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".

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.

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.
