Mountain State Fair

Last weekend we took the girls to the fair. We all had a wonderful time. The girls loved looking at the animals. Keyword there is "looking." Victoria loves animals unless she has to touch them. Of course, fearless Elizabeth would have been up for touching them. :)


Here are some pictures of the girls riding some of the rides.

The girls got to try a Funnel Cake for the first time, my all time favorite fair food. Victoria thought it was okay, but not too special. Elizabeth tried one bite and then decided she just wanted to eat the powdered sugar on top. Victoria had been wanting to see the pigs all day. Thankfully we found them right before we left.
I always enjoy watching the girls when they experience something new. It is so much fun to see their reactions. Hope you had a great weekend as well.

The Letter T

Two weeks ago we worked on the letter T. Our verse was, "Thou shall not steal." - Exodus 20:15
The girls had a lot of fun this week. We did lots of activities with Turtles for T. Also, for our art class we did a scarecrow craft and they had lots of fun playing with friends. Here are some pictures of our favorite things from this week.
Elizabeth matching Large, Medium and Small Turtles.

I hope they always enjoy learning this much!

The Letter L

Last week was our first week of Preschool stuff and we had our first Art/Craft Class last week.
We started last week on the Letter L. We are doing the alphabet starting with the easiest letters to write because Victoria already knows her letters and letter sounds.

Here are the girls "First day of school pictures."

Elizabeth Victoria

Victoria learned the bible verse, "Let your light shine before men so that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven." - Matthew 5:16 It is so sweet listening to hear her say it.
We did lots of things this week, but here are some pictures of our favorites.

Victoria and Elizabeth tracing lines to be ready to write the letter L.

We had a great week. Hope you did as well.

For those of you wondering, we are doing a combination of things, but lots of our ideas come from these two ladies and their blogs.
