February Memories

Sometimes, this is how Sunday mornings look right before we walk out the door to church!

The guilty one would be the one standing up.

Somebody snuck out to the music room for some sleep while Mom and Dad were watching a movie one evening.

Our school theme during the month of February was "hearts and love." Here, the boys are learning to graph colors with Sweetheart candies.

We also played pattern games that were a big hit!

I love to see the boys' creativity come alive in so many ways. Here, Isaac built a car ramp from a piece of cardboard box and then set up his cars in a very orderly fashion to be able to pick ones to race.

Sensory play with shaving cream before making some very cool heart-garland-decorations!

Messy is so fun!

Next, the boys used pipettes to drop colored water onto the shaving cream.

Then, they swirled it all together with a plastic knife.

Finally, we dipped card stock paper into the shaving cream and scraped off the excess. (Here, we also have paintings with homemade heart stamps drying on the counter.)

The marble art of colored shaving cream.

Once the marbled papers dried, we cut them out into heart shapes and laced them together for a garland. I was really impressed with this activity!

Nathan's special breakfast that he made for the family. Heart-shaped pancake-muffins!

Enjoying some chocolate-avocado pudding!

Sensory sink fun...what's not to love about red water, bubbles, foam hearts and circles, and various water toys???

A sensory rice and beans bucket is always a hit! Here, Isaac and Josiah played a "find the alphabet" game with puzzle pieces in the rice.

Matching heart candies to the number of hearts on cards.

Making stickered alphabet letters.

We had a fun time with our Young Families group from church in February! Here are some of them in intense competition using straws and candy hearts for a game we played!
