The boys are playing Upward Soccer at Biltmore Baptist Church this year. Charlie really likes it but Brayden is still not quite sure about it. He could be so good if he would just get over his shyness and just play. We like Upward because it is laid back and non-competitive and they do Bible stories and Verses with the kids.

Finally--A routine
With C. now in kindergarten and B only going to preschool 3 days a week B and I have finally gotten into a routine. We just finished our first week of preschool at home. We are using the Raising Rock Stars curriculum from here.
This week we worked on the letter Ll and the sight word see. The curriculum works on the number one for this week but B. knows all his numbers to 10 and he can count to 14 so we have been working recognizing the number 11.
B worked on his fine motor skills.
He painted with water colors the candle that went with this weeks Bible Verse
then he glued the verse to the paper.
He read the I see book from Raising Rock Stars. He loved this book and read it to me about 50 times. I can't believe I did not get a picture of him reading it.
He worked on the sight word see by using do-a-dots to trace the word.
He played a lot with his stacking alphabet blocks.
He matched up upper case letters to lower case letters using the Eric Carle game that we found at Barnes and Noble.
He spent a lot of time playing with his Little People Farm and his moon dough farm set.
He did an L is for lion page from Making Learning Fun.
He made a lighthouse out of a capital L. This idea came from here.
He practiced writing his name. I wrote in on a piece of construction paper with green dots showing where to begin and red dots showing where to end. Then he traced it with a blue crayon.
He made a lady bug using a lower case L as the center of the body,
This idea came from here.
We had a great week. We are planning on working on the letter Aa next week and have lots of yummy apples to eat.

Smoky Mountain Vacation and hike
We took a spur of the moment last minute mini vacation to the Great Smoky Mountains for several days. We began our trip with a picnic.
Then we hiked to Grotto Falls. It was a little over a 3 mile round trip and the boys walked the whole way. They loved it and they did so great. They loved the waterfall and they wanted to play in the water but it was very cold. The had a great time.
The next day we did some shopping and then headed to the Wilderness of the Smokies hotel and water park where we spent two days playing in the water and riding slide after slide after slide. When we finally left on Wednesday afternoon boy did we have two tired little boys.
