Super Week

We’ll start out with the highlight of last week – our new kitchen floor!  The boys and I left for CC that morning and returned home about 7 hours later.  Gone was the original, ugly white floor that showed every speck of dirt.  Now we have a nice, updated floor that shows very little.  I think we’re all pleased with the results.

Here is the before:





And, the after:






We needed help from Evan's dad to get the oven back.  Unfortunately, we had to wait until Tuesday evening.  Here's what school looked like on Tuesday:
Notice the oven to the top left.


Also, this past week, Daniel learned about the letter S.  He decorated his S with stars.





He also worked on his pre-writing skills with a Star Wars paper.  Nicholas was a little surprised that Daniel got to share in one of his favorite things. 
Star Wars!  What?!?



Daniel also matched the characters.



The next day we tried to work on his cutting skills, but he wasn't quite understanding how to hold the scissors.  So, I did the cutting for him and then had him find all of the matches.



One thing that Daniel can do is glue and he likes to do it all by himself!  He glued more puzzles together.
  






S is most definitely for siblings!  While they have their squabbles at times, they also can play nice too.






On Friday, Daniel did some more pre-writing with a snowman page.


And, finally, he dot pained a snowman.




I had a lot more ideas for Daniel since S is such an easy letter, but he’s fallen prey to second child syndrome.  I told Evan that Nicholas got so much more of my creativity.  Daniel gets some, but I don’t have the time to do as much as I would like because I need to work with Nicholas.  I said if another kid ever joined our family, that child would be lucky to even learn the alphabet.  But, I think Daniel still enjoys the activities that I have for him each day.  Thankfully, T is a pretty easy week too. 



Daniel’s materials were found from various websites, such as:
