Letter Q Work

Cute things kids say: 
Jerry's birthday is on Thanksgiving. I was talking to Sarita and telling her maybe we could surprise him at work. Sarita said "and get him a new truck". :o) Then I explained I meant eating lunch with him not bringing him a new truck.
Sarita was tracing/writing q's and she was giving them names and making them be babies and mamas. She named one after her cousin, Levi. And she named one Papa Jeff and said "he is wonderful".

Q-tip painting

I cleaned out the front closet where I store all our school stuff.

Sarita had a blast pulling things out and playing.

Caught our princess looking at books different times this week.

Playing with pattern blocks.

Wrap wire around end of barrette to secure. 

Trim ribbon ends. 

Separate ribbon loops. 

Replace tension bar in barrette. Ta-da! 

Thank you Bella for modeling the bow for me.

(The girls were playing dress up - hence the lack of clothes.) 

Sewing gifts for a baby shower

John Deere Ball has 12 separate sections that were sewn together. 

Here is the mommy to be, Karen, with the blanket I made.

It had a print on the other side that was different kinds of animals.

Little Princess

We are taking a break from pre-school work this week.

I am hoping to complete Christmas shopping.

 Jerry is going backpacking in the mountains.

So we are taking a little vacation and just having fun playing around.

Jerry and I took our little princess to the library for treats and reads.

Sarita's hair is thin and short: I had to put it in four pony tails to make it look full. 

 

 We went to Bella's 3rd birthday and had fun playing.

Letter P Work

This week is a little different for us because Sarita is going to stay with her grammie Wednesday night after church until Saturday or Sunday. So we have done most of our letter P work on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday we saved for going to the library to do story time, crafts, computer and free play. Sarita also has some worksheets she can do at grammie's house if she wants.
Mommy is going to enjoy some personal library time and some time alone with Daddy. :)

Do-a-dot P, P tracing, P letter hunt, P color by letter

Doing a number order puzzle that I found at the 2 Teaching Mommies site.
It was a part of the pumpkin unit.

Coloring page (found the ocean/fish tray at a yard sale - 

it's very sturdy plastic; I think it was a lunch tray?)

We made pumpkin cake.

It was from a recipe for pumpkin bars but I didn't have the right size pan.

So we made it in a cake pan and cooked for 15 minutes longer.

Jerry liked it but it was a tad too sweet for me.

Song - I hear the sound of victory

I keep hearing this song on black gospel radio online.

I like it so I looked it up. Here it is:

I hear the sound of victory
I know that things are gonna change for me
I make the sound everywhere I go
And I share the sound with everyone I know

And because of His blood( I overcome)
I don't have to fight ( it's already won)
And with every step I take it's getting closer (closer)

And the louder it gets (the louder I praise)
The more intense (the more I praise)
And the harder it gets (the harder I praise)
My victory is on the way...and it's in my praise
(Repeat)

When I praise (when I praise)
Hands upraised (when I praise)
Things start changing (when I praise)
Rearranging (when I praise)
When I'm on the mountain ( I just praise)
Or even in my valley (I just praise)
Whatever comes my way ( I just praise)
I lift my hands and (just praise)

And because of His blood( I overcome)
I don't have to fight ( it's already won)
And with every step I take it's getting closer (closer)

The louder it gets (the louder I praise)
The more intense (the more I praise)
And the harder it gets (the harder I praise)
My victory is on the way...and it's in my praise
(Repeat 3 x's)

Hallelujah...Hallelujah...Hallelujah..Hallelujah
The harder it gets (the harder I praise)
My victory is on the way...and it's in my praise
(Repeat)

Lord I love you...Lord I love you...Lord I love you...Lord I love you
The harder it gets (the harder I praise)
My victory is on the way...and it's in my praise

Hallelujah...Hallelujah...Hallelujah..Hallelujah
The harder it gets (the harder I praise) ~ (3 x's)
My victory is on the way...and it's in my praise

Playing with a Melissa and Doug Stamp Set 

Here is Sarita saying her Sunday school scripture

that we have been working on for the past few (3 or 4) weeks.

I first took the video on Jerry's camera, which is much clearer and better quality

but it was taking a long time to upload so I took another one on my older camera.

Mark 12:29-30

Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

 ³⁰And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, 

and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength:
