyI7RuwFymNhEUzNKDcEv3KERJGrzE/s1600/65.jpg" height="212" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we talked about it a little bit more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV0Q-sGrcjuM92evTLNNNH1Ctz0V7oNXQnYTO-bPziw5XUNo64F7QDHdL4XEaxvdhi8dTwXgL0CUcS6yu3H-oqZ0KkEPP6dAI5XP8E2lKEP3kxlTPWmpbDVKLxY-6l52pJWYUFRXPLxoQ/s1600/66.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV0Q-sGrcjuM92evTLNNNH1Ctz0V7oNXQnYTO-bPziw5XUNo64F7QDHdL4XEaxvdhi8dTwXgL0CUcS6yu3H-oqZ0KkEPP6dAI5XP8E2lKEP3kxlTPWmpbDVKLxY-6l52pJWYUFRXPLxoQ/s1600/66.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then they wrote to a Disney Princess of their choice. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Except my son. He wrote to his Auntie.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we ran out to the mailbox. Each kid had 2 letters each.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My son started cursive in May and is really enjoying it. I think I am the only person who still uses cursive, who is under the age of 35. Haha.</div>

Have you heard of <a href="http://www.superhealthykids.com/">Super Healthy Kids</a>?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided <a href="http://www.superhealthykids.com/healthy-kids-recipes/crispy-baked-chimichangas.php">this recipe</a> would be perfect for my 5 year old to make for family dinner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a few tweaks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Instead of doing double beans I swapped the black beans for left over chicken and added green chilies to the chicken. Because of the chilies I nixed the salsa. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My kids were big fans, and we will be having them again.</div>

My 5 year old did EVERYTHING except put in the oven, and take out of the oven.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is HER recipe:</div>
<div class="usda_instructions" style="background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #404040; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">
<ul class="ingredients" style="list-style-image: url(http://www.superhealthykids.com/img/bullet.png);">
<li class="ingredient">6 tortillas<br /><em class="notes"></em></li>
<li class="ingredient">1 egg white<br /><em class="notes"></em></li>
<li class="ingredient"><span class="amount">1 can</span> r<span class="name">efried beans (fat-free or mashed pinto beans)</span><em class="notes"></em></li>
<li class="ingredient"><span class="amount">1 can El Pato Salsa de Chile Fresco</span></li>
<li class="ingredient">2 tsp Oil<br /><em class="notes"></em></li>
<li class="ingredient">Shredded Cheese</li>
<li class="ingredient">Desired Toppings: Lettuce, Tomato, Cilantro, Salsa, Sour Cream, Plain Yogurt</li>
</ul>
<br />
Add egg whites to a bowl and mix with whisk.<br />
Add beans to the middle of your tortilla, and sprinkle with cheese.<br />
Begin folding your tortilla. Start with one side and fold up an inch and then fold sides and then add more egg white where you make the last fold.<br />
Flash-fry chimis by placing in a pan of 2 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Heat on both sides for 1 minute until golden brown. Place chimichangas onto a pan covered in foil, seam-side down.<br />
Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
My kids love to be involved in the kitchen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How about yours?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgafYszBHHb2Bj_05wSnlSqfhtUDBI4ov-KeO1TAYhwNE684YDSf-1IkwDJXbgeP8W4Svtco9q2dx_56O-P1Fi0pccvhhN1jPauR-zcTVczptWxeqBBj7Us2XPkOBCEsFdVem5SIfReeis/s1600/47.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgafYszBHHb2Bj_05wSnlSqfhtUDBI4ov-KeO1TAYhwNE684YDSf-1IkwDJXbgeP8W4Svtco9q2dx_56O-P1Fi0pccvhhN1jPauR-zcTVczptWxeqBBj7Us2XPkOBCEsFdVem5SIfReeis/s1600/47.jpg" height="400" width="266" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This week, I have 4 simple ideas to get your kids in the kitchen with minimal mess.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">First up, Scrambled Eggs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My oldest will be 8 next month and I thought he should be able to handle scrambled eggs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
***</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In my house during the school year, I have designated days for breakfasts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Monday and Friday is cold cereal</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tuesday is Eggs (in some form) and toast</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wednesday is Oatmeal, Cream of Wheat, Cracked Wheat, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or the like (my 6 year old says Porridge) usually served with fruit and milk</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thursdays is Muffins (which I make the night before)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Saturday is Daddy's Breakfast (usually fancy pancakes)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sunday we have a Fun Breakfast for dinner so the morning is usually bagels or cereal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This helps get good food into my kids, and helps us not go through 12 boxes of cereal a week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because my husbands favorite thing is cereal. He even eats it for dessert sometimes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I am confident that my 6.5 year old could make scrambled eggs as well.<br />
But, my almost 8 year old would like to try to make them regularly for the family. So here's what he did.<br />

I usually have a plate near the eggs for the cracked ones to go. </div>

I usually make all eggs with oil instead of butter. They fry up better, in my opinion.</div>

I drew circles in M&M colors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wrote a number in each circle and my 3 year old had to put the right color and number in each circle.</div>

This was very simple and you could do it with skittles, or jujubees, or any colored candy!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The kids did their morning routine, and then came downstairs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since this activity is not for all ages, I had two games prepared.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found these Math games via my son's teacher. You can print them<a href="http://serenadetosecondgrade.blogspot.com.au/2011/08/math-games-galore.html"> HERE</a> from <a href="http://serenadetosecondgrade.blogspot.com.au/">Serenade to Second Grade</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since I will have a 3rd grader and a 1st Grader, I thought this would be a fun game to kick start our summer.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They loved this game, and eventually added 2 decks to this stack.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I taught them how to play <a href="http://www.pagat.com/war/war.html#two">WAR</a>.</div>

I made some Labels for the Activities we are going to do with the kids this summer. You can download them <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B82mNMLANvPJN0V1dDdCWURpXzA/edit?usp=sharing">HERE</a>. Most of the fonts are from an old <u>Creative Lettering</u> book, written by: <a href="http://beckyhiggins.com/">Becky Higgins</a>. I used her fonts because my kids could color them, AND they are so adorable!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;">After I printed them out, we colored them, cut them, and laminated them.</span><br />
<br />
Right now they are in a box, waiting for MONDAY, and the activities that awaits my kids.<br />
<br />
In the past, I have been over scheduled (I know, I know) and it was too much on them and me, and it became unfun/hard. I had a husband in school full time, and work full time, and a preemie on therapy, that it was too hard to do my regimented, timed, activities.<br />
<br />
For instance from 9-10 Art Time. Well, if we had sick kids and it didn't happen that day I would feel "behind" in our day. That would stress me out, and then it became a mad dash to squeeze everything in for the day. So this year, with 3 kids going to Full Time School in the Fall, and 2 toddlers...I decided to revamp my summer program with my babes.<br />
<br />
Instead of <span style="color: red;">over-schooling</span> them in the summer, I have devised <span style="color: blue;">simple-quick, educational activities</span> to keep them engaged through out the summer, while still letting them be kids. Because lets face it, that is just what they are...KIDS!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">I am calling this Summer: <span style="color: red;">SBBK</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: red;">S</span>ummer <span style="color: red;">B</span>oredom <span style="color: red;">B</span>usters for <span style="color: red;">K</span>ids</span><br />
<br />
We talked about what we are going to do over the summer.<br />
I decided that the labels we worked on together, will be hidden each day, so they can figure out what we are doing, and get excited about it! We will do <span style="color: orange;">one activity in the morning</span>, and <span style="color: magenta;">one in the afternoon</span>.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">What?</span><br />
<br />
EXAMPLE: I will hide the Geography sign somewhere in the house.<br />
Once they find it, that will let them know what we are working on for that day.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">They will get dressed, eat breakfast, and then clean their rooms, clean their teeth and faces, etc. </span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">before we do activity #1.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">This helps me get my stuff together while they are busily getting ready for the day.</span><br />
<br />
Since I hid the label the night before, I can decide on what we are going to do, and pre-prep it for the following day ahead of time. (no scrambling around for me!)<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Once the kids are ready, I will have that item ready on the kitchen table, or art table, and wait for everyone to be ready. I will explain the rules, and the how to's there and then let them have at it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">After that activity, we will discuss (if needed), then clean up, and then they have free time or whatever we need to do for that day (ex. grocery shopping, or laundry, most likely laundry)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">After lunch and naps/quiet time, we will regroup at the table and do activity #2 (same label)</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">We will discuss, have afternoon snack and then free time or what ever we need to finish for that day.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">(ex. pick up toy room, make dinner, do dishes, most likely dish mountain)</span><br />
<br />
This is how I am planning that our summers will go.<br />

My intention was to work on lowercase letters, but this bunch of cuties preferred to copy the letters.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, that is what we did.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found these:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We put them in a BIG pile and then I passed them out. They lined them up on my sheets and wrote the letter under. After they wrote the letter, they got to eat the gummi letter!</div>

Magnet Letters!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cheap Small Cookie Sheets and a Tub of These <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Smethport-5330-Foam-Magnets-Letters/dp/B001ECI9EM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1380146480&sr=8-1&keywords=magnet+letters">Foam Letters</a> is all you need.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I chose foam because it is quiet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

First I let them free play. Then we sorted by color.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we spelled our names. I made cards for them to copy the order of their names. We practiced first, middle, and last names. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sometimes we use these for Sunday centers. Sometimes we use these for quiet time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have even used them for spelling words.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another fun activity that costs less than $16 for years of playtime.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another use for these Magnets is match the sound to the letter game.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"This letter says Oooh" </div>

Tot School/Preschool Activity</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Need help recognizing and writing the alphabet? How about your child's name? Here is a perfect activity!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I prewrote the Alphabet (you can write their name) and have the kids paint with Q-Tips each letter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a great activity that is little mess, and it is controlled.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It helps with pencil grip, name recognition, and focusing!</div>

My 2 year old loved this activity as well. There are so many words you could have them paint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last name, sight words, spelling words, capitals, lowercases, etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have fun with it and enjoy the quiet focused time with your kiddo! </div>

So, my sister and I constantly battle over which is better. Goldfish (fishies) or Cheez-Its.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love Cheeze-Its. Always have. In fact, there isn't a grocery list I have made that hasn't had them on there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, they are $1.00 a box last week and I bought 20 of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, 20 of them. It is true, I am obsessed.</div>
