My Pretty Kitchen :)

Since we were starting school with Casey B. we decided to deep clean and reorganize the kitchen a little. 
I've been collecting a fun collection of green, blue and salmon colored kitchen products and I just love how they look all together so I had to take pictures and share! 
It is so fun to be in the kitchen and we spend most of our time there since school started. 
 
We finally figured out a way to set up the kitchen table so that we can eat meals at the table which is nice and fun. Hopefully this way we can instill in the kids even better table manners :)  

B is for Batman

Here is CaseyB.'s "B is for Batman" drawing just in case anyone was curious. :) He drew everything in the picture himself accept the first Batman word and the stickers of course :) 9/16/08

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!

Casey B. started his first day of Preschool Monday, September 8th and he has been having tons of fun ever since. 

He loves to do his workbook pages and often adds his own related embellishments. I like to encourage his additions since I feel they add to his understanding of the subject and to the fun. A couple of days ago we were working on the letter "S" and Casey B. drew a big beautiful rainbow colored snake in the middle of the page. Yesterday he realized as we were working on the letter "B" that it was the letter that began the name "Batman" so of course he had to do an art project on the subject... focusing on "B" of course.

Casey B. seems to like school enough to be sad when we have to miss a day because of illness or other circumstances. Luckily we haven't missed much and it's nice to know that he really enjoys and looks forward to school with Mommy! :)

I have set up our school station in the kitchen and as we are learning the Alphabet, counting to 20 (so far) or doing flash cards Charis loves to sit at the kitchen table coloring, doing ABC puzzles and participating when she feels she can. 

Charis is also learning some basic colors, shapes and how to use the potty. She has gone a few times on her own so far, Yay!!!

We all do music, dancing, and fun activities together. So far everyone is having fun!

First Blog

Well I liked Daulina's Blog so much that I decided to try one of my own... I know Casey has a really cool family web site in his head but until it is a reality I will just use this one.

I thought I would start by writing this first note and then when I have time I will post some cute picts :)
