Carson and his "pretty girlfriend", Anna (or so he says)They're gluing pictures of food into their shopping cart. I had set up the family room
like a grocery store, having the food in sections such as Dairy, Meat, Bakery, etc.
They each had a strip of paper ("shopping list") with 5 colored dots on it
(blue, green, purple, white, etc) and had to race to find
one food item that color for their cart.

We had several other fun activities, including reading "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" and everything it ate. Then we played the corresponding board game to see who could become a butterfly first. I'm surprised by how much I've enjoyed Joyschool. Not that I thought I'd dislike it, but I wondered if it would be a ton of work and if it would be mass chaos. Thankfully, the kids are all incredibly well-behaved and so adorable, so anxious to learn, that it's been a blast!We wrapped up our "Food" chapter with a field trip to the local grocery store. The kids loved having a "behind-the-scenes" look at how it all operates!
Wyatt loves his Grandma B. (LaRee). Or actually, "adores" may be a better word. He thinks she hung the moon and is so good to her. He's gentle and loving, patient and complimentary. He goes out of his way to make her feel special and loved. He's sensitive to her feelings, and always ALWAYS remembers her in family prayers. One day he decided he wanted to write a story about a little girl named LaRee who loved her cats and horses. He even asked for illustrations from the computer he could color. Once he'd finished his masterpiece, he put it in a manilla envelope and asked if we could mail it to her.
