I love coupons. They really do save our family a ton of money. This past week has been extremely busy. So many good deals going on. I know some of you always like to know my total savings, so here it is for the last week and a half.

And I have our stockpile back up on a lot of things we had used! :)

The Letter D
Two weeks ago we learned about the Letter D. It was a fun week. We even got to spend an evening with the Caines' family (Philip and Sarah's). We haven't really done anything this week, except hunting and dying eggs (will post pictures later). Here are some pictures from 2 weeks ago.
We read "Danny and the Dinosaur" and played a dinosaur game for matching up letters. 
The girls are coloring the dog part of their headbands. We read "Go Dog, Go!" and "Big Dog, Little Dog"
The headbands!
We also made Doughnuts. The girls love to cook!
Enjoying some doughnut holes.
One our doughnuts.
That is all I have for now. I hope you all had a wonderful two weeks.

Victoria's 3rd Birthday!
On Monday, March 15th, Victoria turned 3 years old. I still can't believe it. She is truly a blessing to Stewart and myself (so is Elizabeth). Here are some pictures from her party (on the 14th) and her birthday.
In my family, it is tradition that you get to take a bite out of your birthday cake. (Don't worry, you get the piece you bit).

Victoria holding up 3 fingers and eating cake!
I had a few more really cute pictures I was going to put up, but for some reason the image loader is freezing up, so these pictures will have to do. We started a new tradition this year. We are going to mark the girls height on their closet door every birthday! And I wanted to thank our family and friends that made it such a great birthday for her by celebrating with us. She had a great birthday.
I love this picture of Elizabeth, she is so funny.

The Letter C and lots more
This has been a busy week for us. Victoria made the move from crib to her big girl bed. She is loving it. We learned the sound for the letter C, played outside a fair amount, and played board games (Candyland and Memory were the favorites this week). Stewart got to go to the ACC tournament on Thursday. Elizabeth tried learning to ride the tricycle, Victoria went to her first dance class, and I made Victoria a Little Einsteins Rocket cake for her birthday party (will show the pictures after we have her party tomorrow).
The girls really discovered all the fun to be had on their chalkboard this week. One day, they drew on it for almost 2 hours. Victoria has started asking about what one number plus another one is. So I let her pick the numbers- say 4 and 3. Then we write the math problem and draw that many of stars (or something) and let her get the answer. The chalkboard is great for that.
For the Letter C, we read "The Cat and the Hat." We did looks of games and activities with this book. Here Victoria is matching the hats and bowties by color. I found this at: http://makinglearningfun.com/themepages/CatintheHatPrintables.htm 
Coloring a Cat and the Hat picture. 
Victoria playing basketball and Elizabeth trying to ride the tricycle. We had wonderful weather this week. 
Having fun with Play-doh.

Just Getting Started
The girls and I have recently started having "school" almost everyday. They love it. Victoria is always asking to do "school." We are working on our Alphabet. Victoria knows all the letters, but not all the sounds. This week we are on letter C. But I figured I would post some pictures from are other letters and activities as well.
Victoria and Elizabeth coloring the Alligator pieces to make their puppets with. We read "There's an Alligator Under My Bed" by: Mercer Mayer.
Playing on Starfall.com with Ignas.
Today we worked on sorting pom-pom's by color and then by size. Victoria also started on her Kumon Workbook - Let's Cut Paper and Brain Quest for threes. She didn't want to stop.
When we finish the letter Cc, I will post what all did. Hope you have a great day and God bless.
