Puppets!

Wal-Mart now has crafts by Martha Stewart. I found these adorable little bag puppets there. They are great! The bags aren't paper, but fabric. That means even Maddox can play. All of the parts have "stickers" so no messy glue.

And the poster!

Learning "A"

Here is Maddox coloring his A picture. I will have to post a picture of his poster later. We are doing the "Letter of the Week" curriculum with him.

Learning to read and camping!

Alex has been working SO hard learning how to read. We got the yellow level Hooked on Phonics kit off of EBay. (Got to love EBay!) So far he has read the first 3 stories in it. He already knew all of his letter sounds thanks to a Leapfrog movie his Great Uncle Jeff and Aunt Jen got him.

Here is Alex teaching Maddox the sounds of the letters!

Then Alex wanted to go camping! So we made this homemade camping tent in the computer room. He loved it! I need to get him a real tent so we can have a camp out in the back yard some day soon.

Notice the drums? They go everywhere Alex goes. LOL
